apartments in Menorca

If you’ve already explored Mahón and are wondering what else Menorca has to offer, you’re in the right place. This Balearic island, declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, is much more than just beaches. 

Its combination of history, nature, and local culture makes it a complete year-round destination.

In this article, we offer some ideas for planning your day trips from Mahón, where you can comfortably stay at Royal Life Apartments, and easily explore the rest of the island.

1. Enjoy the Unspoiled Coves of the South

Menorca is famous for its turquoise
waters and white-sand beaches, especially along the southern coast.
Some of the most recommended are:

Cala Mitjana: surrounded by pine trees and with easy access from a nearby parking area.

Cala Macarella and Macarelleta: two natural gems connected by a rocky path, very popular in summer.

Son Bou: the island’s longest beach, ideal for walking, swimming, and water sports.


Tip: many of these beaches have no services, so bring water, food, and sun protection.



2. Visit Ciutadella, the Former Capital

At the western end of Menorca lies Ciutadella, a city full of noble charm and character. You can visit it on a day trip from Mahón (about 45 minutes by car), and enjoy:

Wandering through its medieval old town, with narrow streets and grand townhouses.

Visiting Santa Maria Cathedral and Plaça del Born.

Dining at one of the restaurants by the port or in the lively market area.

Ciutadella is also a fantastic place to experience the Sant Joan festivities, celebrated in June with horses, music, and Menorcan tradition.



3. Explore Menorca’s Prehistoric Past

One of the island’s most unique features is its archaeological heritage. The so-called Talayotic culture left numerous megalithic remains scattered across Menorca’s countryside.

Some sites worth visiting:

Naveta des Tudons: one of the oldest monuments in Europe, used as a collective tomb.

Torre d’en Galmés: a well-preserved prehistoric village.

Taulas and Talayots: unique stone structures in the Mediterranean.

This route is perfect for those who enjoy history and outdoor archaeology.



4. Taste the Local Cuisine

Beyond Mahón cheese, Menorcan cuisine has much to offer. While traveling across the island, take the opportunity to try some traditional dishes:

Lobster stew (caldereta de langosta): typical of Fornells, a fishing village in the north.

Oliaigua: a humble but tasty vegetable soup served with bread.

Formatjades and pastissets: typical pastries often enjoyed during holidays and Easter.

In many villages, you’ll also find wineries, farms, or local markets selling artisan products.



5. Follow a Trail on the Camí de Cavalls

The Camí de Cavalls is a historic trail that circles the entire island, stretching 185 km. It can be walked in sections and offers stunning views of the coastal 
landscape, both north and south.

Some easy and recommended routes from Mahón:

Mahón – Es Grau: a peaceful walk that leads to the s'Albufera des Grau Natural Park.

Binibequer – Punta Prima: a coastal route with coves and scenic viewpoints.

Our team at Royal Life can help you plan a section of the Camí de Cavalls tailored to your pace and time.
