Beaches and coves with crystal-clear waters invite you to sunbathe, while water sports like kayaking, jet skiing or sailing appeal to more active visitors.
Winter in Menorca:
From November to April, the island offers a much calmer experience. With an average of 5 hours of sunshine per day and temperatures between 9 and 15 °C, Menorca enjoys pleasant weather even in the off-season. While many tourist venues are closed, the island is ideal for hiking, cycling, horse riding or fishing.
