The island that keeps
its own time.
Protected landscapes, clear water,
old paths and an everyday life still closely
connected to the sea and the land.
Menorca, when the island slows down.
Menorca is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve defined by coves, wetlands, dry stone walls, rural estates and two very different harbour cities. In July and August the island is vivid and social; outside the height of summer, its beaches return to their natural rhythm, the Camí de Cavalls becomes quieter and the villages feel entirely their own again.
Annua offers two established ways into this Menorca, and a third is coming soon.
Our Menorca favourites
Places, rituals and addresses selected for the way they reveal the destination, not simply for being on a list.
MENORCA
Where Ciutadella starts the day
Mercat des Peix. Start at the market, wander through the old town and let lunch decide how long the morning lasts.
MENORCA
Art, with a boat ride included
Hauser & Wirth Menorca.. Take the boat from Mahón to Illa del Rei, where contemporary art, historic architecture and the Mediterranean occupy the same small island. The journey there is almost as good as what waits at the other end.
MENORCA
The south coast by boat
Macarella, Turqueta and the quieter stretches between them are best understood from the sea, before the day fills up.
The island that knows how to take its time
