What Accommodation to Choose According to the Type of Trip to Menorca

Última actualización: 20/08/2024

The offer of lodgings in Menorca is very varied and complete. You can find options whether you are looking for a campsite or if you are looking for a luxury hotel. As everyone looks for something different in their vacations, here are some recommendations depending on what you are looking for.

BeachFront Hotels

If you have come to Menorca for the Sun and the Beach and you don’t want to miss a second of the Mediterranean views, maybe what you need is a beachfront hotel. In Menorca there are more than 40 Hotels on the beachfront. Almost all are on the south coast, distributed fairly evenly from Maó to Ciutadella). In the north you only have front line hotels in Arenal d’en Castell and Fornells.

1. Meliá Cala Galdana (Cala Galdana) – [couple: 2,000 €/week in August]: The most famous hotel in Menorca without a doubt. Hated by many (for being so close to the beach) and loved by those looking to be able to go to the beach at all hours from their room. Its infinity pool and beach views from terraces, dining rooms and rooms I think are the best on the island.
2. Beach Canutells (Maó) – [couple: ~1.100€/week]: affordable apartments with terrace and sea views.
   Free parking and very close to Maó for those who enjoy getting to know some of the city.
3. Hotel 55 Sant Thomas (Santo Tomás) – [couple: 1,800 €/week in August]: Very new hotel in one of the most popular areas of Menorca, about 200m from the beach. Stand out for the pool area with the sun loungers, look at the photos!
4. Sol Beach House Menorca – Adults Only (Santo Tomás) – [couple: ~1.800€/week in August]: In real front line in Santo Tomás and with sea views from almost every corner. Adults only!
5. View +40 Beach Frontline Hotels – [couple: From 800€/week in August]

Hotels and Apartments with Kitchen

If you are in Menorca and you do not want to spend much in Restaurants you need an accommodation with kitchen. I always recommend a place with kitchen if you are going to stay many days (more than 5) and if you want to take advantage to cook your air and hurry up the plans late to the fullest. Having a kitchen allows you to have a late dinner if you go to watch the sunset at a distant lighthouse, or cook your pasta with tomato when you feel like it 😉 Also, if you cook at home most days you will be able to indulge yourself in a typical or fancy restaurant.

1. Insotel Punta Prima Prestige Suites & Spa (Punta Prima) – [couple: 2,000 €/week in August] : A hotel that is not cheap. If you take this i hope it is to cook every day because you will miss the budget at the Hotel. It is on the front line, with manicured gardens and some scandal suites.
2. Agrotourism Son Juaneda (Cala Morell) – [couple: 2,000 euros/week in August]: A hotel with charm and rural atmosphere. They have a kitchen, barbecue and organize horse backtrips.
3. Apartamentos Blancala (Cala Blanca/Ciutadella) – [couple: 700€/week in August]: Apartments with sea views. All have kitchen and are 10 minutes drive from Ciutadella,so you can visit it in the evenings and evenings and see the good atmosphere of the port and its alleys.

Hotels That Don’t Admit Children – Adults Only

An increasing number of hotels do not allow children. These hotels are usually aimed at couples of all ages who want to enjoy their holidays without the possible noises or headaches that sometimes cause the little ones. Spain in general has a lot of offer of these accommodations, and Menorca also has some adult-only accommodations. These are the recommendations.

1. Barceló Hamilton Menorca – Adults Only (Es Castell) – [couple: ~1.200€/week in August]: A Hotel with terraces, swimming pool and jacuzzi overlooking the port of Maó.
   Ideal environment for couples and very close to Maó in case you want to go out at night.
2. Valentín Star Menorca – Adults Only (Calan Bosch) – [couple: ~1.300€/week in August]: It is in a very touristic area and only 250m from the beach of Calan Bosch (which is not very nice). There are many bars, restaurants and shops in the area, and if you want to make a boat or jet ski ride you are next to the port.
3. Sol Beach House Menorca – Adults Only (Santo Tomás) – [couple: ~1.900€/week in August]: On the real front line in Santo Tomás and with sea views from almost every corner. Adults only!
4. Agrotourism Son Vives – Adults Only (Ferreries) – [couple: 1,500 €/week in August]: A very nice rural hotel with a very careful decoration and beautiful and relaxing rural landscapes. Very good destination for couples looking for total relaxation in their accommodation.
5. Artiem Carlos III – Adults Only (Es Castell) – [couple: ~1.400€/week in August]: Hotel very close to Maó with pool, Spa and adults only. In the evening you can walk to Cales Fonts and have a cocktail on the terrace of Pindapapoi overlooking the harbor.

Campings and Hostels

Menorca is an expensive destination and it is quite difficult to find cheap accommodation such as campsites and hostels. This means that the supply of affordable accommodation is low compared to other destinations. Here are two recommendations.
