The rugged scenery and culture-brimming cities of Menorca make this Balearic island much more than a beach holiday destination – explore it all from your own home from home.

For a therapeutic dose of unspoiled nature, Menorca is a safe bet. The Balearic island is home to some 70 beaches strung along the coast, while inland city Mahón offers boutique shopping, historical Spanish architecture and, come the spring, a lively fair. Ciutadella, on the other hand, is a fascinating haven of winding, cobbled streets hiding all sorts of (nice) surprises. These carefully selected hotels plonk you in the heart of whatever adventure you plump for in this sun-drenched corner of Spain.
