| The Island | | Menorca is the second largest of the Balearic Islands and possesses a charm that is unique.
Menorca has more beaches than the neighbouring islands of Mallorca and Ibiza combined. Many of them - even in the height of summer - are quiet and comparatively uncrowded and range from long and sandy to small and intimate, flanked with sand dunes, green and fragrant pine forests and crystal clear turquoise water.
Between the capital city of Mahon - a Georgian gem - and the former Moorish capital of Ciutadella - lies a spectacular landscape of rolling green hills - dry stone walls - white rustic villages - winding lanes - volcanic moonscapes - traditional fishing ports and market towns - offering a wealth of diversity as photographic locations.
On average Menorca has 315 sunny days per year and an average temperature of 20°C. | |  | The big blue skies and unpolluted atmosphere provide exceptional light quality from sunrise to sunset.
Designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Menorca is truly unspoiled. |
