Holiday Apartments Menorca - Holiday Villas Menorca

Not only is Menorca (also known as Minorca) a well-known destination for superb nightlife and boundless fun in the sun, it is also full of exciting historical attractions where you can see that you’re not the first one to fill its holiday homes. Even the ancients languished luxuriously on Menorca every spare moment that they could!

Menorca was conquered by about every imaginable European group throughout the centuries and millennia, as it provided the perfect conditions for a sea base. Romans, Vandals, Moors and Spanish Catholics have all had their heyday here, leaving magnificent archeological footprints in their respective wakes. Explore these footprints during your Menorca holiday.

Even more impressive, however, is Menorca’s natural splendor. The pastoral farmland partitioned by ancient, low-topped, crumbling stone walls seem to resemble a rugged Scottish landscape more than a Spanish territory, and among the island’s most beautiful natural attractions, Monte Toro is hard to miss. This towering green mountain mixes the austerity of the Pyrenees with the lusciousness of a hot Mediterranean island. Rent a holiday home here and enjoy the fabulous views and spectacular sunsets. Hiking and cycling are big here, and there is a wealth of places where you can rent a bike and join up with a tour to explore the mountain and the surrounding countryside.

While on Menorca, don’t miss the opportunity roll out to the Cales Coves just outside of the city of Mahon. The best thing about these caves is that there are no organized tours, so you can get that same sense of exploration that the first inhabitants of Menorca must have had when they found the caves to be a choice location to bury their dead. You’ll probably end up with a different conclusion, as many travelers do: that the caves are simply spectacular. Back in Mohan a lively, if small nightlife scene awaits you, although there’s plenty of room for mellow relaxation and wistful gazing out into the incredible seascape at sunset from your holiday rental. The Mahon Port is a wonderful place to view the incredible, fleeting change of colors unraveling upon the domelike sky.

Menorca is a great setting for a family vacation, with plenty of family-friendly self catering holiday homes to choose from. For children, things to do on Minorca range from land based beach sports to water parks and sailing (with adult supervision, of course), and adults can play golf, the whole family can take the reins and ride horseback through the splendid island countryside and along the beaches. Of course, this is also a spectacular honeymoon destination, with romantic holiday villas and luxury holiday apartments to celebrate the beginning of married life.
