Apartamentos Llebeig

About Apartamentos Llebeig

Apartamentos Llebeig is a one-star complex of self-catering apartments in a quiet residential area outside the main resort strip. It suits travellers who want a practical base with a kitchen, a pool and a garden, within a short drive of Ciutadella and the white-sand coves of Menorca's south coast. The property has no restaurant or bar on site, so guests cook for themselves or eat out in nearby Cala Blanca or Ciutadella.

The apartments are listed with air conditioning, a kitchen or kitchenette, a balcony or terrace, and free wifi. There is an outdoor pool, a solarium, a garden and a massage service. The complex also offers bike and car rental, a shuttle service, and a safe. Families can request cots and high chairs. The property is not on the beachfront; the nearest beach is Cala Blanca, a short drive away.

Location: Ciutadella de Menorca

Apartamentos Llebeig is on Carrer Des Passerell in Son Carrió, a residential area just inland from Cala Blanca, about 2.8 km straight line from Ciutadella. Cala Blanca itself is a small cove with a sandy beach, a few bars and a supermarket. Ciutadella, the old capital of Menorca, has a cathedral, palaces, a narrow port and a lively evening scene. The straight-line distance to Ciutadella is 2.8 km, so a car or taxi covers the trip in a few minutes.

In high summer, the south-coast coves such as Cala Turqueta (7.9 km straight line) and Cala Galdana (11.2 km straight line) draw many visitors, and car parks fill early. A hire car is the most practical way to explore. In the shoulder months of May, June and September, the area is quieter and the roads less crowded. Much of the tourism business on Menorca closes roughly from November to April, so check the hotel's opening dates before booking.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments are listed with a kitchen or kitchenette, a microwave, toaster, oven, refrigerator and coffee-making facilities. Each unit has air conditioning, a fan, a TV, a hairdryer, an iron and board, and a safe. Some have a balcony or terrace and a sofa bed. The bathrooms include a bidet. Free wifi is available throughout. Guests should confirm the exact layout and number of bedrooms when booking, as the property offers different apartment sizes.

For families, cots and high chairs are listed as available. Late arrivals should check the check-in procedure with the property in advance, as there is no 24-hour reception. The complex has non-smoking rooms and smoke detectors. A first-aid kit is on site. The pool and solarium are outdoor and seasonal, so opening dates depend on the weather and the hotel's schedule.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is about 35 km straight line from Apartamentos Llebeig. A taxi takes roughly 30-40 minutes. A hire car gives the most flexibility for exploring the island; several rental agencies have desks at the airport. Buses run from the airport to Maó and, in summer, to the resorts, but there is no direct bus to Son Carrió. A taxi from the airport is the simplest option for those not hiring a car.

From Maó port (37.8 km straight line), ferries arrive from Barcelona and Palma. A taxi or hire car from the port to the apartments takes about 40 minutes. From Ciutadella (2.8 km straight line), a taxi or a short drive brings you to the property. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, so check schedules in advance. The island bus operator runs services to Ciutadella, from where a taxi covers the remaining distance.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Ciutadella old town, 2.8 km straight line, is the nearest major centre. Its narrow streets, cathedral and port are worth exploring at dusk. The Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped prehistoric tomb, is 5.3 km straight line from the apartments, a short drive east. Cala Turqueta, 7.9 km straight line, is a white-sand cove with pine trees and clear water; arrive early in summer or take the bus from Ciutadella. Cala Galdana, 11.2 km straight line, is a larger bay with a beach and a few facilities.

Menorca's south coast has many limestone coves with white sand, such as Cala Macarella and Cala en Porter, both within a 15-20 km drive. The Camí de Cavalls (GR 223) runs around the whole island, about 185 km, and sections near Ciutadella are accessible for walking. Local food includes Mahón-Menorca cheese (a protected designation of origin) and caldereta de llagosta (lobster stew), a specialty of Fornells on the north coast.

A day from Apartamentos Llebeig

Start the morning with breakfast on the terrace of your apartment. Drive 2.8 km into Ciutadella and walk through the old town, visiting the cathedral and the port before the heat builds. From there, head 7.9 km to Cala Turqueta for a morning swim; arrive early to find parking. Bring a picnic, as the cove has no restaurant. Spend the late morning on the sand or snorkelling in the clear water.

After lunch, drive 5.3 km to the Naveta des Tudons, a prehistoric tomb that takes about 20 minutes to visit. In the late afternoon, return to the apartment for a rest by the pool. In the evening, drive back to Ciutadella for dinner in the old town or at the port. Watch the sunset from the port before heading back to the apartment. The day covers about 30 km of driving in total.

Practical tips

Much of Menorca's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check the hotel's opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, when the south-coast coves are busiest and car parks fill early. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type of accommodation and the season, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
