Ancient History

Tourists who enjoy their strange facts will love visiting the Naveta d’Es Tudons just outside Ciutadella on the west side of the island. Eroded stones piled on top of each other in ruins make what is the oldest building without a roof in Europe. Kids will love this place just as much as inquisitive adults, as they’ll be able to explore the megalithic walls and travel back in time. 

Size Does Matter

While we’re on the topic of records, we might as well turn our attention to the beautiful harbour of Mahon. This naturally formed bay is not only a stunning setting for an evening walk or pre-dinner drink, but it’s known for being the second-largest natural harbour in the world. A grand 5km in length, this is a great place to take the family for a post-breakfast stroll or to spend an afternoon browsing the local shops. Kids will also love checking out the boats.

Peaceful Privacy

Despite being a popular holiday destination for all, from couples to families, this beautiful island is still largely unpopulated. Cities and beaches are surrounded by picture-perfect countryside and natural landscape that is sure to entice even the least active of people.

For families who like to explore, this is a dream location. No matter the season, visitors can take their pick from horse riding and cycling to just some light walking. With so much empty space, it really is anyone’s place to discover.

One for the Wanderers

Since the island is small, there is a wonderful coastal path network that runs around the entire circumference. Choose from the 20 stages that make up the network and get treated to some of the best views in Menorca.
