Menorca - The Least Commercial of The Balearics
Menora has done the best job of preserving the striking natural beauty for which the archipelago is known. Life on Menorca is a stark contrast to the wild party scene that dominates Ibiza and the shopping mania that consumes Majorca. Though it caters well for the burgeoning tourist industry, the ‘jewel of the Balearics’ has retained much of its virgin landscape and traditional Spanish heritage and is more suited to a laid back, nature-loving crowd or family groups than the young and restless party lovers that flock to neighbouring islands.

Menorca’s fabulous coastline has a greater number of beaches than Ibiza, Majorca and Formentera put together, and while it is justifiably known as an island of beautiful beaches, this is far from all it has to offer. In addition to its spectacular coast, Menorca encompasses some of the most important environmental areas in the Balearic region. The north coast is a wild, pine-permeated region of largely untouched landscape, indented by several exquisite and isolated coves. The S’Albufera wetlands reserve is among the richest ecosystems on the island; it is made up of a series of dunes, marshes, lagoons and pine groves, and harbours scores of seabirds, migratory birds, flora and fauna.
