Northern Menorca 

The marina at Port AddayaThe north of the island is home to Menorca's only golf course (see right) at Son Parc, where you can walk from the green to the beach in a few minutes. There is Port Addaya (pictured) also, a charming and peaceful resort, and also the old fashioned seaside village of Na Macaret and also the lively resort of Arenal d'en Castell 

 

Eastern Menorca 

Harbourside at Mahon PortThe East is a real draw for tourists, thanks to the bustling streets of the capital, Mahon, and the charm of Mahon's Port area with its many dozens of restaurants and stylish shops. Es Castell is another tourist favourite thanks to its waterside village attractions. There are several beaches nearby and plenty to see and do

 

 

South-Eastern Menorca 

Seaside resorts such as Binibeca, Punta Prima and S'Algar are what bring visitors to the south-east of Menorca... Watersports are popular, and of course the lovely beaches

 

Southern Menorca 

Menorca's most-visited and most developed area, very popular with British holidaymakers and for very good reasons. The beaches at Son Bou and Santo Tomas are the biggest and best on the island, while that at Cala en Porter is idyllically pretty and well served

 

Western Menorca 

Ciutadella harbourThe old capital, Ciutadella (pictured), is just one of the many attractions of island west. There are lively and attractive resorts such as Cala en Bosc and Cala Blanca, as well as many lovely beaches - some of them quiet and well off the beaten track - and plenty of visitor attractions
