Gran Villa Cipres is set in 250 acres of Menorcan countryside just 1.5km from the small whitewashed town of Sant Climent and conveniently close to the airport. Dating back to the 13th century, the town has a variety of local shops such as a supermarket, butchers and bakery and a variety of bars and restaurants including the well known ‘Moli de Foc’ which serves authentic local cuisine to locals and visitors alike. The town comes alive in the summer months when jazz concerts take place one of the bars of the town which attract celebrity musicians and jazz lovers worldwide.
Mahon (Maó), just a few kilometres by car, boasts a stunning natural harbour and is surrounded by a colourful collection of old fisherman's houses and a plethora of fine cosmopolitan eateries and café bars. Walk up the ancient steps to the old town with characterful cafes, interesting shops and the colourful food and fish markets.
To their immense credit, the Menorquins have taken great steps to protect their environment. As a result, the island's rugged coastline still offers a huge number of beautiful sandy coves (calas) to explore. The south of the island has lush pine groves, white sandy coves, isolated rocky inlets and busier beaches. The best-known beaches in this area are Binibeca, Son Bou and Punta Prima.
Menorca is an island full of diverse charm, beauty and extremely welcoming inhabitants. Over the centuries, diverse cultural influences have bestowed on the island a distinctive character, evident in its landscape today. Ancient dry stone walls can be seen dividing the surprisingly lush green fields all over the island, stone monuments and burial mounds are plentiful and charming traditional Spanish Fincas can be seen scattered throughout this very pleasant landscape.
Located on the western side of the island is the lovely old port of Ciutadella with its maze of cobbled streets and striking architecture and many plazas and squares. This is such a delightful town, great for walking and people watching, as well as dining al fresco at one of its many fine restaurants and café bars.
For those who enjoy the outdoors, and are keen to explore, why not walk along a section of the Cami de Cavalls, the ancient bridle path that encircles the island and there are also many other lovely well-signposted footpaths and cycle routes.
