The Balearic Islands

Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera make up the Balearic Islands, located off the east coast of mainland Spain in the Mediterranean Sea.

Menorca

MenorcaWhere geography becomes poetry… If the Mediterranean were a book, Menorca would be a beautiful poem read out in a whisper. The second largest of the Balearic archipelago, Meinorca is the shy sister of Majorca, captivating its visitors with a mixture of tranquil beauty and surprises. Lovely beaches and stunning countryside merge seamlessly to create the perfect environment for total relaxation.  Menorca is an island of contrasts with rocky landscapes and beautiful sandy beaches. Its two main towns could not be more different – the former capital, Ciutadella, is a small picturesque town, one of the most romantic in the whole Mediterranean. Mahon, the dynamic administrative and commercial capital is a natural harbour, with an intriguing and turbulent history. Their own unique charms and strong, unmistakeable characters, make both towns unmissable.
