Ciutadella
The historic former capital on the west coast, known for narrow stone streets, cathedral squares and lively summer evenings. Best suited to visitors who value atmosphere and walkable character.
Maó (Mahón)
Menorca’s eastern harbour city, defined by its long natural port and year-round local rhythm. A strong base for those who prefer a working town feel over resort environments.
North Coast
Rugged and dramatic, with red sand beaches such as Cala Pregonda and Cavalleria. Quieter than the south and more exposed to the tramontana wind.
South Coast
Home to white sand coves and turquoise water, including Cala Mitjana and Cala Macarella. Popular in summer, especially when the north is windier.
