Menorca - any tips?

[millimat]

Going next week with young children. Any recommendations gladly accepted

I was about to post the same thread . Except I have teens.

We’re going later this week. I can’t wait, it’s been a very long time coming.

We’ve been before when they were younger and went to one of the water parks which they loved

Plus the bar in the caves (children are welcome there) near Cala'n Porter for a sunset cocktail.

The weather still looks good 🤞

I’m here now, and the weather is perfect.

We’ve been many times before, and my advice would be to hire a car and go and see lots of the island - it’s very easy to drive around as it’s not too big, and has a very good main road from one end to the other.

With young children, the zoo makes a good day trip, and gets good reviews. The glass bottom boat in Mahon (Mao) is also fun for kids. Plus there are apparently 365 beaches to chose from. Es Grau is particularly good for small children as the sea is very shallow for a long way out - it’s unspoilt, with very few English people, although there are lots of locals on the beach.

With older children, there are water parks, go karts tracks, water sports, and at Son Bou there’s an inflatable water assault course.

Ooh thanks. Where are you staying?
Which car hire company have you used?

I don't need to pack a coat do I? There's a bit of rain forecast for Saturday.

We are staying in a lovely villa on the hillside in Son Bou, the views are fantastic.

For car hire, we’ve used Momple , as we needed a larger 7 seater. But usually we use AutosVictoria. Both these companies will meet you in arrivals at the airport and show you to your car, about a 50 yard walk from arrivals.

Forecast for Saturday looks a bit showery , but I’m hoping it’s not too bad, as I haven’t brought a coat!

Take snorkels. My DD's favourite memories are of taking bread to one of the smalle coves and snorkelling and watching the fish coming for the bread.
