A super two bedroom front line apartment with balcony overlooking the fishermen's jetty and the Island d'en Colon. The property is situated 200m from the main beach. The unspoiled village of Es Grau is located in the Albufera National Park, the nucleus of the Menorcan Biosphere Reserve, listed by UNESCO in 1993. The village is about 10 minutes from Mahon, the capital of Menorca, and 15 minutes drive from the airport. Es Grau has one of the finest sandy beaches in the area; ideal for small children as it shelves very gently. Behind the main beach lies the Albufera Lake and bird sanctuary, which is Menorca's main refuge and stopover along the migratory route of countless sea birds. The lake abounds with fish and crustaceans. The most common of which are mullet and eels. If you are prepared to walk for 15 minutes there is a choice of another 5 or 6 beaches.

The Port of Mahon is one of the finest deep-water anchorages in Europe, and there are shops, restaurants and bars all around the harbour. The old buildings of Mahon have been beautifully restored, likewise the fine Opera House. There is a twice-weekly handicrafts market, and a Music Festival throughout the summer. There is plenty of information in the apartment about events and places to go/eat etc.

Guest comments
Just a quick e-mail to let you know we have returned from Es Grau where we had a great time. I thought your apartment was lovely, and in a fantastic location so close to shop, bars and beach, yet not too noisy or busy. I think we all appreciated being away from the large resorts. We did hire a car though we actually didn't use it that much as Es Grau was so good.
