Plenty to do for holidaymakers staying at Menorca hotels
The lovely isle of Menorca in the Balearic Islands has plenty to offer holidaymakers of all types. With all the right ingredients for a laid back holiday experience, Menorca boasts stunning beaches, breathtaking countryside and welcoming hospitality in abundance. Guests at the many comfortable Menorca hotels will find themselves well catered for as they indulge in the rest and relaxation they deserve on their Mediterranean island break.
Menorca has a great range of beaches guarenteed to complement any mood, whether searching for solitude or fun in the sun. A great family choice is the popular Son Parc beach, while Son Bou is a good all-rounder. Those seeking some time away from the crowds will find that Cala Turqueta is a welcoming choice, as is Cala Trebaluger where visitors can enjoy bird watching and sitting under the shade of the surrounding pine trees.
When it comes to getting a bit more active, Menorca can provide a good selection of sporting and adventure opportunities. Cala Galdana is a good choice for a wide range of options, from watersports and boat trips, to mini golf and cycling. Meanwhile, at various resorts and locations across the island tourists can enjoy activities such as horse riding, scuba diving and go karting.
The town of Cuitadella on the north west coast is a good port of call for those wanting to get to know Menorca’s history and culture a bit better. In the past, the town was the island’s capital and now it remains an important religious centre with a pretty old town and harbour for visitors to explore. Or, a great way to get to know the locals is to get involved in the summer fiesta celebrations, where horse stunts and parades are just some of the attractions. Employees at the Menorca hotels in the local area will be able to advise on where and when to go.
After a satisfying day getting a taste of local culture, holidaymakers can settle down to a delicious Menorcan meal. Fresh ingredients and local produce are the key characteristics of island cuisine. The Balearics are known for their tasty stews in particular, featuring meats or a range of vegetables. Alongside this, there are plenty of international options on offer at Menorca hotels and restaurants, designed to suit all palattes. Menorca is also known for its fine gin – visiting the Xoriguer Distillery will make sure you get to enjoy this beverage at its best.
