Menorca has to be one of the most laid back islands in Balearics, with more beaches than all the islands put together. Rugged cliffs give way to secluded coves and calm waters. Lush green countryside is home to olive groves and orchards. Narrow cobbled streets lead down to quaint fishing harbours. Summer holidays to Menorca really are as idyllic as they sound…

For those who like to laze around, to those who prefer water sports such as scuba diving and sailing. There are also plenty of sandy spots for those who prefer a remote place to relax by the water.

Mahon the capital of the island is where you will see impressive Georgian townhouses from the days of British occupation in the 18th century. The harbour area is lined with cafés and restaurants that make it an inviting place to sit down and people watch. Menorca's second town Cuitadella has a much more Moorish and Spanish influence in its architecture.

And for the beach resorts wll it be the horseshoe-shaped bay of Arenal D’en Castell, with its expanse of sand and choice of watersports, the pine-fringed bay of Cala Galdana, deemed by many to be the most beautiful of the western Mediterranean, or the family-orientated resort of Cala’n Forcat, where the kids can splash around all day long at the fantastic aqua park.
