Menorca Holidays Guide
While many go to its sister islands for nightlife, Menorca is often seen as a more family friendly holiday destination. In fact holidays in Menorca are often rated one of the most family friendly by top tour operators like Thomas Cook and TUI. Many resorts open between April and October for the summer season but if you fancy a bit of winter sun (although perhaps a little chillier), some hotels do open beyond the summer.
If you're booking for June, July or August, you might want to try booking early to get the best deals, including free child places, or if you can be flexible with your dates, keep an eye out for any last minute deals floating around.
