While Ibiza is famous for its all-day clubs and Mallorca is a known and popular destination for eager walkers from the world over, Menorca has remained relatively untouched by the plagues of mass tourism and development. Though the odd hotel has opened on the island and fine cuisine can be enjoyed everywhere, there are still many pristine beaches and areas where you can sample that deserted island feeling. That is precisely what makes Menorca so charming, and those wanting to unwind and leave the world behind should set sail to this delicate and small gem in the Balearics.
WHERE TO STAY
Original, cosy and luxurious all at once, Biniarroca Hotel remains a firm favourite. Cami Vell 57, Sant Lluis, Menorca (00 34 971 150 059; www.biniarroca.com).
WHERE TO EAT
Make the most of the fresh local lobster caught between Menorca and Mallorca at La Minerva. Moll del Llevant, 87, Mahon, Menorca (00 34 971 351 995).
WHERE TO DRINK
Menorca's bars tend to be local and mellow, but if you are visiting the island between June and September, make sure to drop by Cova d'en Xoroi. Offering cave tours during the day and spectacular ocean views, music begins at sundown and carries on through to dawn. Cala en Porter, Menorca (00 34 971 236; www.covadenxoroi.com).
