This combination is ideal for a family holiday and in Menorca a holiday generally consists of lazing on the beach getting an enviable tan, enjoying delicious meals, romantic walks along the scenic coast and shopping, of course. The tranquility that prevails in Menorca is another reason why it's popular with travelers looking for a relaxing break with most visitors enjoying an idyllic getaway on secluded shores or enjoying the glorious family friendly beaches of Arenal d’en Castell, Cala’n Bosch and Cala Galdana which are highly recommended. Moreover, Menorca is overflowing with centuries of cultural diversity with cities like Ciutadella and Mahon, the capital of Menorca which is rich in history, reflecting the influence of British occupation. Mahon also introduced Mayonnaise to the world and it’s offered with almost all dishes in Menorca.  

All of the resorts in Menorca are family oriented, with some more lively, offering a wider range of facilities. So if you are accompanied by fun loving teens, make sure you base your family in or near Cala en Porter which is offers more entertainment for teens.   Menorca is one of the most tranquil amongst the Balearic Islands, but holiday accommodations are still plentiful offering a varied choice to suit different budgets and requirements.
