Good to Know
As you look around 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 intrested in Mahon?
Tour Operators, guides will often use Anglicised place names and lazy spelling. We give you all possible places 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

Best time of the year for Senior Holidays?
Menorca gets very busy mid June to 1st week of September so the 'shoulder seasons' can be ideal if your prefer less hectic,much lower accommodation / flight prices but what about the weather?
Spring time is a lovely time to visit even more so if you like flowers,sunny skies but without opressive heat and quiet.
Mid September to mid October has more heat than spring,but the school holidays are over so beach resorts are much less crowded and the sea has had ALL summer to warm through and is very welcome for bathing fans.
