Are you getting ready for your next getaways in the lovely weather? Then head to the Balearic Islands and its little gem, a.k.a. Menorca. With turquoise coves, white villages, and Mediterranean charm… We’ve put together a selection of delightful spots to enjoy the island like a local.

For a Peaceful Sleep

Menorca Experimental 

It’s undoubtedly one of the most beautiful spots in Menorca. Here, in a 30-hectare estate featuring a beautifully renovated 19th-century finca, you’ll find a 4-star hotel with a spa, designed to feel like a high-end vacation home. Located in the south of the island, Menorca Experimental captures the very essence of the Mediterranean, where you can enjoy the surrounding nature as well as a sunny afternoon by the infinity pool. To extend your experience, you’re invited to sit on the terrace, illuminated in the evening under a starry sky, where you can savor well-prepared dishes that celebrate local products, some even grown right in their garden. A true hotel gem that is (absolutely) worth the detour. 

Address: Camí de Llucalari, 07730, Balearic Islands, Spain


Son Triay

Authentic 18th-century house, full of history and elegance, Son Triay is the epitome of Minorcan charm. Surrounded by a large garden with a swimming pool, tennis court, forests, and cultivated fields, it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy your vacation in peace. The rooms are scattered between the main building and the charming little cottages around it, also offering typical shared kitchens and delicious breakfasts served on the poolside terrace. A true haven of peace, ideally located near Ferreries, just a 5-minute drive from the stunning Cala Mitjana and Cala Mitjaneta.

Son Blanc Farmhouse 

Farm, hotel, restaurant… Son Blanc Farmhouse is part of the agrotourism offerings on the island, this time on a beautiful 130-hectare plot of preserved wild nature. It's a stunning estate, featuring a old white stone finca – originally an abandoned 19th-century farmhouse – beautifully restored in the finest Spanish and Mediterranean tradition. With intimate rooms (14 in total), all decorated with natural materials, a vegetable garden that produces seasonal delights year-round, and the large communal tables in the restaurant where you can savor the local harvests, Son Blanc Farmhouse offers a truly authentic and heartfelt Balearic Islands experience.

Amagatay Menorca

A little haven surrounded by olive trees and ancient stones, Amagatay makes time stand still. Set in a 19th-century agricultural estate, a land rich with centuries of history, the hotel pays homage to Menorcan heritage in the most beautiful way: with tastefulness and respect for the island's nature and rural history. In addition to some gorgeous rooms, Amagatay also features two restaurants, El Olivar and La Parrilla, offering local products and carefully crafted cuisine on the menu. A Sunset Bar completes the experience, a perfect spot to sip cocktails while watching the sunset.

For a Dreamy Splash 

Cala Mitjana & Cala Mitjaneta

Cala Mitjana is undoubtedly one of the most stunning coves in Menorca. Accessible after a twenty-minute walk (on a well-maintained path, no worries!), it offers a charming turquoise spectacle, with a hidden little cave just waiting for your adventurous spirit. Its little sister, Cala Mitjaneta, provides a more intimate spot just a few steps away. Friendly tip: come early (really early) to enjoy the beauty with a small group!

Address: Cala Mitjana, Spain


Es Clot De Sa Cera 

Less crowded than the famous Cala En Brut, Es Clot De Sa Cera reveals other shades of blue that make the island renowned. A cozy cove, surrounded only by a few rocks and some vacation homes, where you can happily jump from a few meters high (perfect for thrill-seekers). 

Address: Avinguda de Cala Blanca, 07769 Cala Blanca, Balearic Islands, Spain


Cala en Turqueta 

Another turquoise treasure of Minorca : Cala en Turqueta. A small, elongated beach surrounded by pines. The perfect place to enjoy sunny days and take a dip with the most beautiful view ever!

Address: Cala en Turqueta, Spain


Cala Progonda 

Located in the north of Menorca, Cala Progonda boasts its beautiful white sand, distinctive for its . It's a more accessible, intimate beach that is just as stunning.

Address: Cala Pregonda, Spain


For a Spanish snack 

Bar Imperi

On the main square of Ciutadella, the plaça des Born, Bar Imperi serves up the best bocadillos on the island. A big favorite is the one with sobrasada and honey, made with super local ingredients, which we happily enjoy with a large glass of horchata and a ensaimada. 

Address: Plaça des Born, 5, 07760 Ciutadella, Balearic Islands, Spain


The Chicken House

This is THE neighborhood bistro where you can fill up on tapas in Ciutadella. It’s lively, there’s delicious food, drinks flowing, and elbows being nudged at the bar… A Galician counter (with a Minorcan twist) that brings the heart of the city to life. There’s often a bit of a wait, but it’s totally worth it. In fact, it’s the best place to try Galician zamburiñas (they're to die for).

Address: Carrer de Sant Pere, 11, 07760 Ciutadella, Balearic Islands, Spain


Gelateria Deliri

This ice cream shop is a huge favorite located right by the lively market of Ciutadella, in the Plaça de la Libertat. Here, you can enjoy (without a doubt) the best ice creams on the island, 100% handmade, made entirely from seasonal fruits, especially from the local area!

Address: Plaça de la Llibertat, 6, 07760 Ciutadella, Balearic Islands, Spain


Es Jardi de Ses Bruixes 

This time on the side of Mahón, Es Jardi de Ses Bruixes offers a true haven of peace with its lovely green patio. The place welcomes you for cozy nights, but you can also settle in for a while to refresh yourself with a juice and homemade pastries. 

Address: Carrer de San Fernando, 26, 07702 Maó, Balearic Islands, Spain


To feast your eyes

Binibeca

It’s a must-see in Menorca. With its beautifully preserved white old town, Binibeca offers a real stroll through the alleys of an open-air museum. The only prerequisite: be discreet and respect the locals (whom we, Parisians, can empathize with given the influx of tourists).

Address: Binibeca, Balearic Islands, Spain


Pont d’en Gil 

A natural masterpiece, Pont d’En Gil, near Ciutadella, is one of the best spots to watch the sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. It's super easy to access along the coastline, via the famous Cami des Cavalls.
