Weather

The climate is ideal for a restful week or two getaway on holidays to Menorca. The holiday season in Menorca is May to October, and the island gets 315 days of sunshine every year — perfect to escape dreary British weather.

Menorca usually is about 30° Celsius in the summer, but late summer months like August can get even hotter. And the Mediterranean breeze lets you catch up on your tan while being able to take a break from the sun and walk on the sand without getting burned. The temperature is warm enough that you can visit in June or September to have the same pleasant weather without all the riff-raff.

Attractions

Menorca has many different activities that are family-friendly, and there is enough nightlife to entertain adults as well. There are many historical sites in Menorca like navetas, or ancient burial sites; in fact, the naveta Es Tudons is Europe’s oldest building. Boat tours, especially glass bottom boat tours, are proving very popular in Menorca.

You just can’t go on a Menorca holiday and not go to the beaches — be it a tiny cove such as Alcaufar or a sunsoaked paradise such as Sant Tomas, Menorca has some of the finest beaches in all of Europe. For an extra touch to your Menorca holiday, go when the island has a fiesta or one of its three-day festivals with dancing, food, and cultural experiences. Ciutadella’s celebration of Sant Juan is the largest fiesta on the island and thus draws plenty of tourists.
