3-Day Menorca Itinerary
Most people visit Menorca for 7 nights or more, however, with daily flights from the UK and other European destinations during the summer season, why not visit the island for a long weekend? The short flight time and the proximity of our Menorca holiday villa rentals to the airport make for a great getaway break. The island has much to offer and to lend a hand we have put together the following 3 day trip itinerary.
-
Day 1
Start your trip in the capital town Mahon, with a little retail therapy in the town centre followed by a stroll on the port and lunch at one of the many popular restaurants.
In the afternoon, head over to the northern side of the port for a guided cultural tour of La Mola Fortress, which is a spectacular example of 19th-century military architecture. The views from here will not disappoint!
After a busy day, in the evening sit back and relax whilst tasting local wines and cheese at the island´s vineyard, Bodegas de Binifadet.
Day 2
Start your day early and head east to wander through the historic capital, Ciutadella, and visit the 14th century Santa María Cathedral.
Es Mercadal, the typical Menorcan town in the centre of the island is the perfect stop for lunch, however, first be sure to climb to the island´s highest point, Monte Toro. The 360º views from just 358m altitude are spectacular!
Finally, the time has come to enjoy one of the white-sand, crystal clear turquoise water beaches that everyone talks about! Head southwards towards Es Migjorn, where you will be able to choose between Santo Tomás beach resort or the most visited virgin beach on the south-central coast, Binigaus.
You will be well and truly relaxed after your afternoon gazing at the Mediterranean Sea. Continue with this chilled-out vibe with a sunset cocktail at Cova d'en Xoroi, before dining at one of several restaurants at Cala en Porter.
Day 3
Time to head northwards. Cavallería lighthouse is one of the island´s most visited lighthouses, and is a great sightseeing trip to combine with a north-coast virgin beach, Cavallería, Binimel·la or Pregonda.
After the morning relaxing on the golden sand, head towards Fornells harbour to luncheon at one of the islands famous fish restaurants, followed by a walk in S'Albufera des Grau in the Biosphere Reserve near Mahón. The peace and tranquillity inside the natural park is wonderful!
For dinner on the third evening, it´s Cales Fonts in Es Castell. The picturesque port has a vibrant atmosphere with sea-front bars and restaurants embedded inside the cliff edge, artisan market stalls and the comings and goings of fisherman´s boats.
So there you have it, just a few of the things you can see when staying 3 - 4 nights in a Menorca holiday villa rental!
