The Menorca region
Menorca is probably the most relaxed and peaceful of the Balearic Islands. It has a chequered history of Moorish, British and French occupation, largely due to its strategic position, with the deepest harbour in the Mediterranean at Mahon, which was developed as the British capital in the 18th century. Menorca is the only place in Spain to have sash-windows, and unusual in its dry-stone walling. Mahon has Spain's oldest (and extremely beautiful) opera house, based on La Scala, Milan.
There are many large ruined castles and military bases, including the massive 19th centry Spanish base, La Mola, and the smaller, British, Fort Marlborough. And there is a house where Nelson allegedly lived with Emma Hamilton!
At the other end of the island is the old Moorish-Spanish capital of Ciutadella. Various interesting villages are scattered around the island, much of which is protected biosphere, and has a fascinating collection of prehistoric remains. The coastline contains some of the most glorious beaches in the Mediterranean, several of which are quite unspoiled.
Binibeca area
Villa Margarita is located in Binibèquer Nou in SE Menorca, an area of 3- and 4-bedroomed villas - a couple of hundred yards up a gentle hill from the sea - with its lovely sandy beach, diving centre, rocky coves, supermarket and a wide range of bars and restaurants. The are public tennis courts immediately to the rear of the villa. The local area is also excellent walking and cycling country.
Binibèquer Nou is about 15/20 minutes driving time from the island capital, Mahon, or Mao, which has several excellent restaurants, bars and a casino, especially around the fine harbour - a centre of much yachting activity. The small town of St Lluis, is about 10 minutes away, with its array of bars, restaurants and shops. Just north of St Lluis is a riding centre (horse-riding being a major island activity) and a flying club.
There is an 18-hole golf course in the middle of the island (about 15 miles away) which is easily accessible.
How to get there
The villa is about 12km from Mahon Airport. All-year flights from the UK are provided by Monarch, flying from Gatwick, Luton, Manchester and Birmingham and Air Berlin, flying from Gatwick.
Summer flights from a wide range of UK airports are provided by EasyJet, Jet 2 and Thomson. Car ferries from Barcelona sail to Mahon and Ciutadella.
A range of carhire firms are located at the airport. We tend to use the local firm Ownerscars.com, but Hertz, Avis and Europcar are also there. In the summer, it is important to book a car as far as possible in advance.
