Fornells:
A 5 minute drive away is the picturesque fishing village of Fornells. Famous for food (seafood in particular), Fornells provides an excellent selection of restaurants and bars, non-tourist shops, a market, banks and even a children playground which has swings, a slide etc. The King of Spain is said to eat here when holidaying on Menorca. The nearest golf course at Son Parc is just 10 minutes drive.
Mahon:
A 20 minute drive away is Mahon, the capital of Menorca since 1721. It has strategic importance being one of the largest natural harbours in the world.
The port itself is relaxing by day and buzzing by night, with many bars and restaurants.
With narrow streets, pleasant shady squares with welcoming pavement cafes and shopping that ranges from the twice weekly market to the expensive designer boutiques, Mahon is a must on every visit to Menorca. As too is Ciutadella the former capital which is an historical magical port.
The apartment is unique in the resort as it benefits from two balconies (both with sea views) and also you access the apartment at ground level, but it is elevated inside, as our neighbour is built into the rock below. As a result the entry provides easy access with children and the elderly alike, but as you are at first floor level once inside, it provides privacy, stunning views, and it is safer, as the children cannot just run down the garden to the pool from the back of the apartment.
Other Activities:
snorkeling, hiking, (potholing and cricket also available on the island)
