Binibeca is one of the most picturesque places on the island

Located on the south‑east coast of Menorca, Binibeca (also known as Binibèquer Vell) delights visitors with its whitewashed houses, winding alleys, and relaxed Mediterranean pace. Just around 8 km from Mahón, it’s an easy half‑day or day trip from your base at Apartamentos Royal Life

1. Why Visit Binibeca?

Designed in the 1960s‑70s to evoke the charm of a traditional fishing village, Binibeca’s uniform architecture—white houses with wooden balconies, narrow cobblestone lanes—creates a striking visual atmosphere.

It may have been newer than most historic villages, but the effect is authentic and immensely photogenic.

2. What to See & Do

Wander the labyrinth of alleys: Explore the shaded lanes, stop by the little church or enjoy views from the harbour.

Relax at the beach: Binibeca Beach (Playa de Binibèquer) and small coves around Cala Torret offer clear waters and tranquil shores. 

Enjoy local food: Try a seaside lunch, fresh seafood or simply an ice‑cream while watching boats bob by in the fishing harbour.

Capture the light: Especially near sunset, the white houses glow golden—perfect for photography enthusiasts.
