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.

This modern getaway is perfectly located for a peaceful beach break. Step through the lush greenery by one of the two hotel pools and your toes will be in the golden sand of the small beach between Cala’n Bosch and Son Xoriguer. Enjoy postcard-worthy views of the Mediterranean before heading back to the beachfront hotel for a buffet dinner at the seaside-themed restaurant. Modern decor meets traditional with beamed ceilings above pinewood floors and oversized wall lamps.

Here you can relax in your simply-decorated apartment or in a canopy bed by the pool – but best of all are the nearby sites to explore. Walk 10 minutes to historical capital city Mahón, famous for shopping, festivals, a twinkling harbour and colourful Spanish architecture. Friendly hotel staff will help recommend must-sees and adventurous island excursions. Apartments have kitchens so you can fill up before exploring, and the delightful restaurant food is homemade using local ingredients.

Dine at tapas bars in the cobbled streets, then finish your night on the hotel rooftop with panoramic views of the twinkling town. With a basement pool and steam room, this 18th-century former mansion is perfect for romantic breaks and (let’s face it) total Insta bragging.
