Menorca, Spain

Menorca is one of Spain’s Balearic islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Traditionally more low-key than its neighbors, Mallorca and Ibiza, it’s known for its endless beaches, from miles-long sandy crescents to rocky, turquoise-watered bays. Menorca offers a coastline full of coves and paradisiacal beaches, a stimulating cultural heritage and a unique gastronomy with products from the island’s land and sea. The capital, Mahon, is on a bluff overlooking a large harbor, with Georgian mansions and a church with 13th-century roots.

This laid-back hotel just off Cala’n Bosch Beach is 18 minutes’ walk from the Lighthouse of Artrutx and 1 km from the Me-24 motorway.

The airy rooms offer free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and minifridges, plus tea and coffeemaking facilities, and microwaves. The 1- and 2-bedroom apartments add living rooms and kitchens. All have balconies or terraces; some provide Mediterranean Sea views.

There’s an outdoor pool with sea views, and a terrace that has sunloungers. Other amenities include a low-key restaurant, a poolside bar and direct beach access.
