Recommendations for menorca holiday

[1newname]

I'd like somewhere in menorca that's not too touristy but with a bit of life, beautiful beaches and a nice hotel but not ridiculously expensive. Thanks!

Take a look at Punta Prima in Menorca (maybe a little too quiet in the evening though depending what you're looking for)

Punta Prima is nice , the beach isn’t all that though, although all of Menorca is quite rocky and rugged so there’s not much in the way of endless sandy beaches. But you can walk for ages along the front above the coves, with lovely views.

Es Castell, Cala Fonts fishing harbour is gorgeous of an evening. From memory, there is a hotel close by and Mahon is up the road. Binibeca has a lovely beach and is very pretty. Cala Galdana at the other end of the island has a lovely beach. I’d always recommend a car to explore the beaches.

I went to Cala'N Bosch last year, lovely restaurants and not a bad beach but nothing really in the way of entertainment at night apart from maybe hotels. Thought I would love Menorca, it is very relaxing, but just not for me, I am definitely more an Ibiza girl! 😀 Really good for families with young kids though as everything seems to stop about 11. Some lovely adult only hotels around the harbour area though.

Hmm, I'm starting to worry we might get bored? I don't want party capital but also would like a bit of life

Arenal d’en Castell has a few nice restaurants, lovey beach. Not lots of hotels but we had an air BnB. Got a car and then explored other parts of the island.

I’d probably look at Ciutadella, or somewhere just outside it. For me it has the nicest balance on Menorca, a bit of life in the evening, pretty old streets, good food, but it still feels much less package holiday than some of the resort areas. We found it really easy from there to reach some of the lovelier coves too. If you want even quieter, Es Castell also seems like a good shout.
