Menorca is much more than crystal-clear coves and days spent on the beach. The island is also home to charming towns, unique landscapes and fascinating places that reveal its Mediterranean character. If you’re planning your holiday, these three spots definitely deserve a place on your itinerary.

Ciutadella, history and Mediterranean charm

On the western side of Menorca, Ciutadella is one of the island’s must-see destinations. Wander through the streets of its historic centre to discover lively squares, elegant buildings and charming corners before making your way down to its picturesque harbour, the perfect place to soak up the city’s Mediterranean atmosphere.

If you’re staying at BLUESEA Los Lentiscos, in Cala en Blanes, Ciutadella is a great choice for combining your beach days with a little culture and local gastronomy.

Punta Nati Lighthouse, Menorca at its wildest

Just a few kilometres from Ciutadella, Punta Nati Lighthouse reveals a very different side of Menorca. Its rocky, almost vegetation-free landscape, crossed by traditional dry-stone walls, makes this stretch of coastline particularly striking towards the end of the day.

From BLUESEA Los Lentiscos, you can easily combine a day exploring Ciutadella and its surroundings with a visit to this unique corner of north-west Menorca.

Binibeca, whitewashed houses and narrow streets

In south-east Menorca, Binibeca is known for its whitewashed houses and narrow streets, creating one of the island’s most recognisable scenes. Take your time exploring the area before heading towards the coast for a different perspective on Menorca.

And if you want to keep exploring the island, BLUESEA Playa Azul, in Cala en Porter, and BLUESEA Marina Parc, in Arenal d’en Castell, are two great bases for combining beach time and relaxation with day trips around Menorca.

Ciutadella, Punta Nati and Binibeca reveal three very different sides of an island that is well worth exploring beyond its beaches.
