Spain Destination Guide - Sovereign Luxury Travel

MENORCA
Holidays in Menorca are for couples, families, and nature
lovers looking for somewhere quiet. The Spanish Balearic
island of Menorca is only 30 miles long and 10 miles wide –
large enough to offer lots to do, but keeping everything within
reach. Boasting over 100 beaches, many Blue Flag, this is the
place to visit coves with white sand and a calm, turquoise
sea. Some of the best beaches include Cala Macarella with
its backdrop of pine trees, beaches of golden sand –
including Playa de Cavalleria, or rocky adventure
playgrounds like Mitjana. A haven for those who love to walk,
Menorca holidays offer plenty of places inaccessible by car.
Sovereign has plenty of luxury to offer in Menorca – fabulous
hotels with marble décor, luxury spas, and extensive wine
lists, simply a short walk from excellent seafood restaurants,
for example, overlooking the marina of Cala n Bosch.
VISIT: Meander the unspoilt, gentle hills of the island’s
interior, hike up to El Toro, the island’s highest point, walk
from beach to beach the entire length of the coast, or
explore the UNESCO designated S’Albufera des Grau
lagoon and its unfrequented natural park and coastline.
TRY: Caldereta de llagosta is a local favourite – a
mouth-watering lobster stew served on thin toast.
Menorca also lays claim to mayonnaise, so be sure to try
some – it’s quite different to anything you may have
bought in a jar.
TOP TIP: “A must while in Menorca is a visit to the gin
distillery in Port Mahon. You can see where the gin is
produced, try out different flavourings (from aniseed to
peppermint schnapps) and buy a bottle or two to bring
home.” - Leanne, Personal Travel Planner
