Do you want to discover Menorca but only have 4 days? Don't worry! This wonderful Balearic island has a lot to offer, and with a well-organized route, you can enjoy its beaches, culture and landscapes. In this article we propose a complete route to discover Menorca in 4 days, perfect for you to live a unique experience.

Day 1: Discovering the essence of Mahón and its surroundings

📍 Mahon

The first day will be dedicated to Mahón (Maó), the capital of Menorca. We recommend you start by exploring its beautiful natural harbour, considered one of the largest in the world. Stroll through its cobbled streets, visit the Claustro del Carmen Market to taste local products and visit the Menorca Museum to learn about the history of the island.

Not to be missed: If you are passionate about nature, just outside Mahón you will find the S'Albufera des Grau Natural Park , a protected area ideal for hiking or bird watching. Perfect for a first contact with the nature of Menorca!

Afternoon: If you prefer to end the day on a beach, we suggest visiting Cala Mesquida , a cove near Mahón, where you can relax and enjoy a spectacular sunset.

Day 2: The virgin coves of the south

📍 Cala Macarella and Macarelleta
It's time to dive into some of the best beaches in Menorca . Head south and visit the famous Cala Macarella and Cala Macarelleta , two jewels of the Mediterranean with turquoise waters and white sands.

💡 Tip : Arriving early will ensure you get a good spot and more peace and quiet. If you visit during high season, we suggest walking or using the shuttle bus service, as access by car may be limited.

Afternoon in Cala Galdana
In the afternoon, relax at the larger and more accessible Cala Galdana , where you can also enjoy water sports or eat at one of the nearby restaurants. If you like sailing, you can rent a sailboat and tour the coast.

Afternoon in Punta Nati
To end the day, visit the Punta Nati Lighthouse and marvel at the spectacular sunset from this strategic point in the northwest of the island. The views of the sea and the horizon will leave you speechless.

Day 4: Sailing through the northern coves

📍 Boat excursion from Fornells
The last day is ideal for a more active experience. We suggest you book an excursion with Menorca Sea Experience and sail along the most unspoilt beaches in the north of the island, such as Cala Pregonda or Cala Pilar , with crystal-clear waters and unique landscapes.

Afternoon in Fornells
End the afternoon strolling through Fornells , a beautiful fishing village known for its lobster stew . If you love seafood, this is your chance to enjoy one of the most typical dishes of Menorca.

Tips for enjoying Menorca out of season

If you decide to visit Menorca in the autumn or spring months, you should bear in mind that some beaches will be less crowded, which is ideal if you are looking for peace and quiet. However, the weather can be a bit more changeable, so we suggest you bring appropriate clothing for possible rain. Water activities, such as boat rentals or snorkelling, are still possible, although it is always advisable to check the weather forecast.

When is the best time to visit Menorca?

Menorca can be enjoyed all year round, but the ideal season is between May and September , when the weather is warm and perfect for water activities. If you are looking for peace and quiet, the months of June and September are the most recommended, as you will find fewer tourists, but you will still be able to enjoy the good weather.
