Visiting Menorca: Discover Ciutadella
Ciutadella is the former capital of Menorca, a gem filled with historic architecture, charming squares, and grand cobbled streets. The perfect romantic plan is to stroll along the harbor and enjoy the medieval architecture of the town.
Mahón, Capital of Menorca
The current capital of Menorca, Mahón, is a blend of history and Mediterranean charm. It’s undoubtedly a must on your romantic getaway to Menorca. Visit the historic center, explore the Church of Santa María, or take a leisurely walk along the harbor.
Binibeca Vell, a Fisherman’s Village
What truly sets Menorca apart is its charm and beautiful landscapes. The coastal villages are the most inviting part of the island. Enjoy Binibeca Vell, a village full of whitewashed houses where tranquility and silence reign. Just 8 km from the island’s capital, Mahón, you’ll discover this sun-soaked fishing village on the Mediterranean Sea. It’s the perfect destination for a romantic weekend in Menorca.
Romantic Dinner in Es Castell
A must-do during your romantic weekend in Menorca is dining in the coastal village of Es Castell. Originally conquered by British soldiers, this town features English influences such as guillotine windows and the intense red of its facades. Es Castell is a lively town, perfect for a visit if you’re in Menorca for Valentine’s Day. And what better way to experience it than with a romantic dinner in one of its many restaurants, where you can also savor Menorcan cuisine.
What to See in Menorca: Explore Stunning Coves
While it might be too cool for swimming in Menorca’s beautiful beaches and coves, you can still enjoy their idyllic landscapes and colors by taking a walk along the sand or simply admiring the view from a viewpoint.
Some of the best beaches and coves in Menorca, offering turquoise waters and white sand, include Cala Galdana, Cala Mitjana, Cala Turqueta, and Macarella, along with its neighboring Macarelleta. You can also visit beaches like Cavalerría Beach or the pristine and expansive Son Saura Beach. All of them are, without a doubt, excellent natural spots to disconnect. You can’t visit Menorca and miss these coves. They’re a must-see!
A romantic weekend getaway to Menorca is always a great choice, even in winter. However, if you travel from May to October, you can stay at one of these three Vibra Hotels: Vibra Caleta Playa, Vibra Blanc Palace, and Vibra Blanc Cottage. Close to the sea, full of tranquility, and offering beautiful views. Spacious green areas near the pool, with direct access to Sa Caleta beach, just 2 km from Ciutadella.
Menorca offers incredible activities and landscapes to explore year-round. So, don’t hesitate—prepare your romantic weekend escape to the Balearic Islands and enjoy the charm, tranquility, and great climate that they offer.
