WHICH ISLAND IS FOR YOU?

MENORCA

WHY GO?

It’s got the best bits of Spain’s islands in one perfectly sized package. Beaches are long and sandy, or quiet and cove-like. Towns are cool but compact, with stylish shopping. The boutique hotel scene is so good you could check in and never leave. For a low-key vibe, Menorca is a winner.

WHAT TO SEE & DO

Ciutadella and Mahon are the two main cities, both with a pretty patchwork of cobbled streets, central squares, churches and cafes. Buy handmade leather ‘Avarca’ sandals – cheap here, pricey in the UK. Hop on a classic sail boat to reach the northern beaches others cannot. Adamastaor 1967 includes a skipper (adamastor1967.com).

WHERE TO EAT & DRINK

You can’t move for great restaurants here, so we’re rating those with unique views, too. On the Ciutadella’s harbour front, S’Amarador – its lobster paella is a treat. Or go for cocktails at Cova d’En Xoroi, a cliff-side cave that’s been transformed into a chic bar.
