Villanovo has a fabulous, handpicked selection of luxury villas in Menorca for you to browse and find your ideal holiday villa. Options are available for both catered and self-catering accommodation, as well as a third option, whereby you can contract a private chef for a one-off occasion. Whether you're looking for something with a sleek contemporary design or a more rustic aesthetic, a private pool, luxuriant garden, sea view (direct sea access) or even a tennis court, our carefully chosen collection of luxury properties is sure to meet your needs.
Villanovo's fantastic range of luxury villas can be found in all the most sought-after places throughout the island: from the main towns of the capital Mahon and Ciutadella, the shimmering marinas of the likes of Fornells, to more secluded locations closer to the gorgeous small coves located on the western part of the island, such as the picturesque Cala Turqueta and the crystalline waters of the beautiful Cala'n Bosch.
At Villanovo we take great pride in ensuring that our guests have enjoyed a stay that more than fulfils their wishes. That's why alongside an exquisite selection of villas in Menorca, we offer the expert knowledge, experience and local contacts of our concierge service to assist in the planning and smooth-running of your Mediterranean escape. From assistance in arranging airport transfer, car, bike or boat hire, to choosing the best places to eat and finding a babysitter, we are on-hand to put your mind at ease.
Let us take the stress and guesswork out of planning your perfect family vacation, so that you and your loved ones can stretch out and gaze at the lazy palm trees while strewn on one of the island's soft-sand beaches and small pretty coves, safe in the knowledge that everything is being taken care of.

If you're looking for the beautiful beaches, wonderful weather and a delightful Mediterranean ambience free from crowds and sun loungers, then look no further than Mallorca's little sister, Menorca. Let the quaint fishing villages, the winding streets and rustic stone walls of the old quarters of its storied towns charm you, whether you're on a romantic getaway, a trip with friends or a family holiday in this tranquil holiday paradise.
In 1993 Menorca was declared a Biosphere Reserve so the ecology of the island is protected by UNESCO and its traditions are preserved with pride by its inhabitants. That makes it perfect for exploring on foot and getting up close to experience the beauty first-hand and at the island's own pace.
Travel the famous Cami de Cavalls hiking route which takes you around the perimeter of the island, showcasing the countless stretches of white sand, lighthouses, and small coves that make up its shoreline (however, consider doing so outside of the summer months when the lack of shade can become problematic), and be left awestruck by the island's gentle beauty. The trail is broken up into 10 manageable sections. Among our favourites is one starting on the east coast close to the capital Mahon and slowly making your way north to Es Grau. Meanwhile, for those staying near the south-west coast of the island, the section between Sant Tomas and Son Bou is both relatively easy and achingly beautiful.
For activities the whole family can enjoy, the island's small coves and clear waters provide the perfect setting for a spot of snorkelling or scuba, while the possibility of exploring the island on horseback is sure to appeal to the younger members of the family. For something a little more active, there are plenty of opportunities to try watersports such as kayaking and flyboarding, and - for something extra special - even see the island from on high with a go at paragliding.
There are plenty of places to visit in Menorca, with the island's beaches the obvious draw. And although each has its own charms, the pick of the bunch is perhaps Cala Galdana, where a long curl of soft, ivory sand crescents a beautiful turquoise bay, all fringed by swaying trees and a cascade of pretty white cliffs.
The quaint village of Binibeca, with its curious white-washed houses and pretty bay, is endlessly charming, while the main towns of Ciutadella and Mahon, provide a fascinating insight into the island's rich history, with reminders of the island's former British status in the latter juxtaposed by the typically Spanish influences of the former. The Torre de Fornells, a 200-year old fortress set next to a pretty beach village in the north of the island, is another highlight. After a visit, some time spent by the harbour of the village sampling the local delicacies and watching the boats gently bobbing on the water is a fine way to spend an afternoon.
And for those looking to sample the island's famous Gin Xoriguer, there's no better spot than the trendy and unusual Cova d'en Xoroi cave bar in the south of the island.
Beyond its stunning landscapes and gorgeous weather, discover a wealth of history behind this Balearic treasure, as well as a culinary culture boasting plenty of classy restaurants and vibrant local dishes, such as the island's famous lobster stew, Mahon cheese and iconic ensaïmada pastry.
Seafood is of course a go-to for this little Mediterranean island and there are plenty of restaurants serving up the day's fresh catch. Cafe Balear in Ciutadella would be a high-end case-in-point, which is popular with locals and tourists alike, although it does tend to become a little busy in the summer months.
Pastries both sweet and savoury are also typical of Menorca, with the aforementioned ensaimada, joined by cheesy flaons and freshly-made bunuelos on our list of must-tries.
Elsewhere, the gazpacho-like oliaigu and the cod-meatball stylings of bacalao ab burrida are certainly worth sampling.
We hired a captain with his boat for a day to tour the south of the island and swim in turquoise coves. We also hired a chef to cook at the villa, which was excellent and a treat for all, even our nearly 6- and 8-year-old children loved it.
