Located in the northeast of the Balearic Islands, the island of Menorca is only 50 by 16 kilometres in size, yet offers ample to see and do during a Menorca luxury yacht charter. Family-friendly and offering more spectacular vistas than you can shake a camera at, this tiny island is favoured by nature lovers, water sports enthusiasts, and culture enthusiasts in equal measure.
A private crewed Menorca yacht charter brings you to a landscape dotted with picturesque fishing villages and whitewashed farms. Almost half of the island is a nature reserve, a hotspot for a wide variety of insects and birds. Blue sargatanas lizards dart over hot rocks and through dry grass while birdsong fills the air. Menorca’s coastline is famed for its fabulous beaches, which are lapped by the azure blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. However, the best are tucked away in secluded coves – wild, wide, and windswept Cala Macarella, Son Saura, and Cala Pregonda are best accessed on your private Menorca luxury yacht charter.
Menorca’s southern beaches are dusted with white sand, while the beaches on the west are dotted with jagged rocks. The northern region of the island boasts dark sand and strong winds. This makes it a favoured spot with surfers, particularly around the picturesque village of Fornells. The port city of Ciutadella has retained its Medieval charm. Striking churches and palaces, picturesque harbours, and narrow, romantic side streets help to remind visitors of the island’s rich history and are a must-visit. If you charter in Menorca during the month of June, then don’t miss the colourful fiesta of Sant Joan, held every June in Ciutadella, offering multiple days of celebrations filled with local food, drink, and vibrant entertainment. It’s in the metropolis Mahón that you’ll find modern Menorca.
