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.

Low cost and charter airlines fly from across the UK to Mahon, Menorca's airport, with more during the summer. The best way to get around Menorca is by hiring a car which will give you much more freedom to explore some of the smaller towns and beaches. If you plan on enjoying just a "fly and flop" holiday, you can pre-book a coach shuttle service from the airport to your hotel, which is the easiest and affordable way to get to your hotel without a car.
There are public bus services on the island, and depending on the route and day, depends on how frequent they are. Saturdays and Sundays will usually be a reduced service so bear it in mind if you’re planning to get around by bus.
