Biosphere Reserve

Enjoying one of the best preserved and unique natural environments in the Mediterranean, the island has been declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. The island is a genuine natural paradise of spectacular ravines, underwater and land caves, where wild birds, animals and plants may be observed in their natural habitat.

Within a 702 km2 area you will find the Natural Park of S’Albufera des Grau, five nature reserves, a marine reserve and nineteen N.A.S.I areas (Natural Areas of Special Interest).

Along its 216 km of coastline the beaches are Menorca’s main attraction. From unspoilt sandy coves, and isolated rocky inlets with sparkling water to busier beaches with a popular range of beach activities, there are locations to suit all tastes.
