Overview

Es Grau is a typical Menorcan fishing village, unspoilt and semi-secluded in a nature reserve - 85% of the population being Menorcan. There are three bars, one waterside restaurant, a small but well stocked supermarket and several local beaches, which are safe for children with shallow sandy bottoms. Clean clear warm waters make the area ideal for snorkelling with good local facilities for wind surfing and other water sports.

Facilities

Beach

Very natural unspoilt beach especially good for smaller children due it's gently sloping shallows into crystal clear turquoise waters. And while this makes it very popular for children it's big enough for those who prefer to avoid the little ones to find their ideal spots too!

The beach can be reached via nearby car parks or on foot from the fishing village or through the S'albufera park.

Nightime Entertainment

Es Grau has three bars and a restaurant to while away the evenings with good conversation. The cosmopolitan capital of Mahon(Mao) is closeby with a wide varierty of entertainments including a public casino.

As with most resorts in Menorca, evening entertainment here is generally to be found in the resort' bars but nothing that would ever compare to the neon jungle of the popular resorts along the south coast of Majorca. Mahon and Ciutadella however offer something for everyone, but with none of the "low class" to be found on Ibizia and Majorca. Menorca is NOT Majorca but that is why many people come here!

Mahon ( Mao )

Mahon has a great mediterranean charm around the centre and harbour. Busy pavement Cafes and Bars, superb fruit and fish markets and all enclosed in a maze of narrow streets with architecture and many reminders of its Georgian past.

Along the whole length of the harbour quayside (Moll de Llevant) there is an electic collection of Cafes, Bars and Restaurants for all pockets and styles. A spectacular setting above the huge natural harbour with ships and boats of every shape and sizes.

Fornells

Fornells a watersports and seafood restaurant eldorado. The village with it's speciality seafood restaurants is located at the entrance to a huge enclosed natural bay whose protected waters make it perfect for all manner of sail based 'messing about'. More like a large salt water lake the wind conditions here are great for beginners of anything that floats on water. Very pleasant for lunch time and evening drinks and meals alongside the harbour quay.

Alaior

This is a great town for wandering early or late evenings when the heat of sun is not around. The "third" capital of the island and a cultural centre. Alaior has an evening market town. The old town is very pretty and makes a great change to the beach, with a good mix of little shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. And some great hand made ice cream parlours! Childrens playground on the pretty town square (next to ice cream cafes!)

Menorca Tips

Ladies Alaior is home to the Pons Quintana shoe factory shop. An name relatively unknown in the UK because most of its high quality leather shoes are exported to France and Germany. At the factory shop you will get heavily reduced prices on beautiful shoes.

Son Bou & Cala en Porter guests - Visit the Large Supermarkets here at the Poligno ( commercial area) for a much better food and price selection.
