Family Holidays in Menorca
Menorca is one of the favourite Mediterranean islands for family holidays. Hot sunny days are almost assured and we have an enormous range of lovely villas, apartments and hotels for your perfect holiday. You can choose a place in the hills with a swimming pool and a view of that blue, blue sea, or one near the beach within wading distance for the kids. Menorca is a small island so it is very easy to get around and explore the olive-groved hills, the little villages and the many small coves and beaches. Also don’t miss out on a visit to Mahon, Menorca’s main town. The narrow streets with glimpses of the harbour are full of little restaurants and shops and give you that ‘I’m on holiday on a Mediterranean Island’ feeling. Check out our great selection of child friendly holidays to Menorca below or read on for some tips on its many attractions:
Top Tips for that extra special family holiday in Menorca:
- Don’t be content with just your swimming pool or nearest beach, take the kids to check out a few of the many picturesque coves and beaches in other parts of the island.
- Most kids like to get onto a pony or horse so treat them to a trek around the island. This is a popular activity and will be easy to organise from wherever you are staying. The little ones will also enjoy the donkey ‘Safari Park’ near Fornells.
- A few hours in the Mahon, the island’s capital and historic port, makes a nice contrast to all that sunbathing. Stroll around the atmospheric streets, check out its museum, admire the boats in the harbour and take advantage of the many restaurants and shops.
- If the kids are looking for something a little more exciting take them to experience the aqueous delights of Los Delfines Aquapark. The Black Hole is said to be very scary!
- A visit to the S'Albufera des Grau Nature Reserve is a must for any families who enjoy the countryside. In a picturesque protected setting of wetland, coastline and cliffs you can admire the native plant life and many types of birds of this lovely island.
