Why Go Kayaking in Menorca

Menorca is an island to explore not only by land... but also by sea. One of the best ways to discover its untouched coastline is by kayak, paddling past cliffs, sea caves, and secret coves only accessible from the water.

If you're staying in the center of Mahón — such as at Royal Life Apartments — you can easily plan a kayaking adventure from several points around the island, both on the north and south coasts.
