First time visiting Menorca? We want you to get the most from your car hire Menorca experience. For this reason, we have enrolled the support of a local travel expert to help get you on the way. Follow these important travel tips and enjoy the best that Menorca provides.

See: Menorca’s passed through the hands of numerous civilisations, nations and cultures over the centuries. For proof of this, visit prehistoric monuments such as the ancient settlement at Torre d’en Galmés, or the burial chamber at the Naveta des Tudons (there were 100 skeletons crammed inside when it was discovered in the mid-1970s.)

Always fearful of who might attack the island, Menorca’s coastline is littered with watchtowers, defence towers, and look out posts. Explore the foreboding underground tunnels at what remains of St Philip’s Castle, the strategically placed fortress at La Mola, the three hundred year old British naval hospital on King’s Island in the middle of the port, or hear the whispers of ghosts at the old quarantine station, Lazareto.

And if all that sounds too much like hard work, you can always pop to the beach. Families will like Es Grau’s shallow waters or the protected bay at Binibeca; the energetic might prefer to surf at Punta Prima or rent kayaks in Fornells; walkers have a hike on their hands to reach the isolated sands at Pregonda or Cala Pilar; while those reluctant to veer too far from civilization would do well at Sant Tomàs, Santandria or Arenal d’en Castell.

Shop: The island is home to two of Spain’s top names in designer footwear, Mascaró and Pons Quintana. Mascaró has a factory shop in Ferreries – complete with a café to refuel – that includes an outlet store with past seasons’ boots, bags, high heels and Pretty Ballerina pumps. When dressing down, islanders opt for albarcas, comfy leather sandals with a sole made from recycled tyres.

Between June and September, there are regular craft markets across the island, usually accompanied by live music. Try visiting Ciutadella on Mondays, Es Migjorn on Tuesdays, Alaior on Wednesdays or Es Mercadal on Thursdays.

Eat: For the very finest lobster stew – a feast that will fill your stomach and empty your wallet – seek out Es Cranc, on one of the few streets in Fornells that doesn’t overlook the water, or Café Balear in Ciutadella’s port.

Carnivores will enjoy Ca Na Marga in Ses Salines, where you can peek over the chef’s shoulder to see how your steak is coming along. For an Italian night, try Casanova in Mahón’s port, while Na Rosa in Torret offers a great range of Menorcan cheeses and cold meats.

Islanders have a sweet tooth. Favourite pastries include ensaïmades, a sugar-covered swirl; shortbread-style pastissets; crunchy, bite-size carquinyols and gooey, almond-flavoured amargos. A visit to the bakery and café Cas Sucrer, in Es Mercadal, results in a guaranteed sugar rush.

Drink: Under British rule in the eighteenth century, a handful of enterprising islanders decided to cater to the demands of thirsty British sailors, and today, gin is an island favourite – especially at fiesta time when it is mixed with lemonade to make pomada. 

For a leisurely drink as the sun goes down, explore the spectacular natural caves and terraces at Cova d’en Xoroi. A bit closer to the sand, opt for Los Bucaneros on Binibeca beach or Cocoa Beach Club at S’Arenal, which offers chill-out tunes while you savour your beer. If it’s wine you prefer, the terrace at Binifadet vineyard is a great place to sample Menorcan vino.

Locals party until the early hours. Mahón’s port hosts a range of bars and clubs – including the informal Latitud 40, the sleek La Falua and the classic, Mambo. In Ciutadella, visit Fusión or La Margarete in town.

Stay: For a rural retreat, Menorca has several boutique hotels to choose from. Binigaus Vell conserves many original features from when it was a farm; the creative owners at Biniarroca make the hotel feel like a gallery; while at Sant Joan de Binisssaida, you’ll spot sheep outside your bedroom window.

In Mahón, the converted stately home Casa Albertí offers a warm welcome, while Hotel Tres Sants in Ciutadella is a glamorous setting in the heart of the old town.

Walk: Menorca’s perimeter path, the Camí de Cavalls, offers nearly 200km of coastal footpaths that traverse cliffs, countryside and resorts.

For guided walks, both Ciutadella and Mahón’s town hall organise tours past local churches, museums and stately homes. Or if you prefer to go solo, try the route to the impressive Colom Cave near Es Migjorn Gran, or recommended walks in Mahón’s port. Venturing inland, the shady Algendar gorge near Ferreries weaves down to Cala Galdana beach, while there are several short paths around the tranquil wetlands at s’Albufera des Grau.

Get out: You won’t see the ‘real’ Menorca in a resort! Get lost among the labyrinth of cobbled streets that make up Ciutadella’s old town; watch fishermen at work in Mahón’s port or in Es Grau or Sanitja; elbow your way past housewives at the fruit & veg stalls in Clasture del Carme in Mahón; or just watch the world go by as you linger over a coffee.

Listen: From fine opera (Mahón’s the home to Spain’s oldest opera theatre), to clumsy marching bands, Menorca’s music scene certainly aims to please.

In high season, internationally renowned classical musicians perform in Mahón and Ciutadella’s summer music festivals. For jazz lovers, JazzObert draws big names for its spring festival – ending in a lengthy picnic performance at Cala en Blanes beach in May. The rest of the year, both Akelarre on the waterfront in Mahón’s and Jazzbah in Ciutadella’s port offer regular concerts. Watch performances by local bands in the basement of Ars Café, in the centre of Mahón.

For those itching to perform, the Tuesday night summer jazz sessions at Casino Sant Climent are open to everyone.

Avoid: It can be hard to find a square inch of sand on some of Menorca’s best beaches in the height of the season, so get to the beach early.

Island fiestas may look like fun (and they are, so don’t miss them!), but be careful of heading into the main square when brave riders entice their black stallions to walk on their hind legs.
