The natural island with a human touch
Welcome to the island of gods and mythical creatures! The northern Tramuntana region is the setting for countless island legends, and it is easy to see why. The wind and the sea have carved astonishing dark silhouettes in the rock, giving the coastline a mystical feel. And what would a Balearic island be without its beaches? Just like the other islands of the archipelago, Minorca is home to white sandy beaches with turquoise waters that are perfect for swimming and bathing. The beaches in the south, in the Migjorn region, are typically framed by beautiful pine forests and offer a delightful and relaxing environment.

Must-do & Must-see - our suggestions
Must-do
- Relax on a terrace and enjoy the island's typical dish, a caldereta de langosta (lobster stew). It tastes even better when paired with a glass of white wine and a splendid sunset.
- Take a walk on the famous Camí de Cavalls, a mythical path that runs along most of the island's coastlines. The views are breathtaking and unforgettable stops await you in picturesque places. This old horse trail was once used by noblemen and landowners, who patrolled the island to protect it from pirates and other foreign intruders.
- Taste Minorca's favourite cocktail, the Pomada – a Minorcan gin with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Distilling gin on the island is a legacy dating back to the British occupation, and a visit to the famous Xoriguer gin distillery in the port of Mahón is a must.
Must-see
- Ciudadela, the former capital of the island, is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. Its architectural and historical heritage has been excellently preserved and its picturesque streets full of tapas bars are just waiting to be discovered!
- The Lloc de Menorca is a small but very popular zoo near Mahón. It is home to local and international species, and is a fun activity for all ages!
- Minorca is full of heavenly coves known as calas that could serve as a setting for fairytales! On the island, which has been declared a biosphere reserve, these calas you will come across are often surrounded by pine forests.
