Luxury Mahon Holidays

Menorca's waterfront capital

Mahon

Holidays in Mahon will take you to the east coast of Menorca. The capital of the island is home to a wealth of history and culture, as well as being well located for day trips. Whether you’re travelling with children, as a couple or in a small group you will enjoy the thriving atmosphere of the town with opportunities to relax or explore the natural surroundings.

History lovers can admire the 18th Century architecture of the streets, with Gothic cathedrals sitting side by side with former private mansions. If you prefer to relax there are some wonderful beaches nearby. Choose from golden sandy coves with crystal clear waters, or large stretches where you can enjoy the many watersports, rent sun loungers or order tapas, cocktails, and wine from the tavernas which back the beach. Es Grau beach is home to sand dunes where you will find local wildlife and the chance to explore on foot or by quad bike.
