Magnificent Menorca: The Perfect Family Holiday Destination

With its beautiful sandy beaches, stunning scenery and a great selection of Menorca family resorts, there’s no wonder why Spain’s idyllic island is a popular summer getaway for those with little ones. No matter what your clan loves to do, whether it’s making animal friends or just playing in the sand, there really is something for everyone – mum and dad included!

Once you’ve decided to take the kids on a sun-soaked break, choosing the right destination can be difficult, but with this summary of the top fun things to do in magical Menorca, planning your next adventure should be easy.

Hit the Beach

With sun, sand and sea, Menorca has well and truly got you covered wherever you’re staying. A personal favourite spot is Santo Tomas beach. Sheltered behind the sand dunes, this laidback stretch of soft white sand leads into inviting warm waters. The calm coast and watchful lifeguards make this a great place for a beach day if you’ve got young ones. Meanwhile, the sand dunes add an extra source of fun for older kiddies who will be able to surf the slopes all afternoon. Complete with a playground and picnic area, there’s no chance of boredom around here – the whole brood will be sure to love it!

Uncover the Island’s Secret Spots

With the surrounding waters as tranquil as they are inviting, the island is a great place to try your hand at sea kayaking. With safe waters and easy access, this is the perfect place for you all to try something new. Plus, kayaking offers you the chance to discover hidden coves and caves that are otherwise unreachable.

All sessions start with some guided tuition before you take to the water and learn about the fascinating geological formations that shape the beautiful coastline. Usually suitable for swimmers aged 12 and above, this is perfect for older children.

All Aboard

If you’re keen to get out on the water but have children that are a little young for kayaking, then look no further than a coastal boat trip. Some trips take visitors along the coast from Cala Galdana to pretty little coves, and most adventures are ideal for children of all ages. With stops along the way, you’ll also be able to explore the underwater world with some relaxing snorkelling. Drinks and snacks are often provided, too, so there’s no need to worry about keeping everyone full and hydrated.

Where to Stay

As well as an excellent array of activities to keep the kids entertained, you’ll also be spoilt for choice when it comes to Menorca family resorts. With onsite pools, great restaurants and plenty of entertainment, a stay in a private villa at one of the Menorca family resorts is without a doubt the best way to enjoy your holiday.

If you’re looking for fun in the sun as well as a bit of downtime for mum and dad, then this gorgeous Spanish island should be at the top of your list.
