Further details
The Island of Menorca is quiet, unspoilt and the least commercialised of the Balearic Islands, yet it has every modern facility for a real 'get away from it all' family holiday. Measuring only 35 x 9 miles, it has numerous beaches, coves, bays and pretty harbours awaiting discovery around its rocky indented coastline. There are several excellent birdwatching regions and the undulating landscape also offers many delightful walks and tours to its prehistoric sites and places of historical interest.
The capital, Mahon, stands at the head of a magnificent harbour (a favourite mooring place for dozens of beautiful luxury yachts). The British, who ruled the island for 70 years, have left their mark with Georgian houses, tartan folk customs and gin!
Binibeca is one of the original and most attractive resorts on the island and, apart from its magnificent beach, there is also a small marina where a variety of water sports are available, including an excellent scuba-diving and windsurfing school. There are 2 tennis courts for hire at the bottom of the garden.
Within 8 minutes walk of the villa are several fine restaurants, bars, shops and 2 supermarkets. The area is well developed for self-catering holidays and many of the restaurants are ideal for children. One, very close by, is of excellent value and has regularly won the island's coveted award of 'Restaurant of the Year'. Details of restaurants, places of interest and various maps and information are available at the villa.
Booking notes
A 20% deposit is required at the time of booking and the balance is payable 2 months prior to your departure, when maps and an information pack will be sent to you. Insurance and flights from most UK airports can also be arranged.
Owner profile
About the owner
I am a retired Banker having worked in the city for all my working life.
I am married to Helene and have three daughters, one of whom has given us three lovely grand daughters.
We fell in love with Menorca on our honeymoon, some 40 years ago, and promised ourselves that if we were ever able, we would like to have a holiday home there.
Some 5 years later we found that we were able to buy a plot in Binibeca and shortly afterwards, built Villa Helene. We have been visiting this lovely (and still largely unspoilt) Island ever since.
Helene and I are happy to share our holiday home with family, friends and guests. We only ask that all visitors treat the Villa like their own home, as we do.

Why the owner chose a home in this location
My wife and I fell in love with Menorca on our honey moon. We chose Binibeca as the ideal location because it was small yet already well established, had a lot of character, the locals were friendly and anxious to show off their English, and most important - there were no hotels within 3 miles.
A safe and sandy beach was a 'prerequisite' as were the closeness of two supermarkets, several restaurants, bars and shops. Binibeca had all the requirements for a quiet and relaxing 'villa' holiday.
For the more energetic and/or adventurous - there is a small marina with water sports. Tennis and squash nearby, and even cricket a few miles away!
Binibeca is only 15 minutes drive from the airport and the same distance from Mahon the capital.
Unique benefits of the property
We enjoy the fact the villa is located in a quiet residential road rather than a claustrophobic complex.
We are fortunate enough to own our own swimming pool rather than having to share with other villas.
The garden is now fully established and offers complete seclusion.
Everything needed for a villa holiday is within easy walking distance.
