Menorca Holidays Review
The Daily Mail in the UK recently ran an interesting article about Menorca, their comments include:
Think of the Balearic islands as a family: Majorca and Ibiza are the two older sisters who party all night, while Menorca is the little sister who stays in doing her homework.
‘This has always been a quiet island,’ says Lindsay Mullen, who, with Sheelagh Ratliff, owns and runs the Biniarocca Hotel, a ten-minute drive from Mahon airport. Lindsay, an accomplished artist, and Sheelagh, a successful clothes designer, emigrated to Menorca in the Nineties.
Sheelagh was running a B&B when a working farm near St Lluis went up for sale ten years ago. They bought and thoroughly renovated it, and it is now a Relais Chateau-style hotel with 17 bedrooms, a pool set in bougainvillea and palm tree-filled gardens, and a stylish European restaurant.
The Biniarocca’s comforts are bliss, and although it was tempting to stay glued to the grounds, the hotel is a good base from which to explore the island.
Scrupulously clean and well-signposted, Menorca is perfect for driving. A main road bisects the island, leading from the capital Mao to the second largest town, Ciutadella on the west, and roads branch off to the north and south, heading for the coastal coves and beaches.
The island’s biggest sandy beach, three kilometres long and 40m wide, is to the south at Son Bou.
