The Island Of Menorca

The island of Menorca is very compact, just 30 miles long and 12 miles wide, so you will be able to explore as much or as little of it as you like. Without doubt, one of the most picturesque ways to see the island is by the Cami de Cavalls, a path that encircles the whole island, which you can enjoy either by bike, foot or even horse trek.

Mount Toro in the centre of the island is the highest point in Menorca, offering 360 panoramic views of this beautiful landscape. It is also the home to a delightful Renaissance church, steeped in local legend.

There are lots of fantastic activities to try in Menorca including tennis, horse riding, golf, squash and bowling. So, if you like more to your holiday than simply lazing about in the sun, reading your book, this will be an ideal destination for you. Mind you, it is still one of the best places in the whole world to lie on a beach, soak up the sun and read your book.

Holiday villa in Cala Galdana Menorca

Our Cala Galdana resort is tucked away in one of the island's most beautiful coves, surrounded by fragrant and peaceful pine tree woodland and protected by stunning cliffs on either side. The gentle white sand beach eases into a clear turquoise sea, making it one of the warmest and safest places to enjoy safe swimming and exhilarating watersports.

As well as having its own divine beach, Cala Galdana is also a wonderful starting point from which to explore the surrounding coastline. The nearby beaches include the beautiful and more secluded sandy coves of Son Bou, Cala N' Porter and the Marcarealla bay. Some of these involve climbing down stone steps carved directly out of the cliffs so may not be suitable for people with young children or disabilities.

Booking one of our quality, contemporary holiday villas in this Menorca resort is one of the best ways to ensure a getaway you will love. The resort itself offers all the facilities you could wish for including fabulous restaurants selling delicious international dishes, play areas for children, a disco and some useful shops.

Villa holidays in Ciudadella

Villa Parade has a number of quality holiday villas in the neighbouring old town of Ciutadella. Originally the capital of the island, this winding, ancient town has a strong Catalan flavour, with the easy going, relaxed way of life the Spanish are famous for. The cobbled streets are lined with great shops selling extremely high quality leatherware and fabulous shoes.

If you fancy taking in some culture, Ciutadella's Cathedral is an imposingly beautiful building, originally built as a mosque and testament to this island's rich history. There is also an exhibiting gallery in the tower of the 17thCentury Castell Saint Nicolas, overlooking the town. The residents of Menorca are famous for their love of horses, so to catch some out of the ordinary live entertainment, why not coincide your visit with the town's July fiesta, which includes horse riding and jousting?

When it comes to fine food, the wonderful restaurants of Ciutadella are a short journey from Cala Galdana and well worth the journey. Many are built directly into the rock face overlooking the sea and specialise in sensational seafood and traditional tapas. These long, savoured meals often turn into relaxing evenings in one of the late night bars.
