Budgeting? Self Catering tips on Menorca

Menorca's Beach Resorts have no histrorical towns so are self contained and surrounded by attractive undeveloped countryside and farmlands. The furthest Resort from Airport is 1 hour ( door to door ) so even with youngsters , you have the whole Island to choose from. West coast Resorts tend to be flat and have much smaller beaches. Beaches have soft sand with shallow sandy bottoms that slope gently. There are NO Hotel Resorts ( eg Hotels with extensive grounds with lots all their own shops/facilities on a private site ) .

Family Friendly What is fact is that Menorca is a very child friendly holiday destination and children are safe, welcomed with a smile in Bars and Restaurants all over the Menorca. None of Menorca's resorts has any loud neon bars, or beach side bars with drunken '20 somethings' you have to 'explain away' to the kids or worry if Teenagers wander off. In the beachside Resorts most loud activities that could disturb youngsters sleep have to finish at 11pm by law.

Airport Resort Transfers

with small children

If a Transfer is not included in your Holiday or you don't fancy the potential long waits while other bundled flights passengers arrive, or multiple hotel drop offs consider a Taxi / private Transfer. West coast resorts are often best via a Transfer rather than Taxi due to costs - taxi circa 65-75 Eur one way AND max. of 4 people.

  • Airport Taxis - you cannot pre-book child seats ( so you will have to bring your own ). By law children MUST have correct seating. Babies / Toddlers are illegal ( police fines ) if sat on a lap!

  • Airport Buses don't run to any Beach Resorts ( change required at Mahon main bus station )

Tip - despite the apparent many offers online there are only three licensed companies who actually provide the transfer service on Menorca, so ensure you know who you are booking with before paying!

Advice

As you look around on web , guide books you might well get confused by place names: is Calan Porter the same as Cala D'en Porter, where is this placed called Mao, i'm looking for Mahon?

Tour Operators, guides will often use Anglicised place names and lazy spelling. We give you all possible location names so you can find them locally. So Mao is correct, so is Mahon - they are the same place. Also some resorts merge one into another eg Binibeca / Cala Torret, Cala n Forcat / Cala en Brut / Cala en Blanes / Los Delfines
