Buy an exclusive apartment or an authentic villa on the Balearic island of Menorca

Menorca is the most north easterly island of the four Balearic Islands. The name can be translated from Catalan to "the smaller one" - but it is in no way inferior to the "bigger one", Mallorca. Menorca has a beautiful and varied landscape, an extensive cultural offer and a good infrastructure, Menorca is an excellent choice for your real estate purchase, be it a house, apartment, villa or finca. Whether you are looking for a new residence or a holiday home,  our real estate agents on site in Menorca are happy to help you every step of the way with the purchase of your dream home. In our portfolio you will get a first overview of the luxurious villas and apartments that we offer for sale.

An island - two different landscapes: a real estate purchase on Menorca promises variety

With its beautiful beaches and coves of crystal clear water, ideal for swimming and sunbathing, Menorca is an excellent destination for beach lovers. Since Menorca is not as well-known as "the bigger one", there is still plenty of space to relax on the beach in the high season. There are only a few hotels on the island and its nature is protected and largely untouched inviting you to go hiking, cycling or riding to discover the island. Outside the larger cities there are still many whitewashed farms, idyllic villages and picturesque fishing villages. More than twenty years ago, the varied landscape of the island was declared a biosphere reserve, meanwhile almost half of the island is under protection. The landscape in the north of the island is very green and wooded, it is characterized by rugged and partly fjord-like coasts. The south of the island, however, offers a gentle and less rugged landscape. By buying your home in the sun you have the opportunity to enjoy this diverse and beautiful landscape all year round. Our real estate agents at Engel & Völkers Menorca will help you throughout the process of buying your new villa or your new apartment in the charming north or in the enchanting south of Menorca.

The specialties of Menorca sweeten the purchase of an exclusive villa or apartment

In Menorca, there are still some farms that make cheese, so it is not surprising that one of the island's culinary specialties is cheese. The cheese "Queso Mahón", which our real estate agents recommend as a culinary delicacy, is made from raw cow's milk. The cheese is offered in different maturity levels and thus offers the right variant for every taste. Awarded the "Denominación de Origen" quality seal, its quality is regularly monitored. Do you like desserts? Then you should try the Spanish ice cream brand "La Menorquina", which was developed in the city of Alaior. The capital Mahón is located at the eastern end of the island and offers its 28,000 inhabitants everything their heart desires. The many events and lively festivals create a special cosmopolitan atmosphere. You can experience this special flair by buying your villa or your apartment and quickly be a part of the action. You want to buy a property in the attractive island capital? Here you will find a selection of properties that we currently offer for sale in Mahón.

Become part of the tradition of Menorca with the purchase of a property

Ciutadella, the largest city in Menorca, is located opposite Mahón in the west of the island. The city is considered the keeper of the island traditions. As the new residential areas were built on the outskirts of the city, the town center still enjoys a medieval atmosphere. In the center of the picturesque old town is the Gothic cathedral of Santa Maria de Ciutadella, which dates back to the 14th century. Today it houses, among other things, the Museum Museu Diocesà de Menorca. The fish and meat market on Plaça de la Llibertat ensures culinary well-being. Whether as a new residence, or for bridging a cold winter as a holiday residence, the purchase of a property in Menorca is highly recommended.
