Deluxe Font Sea

On the coast, between Binisafuller (also known locally as Binisafua) and Binidali, Cap d’en Font is the perfect hideaway for those seeking tranquillity without being far removed from other bigger resorts including Binibèquer (aka Binibeca). Small and sedate, there's little happening here to disturb the peace in Cap d’en Font, so it's just right for those seeking to take it easy and experience a slice of traditional Menorca sea life. The stunning coastline here is complete with rocky coves that have steps built into the rocks to enable a safe climb down to secluded private swimming platforms. It’s a paradise for swimmer and the views are stunning, especially just as the sunsets.  

Cap d'en Font is also home to some of Menorca's most famous underwater caves. Peppering the southern coast with extensive cavern systems, a huge amount of them are still unexplored. For the advanced swimmer, swim through spectacular stalagmites and stalactites in one of the stunning six caves found at the Cap.

When you're not idling away your time at your poolside, head further along the coast…. If your idea of beachside heaven is a secluded cove laced with pristine, silky white sand, knotted pines and clear waters, look no further than Binisafúller. Although you are less than half an hour’s drive away from the airport in Menorca’s capital Mahon, you’d never guess; this really does feel like an idyllic island hideaway.

Away from the better-known beaches further west, this narrow inlet is midway between the small resorts of Binidalí and Binibèquer. Likewise, with Cap d’en Font, you can’t really describe Binisafúller (as a resort at all as there’s nothing here apart from the beach, a couple of traditional, whitewashed villas and a handful of wooden fishing boats bobbing peacefully. The beach itself stretches no more than about 40 yards from one end to the other, shielded to the rear by a dense wood of pines, holly oaks and palm trees. As you let your toes sink into the fine sand sloping down to the water’s edge, all you can see ahead is the sea, a sandbank on the horizon, and the rocks, trees and shrubs sheltering you on either side of the bay. The water is shallow, which makes it perfect for paddling with children.

If you just want to sunbathe or read, accompanied by nothing but the hypnotic whispering of the waves and the odd squawking seagull, this is the ideal place. Amazingly, there is free parking behind this unspoilt spot, and then it’s just a moment’s walk down a short sandy slope and some stone steps.

Being somewhere this far from beach bars, buffets and karaoke clubs does, however, mean that you’ll want to bring your own supplies, particularly if you’re coming with children. If you do suddenly find yourself in need of an emergency sun hat, bucket, spade or nappy, the nearest shops are 10 minutes’ drive along the coast in Binibèquer.

Drive approx. 20 minutes’ drive inland, and you’ll come to Sant Lluís - worth a visit in its own right. A leftover from Menorca’s days as a French stronghold in the 18th century, the village still has a Baroque church, an ethnological museum in a windmill, tantalising local patisseries, and some excellent restaurants.

Closer to the beach at Binisafúller, a five-minute drive along the main road, you’ll see the talayots – Bronze Age megaliths. Don’t expect anything too grand: these are a pile of low, square, rough-hewn boulders and one T-shaped boulder which looks like a Lilliputian out-take from Stonehenge.

For a gentle walk with spectacular scenery, the Camí de Cavalls takes you along the coast east to Binibèquer, or you can follow the footpaths inland to the hamlet of Torrets.

THE REGION

The mellow island of Menorca drums to a slower beat than siblings Mallorca and Ibiza, and therefore perfect if you’re looking for a holiday of rest and relaxation. The easternmost Balearic Island is lined by some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean: long swathes of powder-fine sand give way to rocky calas (bays) lapped by pale blue waters.
