A Binibeca holiday will take you to Menorca's south east coast and amongst some of the most peaceful scenery on the island.

It is a resort very much geared towards families and couples looking to escape the hustley bustle of the city, in order to relax and take in some of the fantastic, summery Menorcan climate. Beach fanatics will feel more than at home in Binibeca, with a main beach that encompasses, not only fine white sands and crystal clear waters, but also a shaded picnic area, free toilets and ample parking.

Nightlife is generally a very low-key and laid back affair, but for many this will be something that works in the resort's favor. Those looking for a more vigorous, neon-colored nighttime scene will find it more commonly in the neighboring Balearics of Ibiza and Majorca. For those wanting to relax and around the clock, however, you will be hard pressed to find better than a Binibeca holiday.
