Hotels near Menorca Airport - MAH, Mahón

We know Binibeca quite well and like the informal relaxed feel of the place. There are one or two good restaurants and a couple of small shops. There is a very good supermarket for self-catering visitors. There isn't a sandy beach in the village itself but there are areas accessible for swimming. Beware the jellyfish though - during our stay in September we saw a lot, unfortunately.

I had absolutely amazing, relaxing stay in here. It is true that the hotel is a bit isolated, but one should know this before booking a stay here. For me, this was perfect, as I was seeking for nice relaxing stay at hotel and chilling on the beach, which was just 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel. The animation team is coming with plenty of activities, so even at the hotel you can not get bored. It was perfectly relaxing time at pool and beach. The hotel is well maintained and is really clean, the restaurant is beautiful with an amazing food, I did not find a single thing to complain about. I loved it and I would highly, highly recommend!

we may have been out of season, but all along the harbour there were plenty of shops and restaurants, that never seemed to open or would only open for a few hours and then shut for the rest of the week. we should have gone to Es Castell, nice little harbour. Town is a lovely walk along the harbour and then take the lift up otherwise its a long hike up the steps or slopes. Town is limited in things to do. the markets are nice and interesting, for a bit, and you can only drink so much coffee, beer or Gin! you could complete in a day. the bus station is good and easy to use once you find it!

Sant Lluis is the district, the house we stayed at is in Son Gaixo which is a small residential area overlooking the sea. The nearest beach is Punta Prima ten minutes from where we were to the east. which is crowded with all inclusive brits who have clearly been eating too many cakes. It has music playing bars for those who like it lively. To the west of Gaixo are Binincolla and Binibequer which are much quieter and prettier. There is a beach between the two which seems not to attract the wrist band wearing hotel crowd. There are biciyle trails surrounding the towns of the Sant Lluis area which are also walkable as footpaths. There are signs and information boards up about routes at intervals. There are maps and trail books available online and in Mao. there is an Eroski supermarket in Sant Lluis and Mercadona in Mao. Mercadona do deliver to the area.

The town is gorgeous. Loved walking round the crazy little streets and going for little swims in the nearby coves. There are some nice bars and restaurants (the best was bambü where they are so lovely with great food and an amazing view of the sunset. Make sure you book in advance) The town is a bit cut off and menorca is a hard place to get a taxi sometimes, so rent a car or grab the bus to Mahon (or mao as it’s called on the timetables) and you can get cheap busses anywhere from there. We discovered this a bit late in the holiday, but still enjoyed every day all the same. Just got home today and missing it already.

Mahon is a lovely island and the people are lovely and very friendly and helpful. The town is full of streets going off in different directions for travellers to explore. It is a very pretty town with lots of different shops to enjoy and buy lovely items to bring back to family and friends.
