Coast/Beach
Punta Prima beach is a 4 minute walk from the villa and considered one of the best on the island: Wide, with golden 'sand castle' sand and shallow for a long way out, so safe for children. The rock pools on either side are perfect for paddling with fishing nets. Sunbed, parasol and pedalo hire. Lined with restaurants and shops. There are over 100 beaches in Menorca and even in high season, you can find one to yourselves. (All of Menorca is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.)
Golf
18 hole golf course at Son Parc which is a 20 minute drive from the villa.
Travel
Mahon airport is an easy 15 minute drive. Directions and recommended car hire firms are provided. The airport has car hire and a taxi rank. Car hire is not essential, due to the villa's proximity to resort amenities, but would greatly enhance your stay as there are so many wonderful places to visit. Punta Prima is well served by buses and we have a local 'taxi man'. A road train goes from Punta Prima to neighbouring beaches.
Distances
Menorca is only 50km long and 20km wide, so days out are easy. The capital (Mahon) is 6km away for shopping, sightseeing, markets, boat trips and the beautiful port, which is the second deepest natural harbour in the world, after Pearl Harbor. The nearest town (Sant Lluis) is 4km for restaurants, cafes, banks and a large hypermarket.

Owner profile
About the owner
Ten years ago, on our first visit to Menorca, I was driving through Sant Lluis and got held up in traffic. When I leaned out the window to see what was causing the jam, I saw that the driver of a car some way ahead had stopped to chat with a friend on the pavement. No one was hooting, everyone just waited. At that moment, I 'got' Menorca. Perhaps, long ago all of Europe was like this. I found this relaxed, laid back approach to life infectious and soon ended up buying a property. I love it here and can't get out often enough.
Year purchased: 2001
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Punta Prima is the oldest resort in Menorca. It's easy to see why. It has one of the finest beaches on the island yet is only a ten minute drive from the capital, Mahon. Unlike some resorts, which are like ghost towns in the winter, Punta Prima has lots of year-round residents. The restaurants and shops have the same faces working there year after year and so it feels like a community, not faceless seaside tourist trap.
Unique benefits of the property
Many villas in Menorca lack privacy. The Spanish are quite happy to splash about in the their front garden pools, with no screening from the road. So it's quite unusual to find a villa that's screened on all sides by tall hedges. The villa is very much our 'home from home' and it's the one thing all our guests tend to comment on. Everything you need is in walking distance. Oh, and in the summer, you'll welcome our huge covered terrace. OK, you're coming for the sun, but come mid-afternoon, you'll be thankful for some shade!
