Holiday Villas in Binibeca 2017

The coastline between Binibeca and the next town along, Punta Prima offers lots of little coves to explore - great for snorkelling. The beach at Binibeca is well equipped with sunbeds and parasols, kayaks and pedalos, and also has a great beach bar on the water’s edge. If you‘ve had enough sun, head for the shady picnic area behind the beach. Across the road there is a children’s playground and you can also hire a bike here by the beach. Cala Torret, a pedestrianised development of low rise apartments is about 500 metres from the beach at Binibeca. It’s a lively holiday resort with a small supermarket if you need a few essentials for your villa, restaurants and some great little bars as well as a diving centre. Up the hill behind Cala Torret, you will find Binibeca Nou, where there are - somewhat unexpectedly - some public tennis courts hidden amongst the privately owned villas.

Binibeca

Due to Binibeca’s location on the south east coast of Menorca your villa gives you easy access to several interesting towns and villages, such as Sant Lluis.

Founded by the French in 1761 during their occupation of Menorca, Sant Lluis was built around the large whitewashed church dedicated to Louis IX. Today the town is dominated by Es Moli de Dalt windmill, fully restored and open to the public. This fast growing town has a good selection of shops and places to eat and drink, and some of the top restaurants in Menorca are on the outskirts.

You are also close to Menorca’s capital, Mahon which is well worth a day trip to the east coast of the island. Until 1721 Ciutadella was the capital, but the British, who were in charge at the time, moved it to Mahon that year to take advantage of one of the deepest natural harbours in the world. Mahon, known locally as Mao, is a lively city rich in history and culture, with a splendid Gothic church. If you have time, visit the 18th-century gin distillery, or you might prefer to browse round interesting independent shops selling leather and pottery as well as the stylish boutiques, before sampling the highly recommended cakes and ice cream. Mahon is well known for its classy nightlife and restaurants particularly in the waterfront bars and clubs of the harbour.

This is lovely countryside for walking, horse riding and mountain biking, and there are many paths and trails to follow. Renovation of the ancient Cami de Cavalls - the bridle path was completed in 2011 and it's now possible to walk, cycle or ride the 186 kms around the whole island in manageable sections. There are clear easy to follow paths through spectacular scenery leading to virgin beaches and secret caves perfect for a refreshing dip, so take your cossie and towel (although for some of them is no cossie is required…) You can take the road-train to Punta Prima, and join the Cami de Cavalls from there.
