Menorca is one of my favourite places for a chilled beach holiday. I’ve been to Menorca lots of times and we went again this summer for the first time with the kids and had our favourite family summer holiday yet. On the surface, Menorca may seem like the smaller and less popular option to its …

We’ve just returned from a 4-night stay at Barcelo Nura in Biniancollet on the south coast of Menorca so I thought I’d share a quick review and some helpful tips for anyone thinking of visiting. Barcelo Nura is a new hotel in a quiet and beautiful area of Menorca. It’s perfect for an adult getaway, …
Let’s not beat around the bush here, family holidays are expensive. As soon as children are two years old you need to pay full price for their airfare and, unless you all want to squish into a tiny hotel room together, you’ll be forking out extra for accommodation too.

The little island of Menorca is a gloriously wild, green and unspoiled place. It’s …
In my previous post about Menorca, I wrote about how much it surprised me as a place. It was far from the Brits Abroad destination I’d expected it to be. Turns out, Menorca is surprising in a number of other ways, too. Look beneath the surface, and you’ll just keep finding the little quirks that …
My favourite part of my recent Menorca trip wasn’t exploring the labyrinthine coves and hidden beaches. It wasn’t tucking into delicious, salty cuttlefish washed down with a crisp glass of wine.
