An important aspect of the Menorcan climate is the wind, predominantly the tramontana from the north, which is usually persistent, cold, dry and strong.

What to do in Menorca?

Given Menorca's small size, it's easy to rent a boat with a skipper to explore both the coastline and the Mediterranean Sea. Choosing from a range of boats — whether a luxurious yacht or family-friendly catamaran — at a range of prices, you can plot an itinerary anywhere between 1 day to more than a month. 

Boat rental for a week will be enough time to fully explore the island and get a taste of the region's famed cuisine. Many experienced sailors even enjoy island-hopping from Menorca to Mallorca, just 30 miles on the beautiful Mediterranean Sea.

Although you can start from any one of Menorca's fine ports and well-serviced marinas, most visitors will choose to depart from the capital, Mahon, because of its transport links on arrival and departure. A famed destination in its own right, Mahon is a great hub with popular beaches. 

Enjoy your sailing experience going past the charming fishing village of Binibequer, Cala Galdana and Ciutadella, be sure to take in the crystalline views of Cala Turqueta, one of the island's most picture-perfect beaches. From here stop at Cala Morell, Fornells and Es Grau, before coming full-circle with a final stop in Mahon. A catamaran tour in Menorca made yours! You have the freedom to choose where to go and when. 

One of the greatest treasures of Menorca is undoubtedly its beaches and beautifulcoves. The only way to describe the coves is to compare the crystal clear waters with those of the Caribbean. A bareboat yacht charter in Menorca is the best way to find the most hidden beaches. 

Caves of clay and mud such as Cala Pilar, are magical places where you can take a mud bath and cleanse your skin with the natural remedies of this special clay. 

Another cove, Cala Maceralla is situated next to its sister Macarelleta. As this beach is such a well desired location, it is advised to get up early to secure a good spot. Though if you have your own boat rental in Menorca, there’s no need to reserve a spot on the crowded beach. Enjoy the view from your private sunbathing spot away from the masses.

After an excursion to the lighthouse of Cavalleria located a few kilometres away, you might fancy a swim in the turquoise waters of Cala Pregonda. In Cala Pregonda, there are small islands, seagulls and, above all, the cool breeze that adds to the state of total tranquillity. 

Talaier is a cove with just a small presence of tourists. It is located between two beaches known as Son Saura and Cala Turqueta. Arriving from the first beach is simple, although the path can be somewhat overwhelming in the hottest hours of the day, so be sure to go in the cooler morning or after midday. The walk is worth it as you will see a tiny cove appear and feel rewarded by your precious discovery.

The cuisine of Menorca will please anyone's palette. Here, you will find the delicious cheese and meat. Inspirations come from Islamic, French, medieval and Catalan origin which are shown in the success of this gastronomy. In terms of liqueurs, Gin Xoriguer is one of the most characteristic liqueurs of the island with which it prepares another of its essential summer drinks, the Ointment.
