Set in spectacular gardens much visited by coach tours and overlooking the wide sandy bay of Tirant which even in high season is relatively tranquil and unspoilt. The sea is shallow and ideal for paddling. Around the bay are marshes and headlands which make up part of the UNESCO bioreserve of which Menorca is duly proud. In the immediate vicinity are ruins dating back from the British occupation of the island in the 17th century through to neolithic stone monuments. Fornells is 2 Km away and is well worth a visit to see this popular harbour and tower and perhaps enjoy a meal and a drink.
The island is only approx 60 Km from end to end and should you have access to a car, is easily explored. Recommended visits are to Mahon the capital and Ciutadella the old capital of the island, both of which display interesting harbours and unique architecture.
Don't forget to explore inland which offers a more tranquil setting with villages set in green fields surrounded by stone walls.
