<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, I\u2019ll share a bit more about each of these areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most popular places to stay in Menorca, especially if you’re looking to be in an urban center, is Ciutadella. If you’re visiting in the off-season and aren’t focused on beach time, it’s one of the best options, alongside Mah\u00f3n. The tourism in this area is more about exploring monuments and the island’s rich history. If you choose this area to stay in, the hotel offer is very wide in terms of the typology of hotels and tourist apartments. The taste of each one and also the price will be the decisive points because any street in Ciutadella is a good place to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should consider the following hotels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Just at the opposite end of the island is Mah\u00f3n, the other urban point of Menorca. We chose it to stay, and I couldn’t be happier. It has a different charm than Ciutadella, but I liked it much more… If you like to enjoy the essence of the places, I recommend Mah\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am in love with its food market. You can buy the fruit, vegetables, fish, and meat of the day along with legumes, rich cheeses, and handicrafts or island fashion. At the back is the old fish market, which today is a snack bar. In the market I recommend Sa Petita for breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mahon also has several places to visit: the Fortress of La Mola, the Museum of Menorca, the Church of Nostra Senyora del Carme, the Church of Santa Maria, the Portal de Sant Roc, and the Castle of San Felipe. If you want to get to know Mah\u00f3n in depth, you can book this free tour of the town<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to go to the beach near the center, you can go to Sa Mesquida Beach or Cala Alcaufar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In hotels, there is also a great offer, but it is more affordable in terms of price than Ciutadella (perhaps because it is less touristic). They are very nice and pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 If you have only a few days to explore this beautiful island? Check out this 4-day itinerary to discover Menorca<\/a>. I recommend a daily itinerary that will take you to the main towns, lighthouses, and the most beautiful beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Leaving the urban centers and choosing more beaches and nature to stay at, the offer expands, and there is much more to choose from. We will start in the north of the island with Cala Fornells. It is one of the best-known beaches, but what is really interesting is the small fishing village that still retains its most authentic essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ll begin in the north of the island with Fornells. It is an area known for its small fishing village, which still retains its most authentic essence. Near the village there are beaches like Cala Tirant, ideal to enjoy the natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In spite of this beach being very well known, there are not too many lodgings. There are a couple of hotels in the village itself, and the rest are further away or are tourist apartments. It is clear that it is a perfect place to stay in Menorca if what you are looking for is the most authentic relaxation and disconnection away from everything but in a beautiful environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most picturesque places in this area are the Torre de Fornells, the lighthouse of Cavalleria, the beach of Fornells, and the Cala Tirant or Monte Toro. In addition, many boat trips depart from here, such as this one to the coves in the north of the island<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Near this area, you can choose to stay in some of the following hotels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before leaving the north of Menorca, and especially if you are looking for a quiet and romantic destination, let’s make a stop in Arenal d’en Castell. It is one of those beaches with white sand that invites you to lie there for hours and enjoy the sunset without worrying about anything but catching a few more minutes of sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arenal d’en Castell beach is extensive and has white sand and beautiful turquoise waters, inviting you to lie there for hours. This area also has a good range of accommodation, from resorts to apartments, as well as restaurants and activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although there are many large tourist resorts, they are designed and conceived for quiet vacations, so they work hard to offer couples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n After arriving in Menorca, Binibeca was the first place we visited, and I have to say that I would have stayed there to live or, at least, to spend a few days relaxing. Binibeca is the most charming village of Menorca, and it cannot be more beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This small fishing village is formed by narrow streets and low houses of pristine white. It is built next to the sea, next to a small dock where fishing boats rest. As you can imagine, walking around Binibeca is a magical experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Staying in Binibeca is a fantastic option for those seeking peace and an idyllic setting, but also a good base for exploring the south and the rest of Menorca. Although the village itself is quiet, it is well connected to other key points on the island, making it a strategic location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the area, you will find a small but great hotel offer, from villas and tourist apartments to charming boutique hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These hotels in Binibeca can be a great option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\ude97 The best way to get around the island is by car. If you still need to rent a car for your trip to Menorca, I recommend Discover Cars<\/a>, as they have the best prices and you can include comprehensive insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n To be in the center of the island and at an intermediate distance from everything, the best is, without a doubt, Cala Galdana (especially if you are looking for a beach and a touristic place). They say that these are the most beautiful beaches on the island, but it is also true that some beaches are ugly in Menorca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cala Galdana is ideal for couples, but it’s perfect for families with children. It offers a wide range of services, including water sports and boat trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From here depart the routes to the most photographed beaches of the island, such as Cala Macarelleta. If you are interested in this activity, take a look at this boat trip to the southern coves<\/a>. The boat leaves from Cala Galdana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cala Galdana is the largest beach in the area, offering services, hammocks, and beach bars. However, there are other coves in the surrounding area that are worth exploring. These are Cala Mitjana, Cala Macarella, Cala Macarelleta, and Cala Turqueta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this point, there are several hotel options, all of which are close to the beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are on a tight budget or simply don’t want to spend a large part of your budget on accommodation, this is the best area in Menorca. It is beautiful and with more moderate prices. In addition its beach is very nice, it is not overcrowded at all and its location is very good since it is 15 minutes away from the airport and the capital, Mah\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Located in the south of the island, the most remarkable besides its beaches are its impressive cliffs, magnificent to enjoy the sunset. Cala Porter is famous for being a small secluded beach embraced by two large cliffs that you will want to immortalize in your memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the small urbanization located there there are different restaurants, bars, playgrounds, stores and pharmacies to cover any need during your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From there, I recommend visiting Cova d’en Xoroi, Cala en Porter, Cala Binidali, which is very close to Mah\u00f3n. Also don’t miss this kayak tour through the caves of Cala en Porter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most reviewed hotels in the area are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The longest beach on the island of Menorca is Son Bou, and it is also located in the southern part. It is one of the most attractive for tourists (perhaps because of its length) and has all the services of a large beach: lifeguards, showers, water sports, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Son Bou beach, with crystal clear waters, is perfect for swimming and enjoyment in the sea. It is especially popular for families due to its width and shallow depth, ideal if you are traveling with children. The only large dunes on the island are just behind, in what is known as the Natural Area of Special Interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a very popular area because its access by car is quite easy (with a large parking lot at the entrance), and it is also very well connected by public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a variety of hotels to suit all tastes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A few kilometers from the previous area (Son Bou), Santo Tom\u00e1s is also located in the south of the island and enjoys a magnificent location but more tranquility and peace. With a beach 390 meters long (and 25 meters wide), this is its main attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its promenade, along which to stroll in the evening, surrounded by restaurants, bars, and craft stores, is its other great attraction, perfect to enjoy in perfect combination with tranquility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep in mind that in Santo Tomas there is not much to do, and if you are looking for activities, you will have to move around. In the surroundings, you can visit other beaches such as Playa de Son Bou, Playa de San Adeodato, or Playa de Binigaus. If you are a diving lover, this is a good place to go for a dive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the most outstanding hotels are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

![\"where](\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/alojamiento-en-menorca.webp\")
Ciutadella was once the capital of Menorca, which is why it boasts a wealth of historical buildings. The town center is entirely pedestrian-friendly, with charming shops offering local crafts and typical gastronomic products.
If you’re not traveling by car, Ciutadella is an ideal spot to stay since the main bus routes across the island depart and return here.
The town is also known for its boutique hotels, perfect for a romantic getaway or a peaceful stay. The caf\u00e9s in the center are perfect for having breakfast or an afternoon snack, where you can relax while reading a good book after exploring the island.
As night falls, Ciutadella takes on a different vibe. Beyond its diverse restaurants offering delicious local cuisine, it has the island’s liveliest nightlife, with plenty of bars and clubs to choose from.
While Ciutadella is located at one end of the island, there are still plenty of places to visit. Notable attractions include the Port of Ciutadella, the Cathedral of Santa Maria de Menorca, the Castle of San Nicolau, and the Mercat des Peix. For a deeper dive into the city, consider joining a free walking tour<\/a> to discover all it has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRecommended hotels in Ciutadella<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
