If you're looking for a villa holiday, Menorca could be the place to go. This self-professed "Island of Pleasant Breeze" is the second largest of the Balearic Islands. Legend has it that the winds that blow across the island modify the personality of the people whose skin they brush. Just one look at an aerial shot, and you'll understand why this is such a popular holiday destination.

As turquoise water meets fine-sanded beaches and rocky coastline, picture yourself relaxing with a good book, gazing out to the horizon and appreciating the Mediterranean view.
Menorca offers a wide variety of entertainment and is perfect for a family getaway or that intimate holiday that you need with your favourite someone. Either way, Menorca is ready to welcome you.

When planning your day trips on Minorca, consider wandering through her capital Mao, better known as Mahon. A town rich with architectural history, it is a wonderful place to while away a day, just appreciating all that surrounds you. Known for their festivals and fiestas, you may find yourself smack in the middle of a midday party. Menorca's capital city offers the beautiful park and gardens of Es Freginal for you to relax, sit down, and take in the colourful flower beds and lush green lawns. Frequently you will be lucky enough to catch a musical performance on the park stage

Whether you choose to stay in a beach resort or out in a rural village, often a Menorca villa is the way to go. There are hundreds to choose from, and you will find that they come in a variety of sizes that can host whole families or just a couple on a weekend excursion. Also, they are often less expensive than a hotel and definitely more cozy and home-like. A villa is essentially a "home away from home." Bring in your bags and relax in a living room, and cook your own meals in the villa’s kitchen.

Menorca villa holidays are available in both beach settings and the more lush and rural settings of the island. For people living in the UK and considering a Minorca villa holiday, two companies serve the island well, James Villas and Meon Villas.

Typical of the Mediterranean climate, May through September bring the hottest temperatures to Menorca and the longest days as well. With 11 full hours of sun during these months, you'll have plenty of time to check out the many wonderful sights that the island has to offer you. But be sure to book early—Menorca is a popular Mediterranean hot spot and, if legend has it right, once the winds hit you, you'll be returning again and again.

With the beauty and serenity that Menorca offers, this island is perfect for anyone who is yearning for some "me" time. Pack your bags and grab a few good books—Menorca is calling your name.
