Ferry from Menorca to Mallorca

About Menorca

Menorca is the second largest of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, east of mainland Spain. It is the least commercially overrun and most tranquil of the Balearics, acquiring UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status in 1993. However, despite its small size, it has the same number of beaches as Mallorca and Ibiza combined, numerous Bronze Age sites and lush wetland areas, making it arguably the most attractive of the archipelago. Its capital, Mahon sits on the east coast, boasting gorgeous 18th Century architecture, a Gothic cathedral, plenty of shops and superb restaurants. The Balearics are very well served by ferry and Menorca has a couple of ports offering numerous routes to Mallorca and mainland Spain. With ports in the capital and Ciutadella De Menorca on the west coast, Menorca is a useful gateway to some of the country’s top destinations.

About Mallorca

The heart and soul of the Balearics, Mallorca is the largest island of the archipelago, sitting just off the east coast of Spain. As islands go, Mallorca is a Mediterranean maestro, offering all that makes this part of Europe so enticing: mouth-watering cuisine, photogenic beaches and one of the most pleasant climates on the continent. Mallorca’s trump card, however, is the 550 kilometre coastline carving through the Balearic Sea, providing year-round fun for hikers, cyclists and tanning lovers alike. You’ll also find superb seafront restaurants around every corner and the capital, Palma, nestling in the namesake bay on the southwest coast. The relatively small city is known for its art galleries, lively bars and imposing Gothic cathedral, leading most to proclaim it as the most underrated city in Spain. As one of the most visited regions in Europe, the Balearics boast an impressive connection of ferry routes. Reaching Mallorca is particularly easy, with multiple sailings everyday from both the mainland and neighbouring islands.
