Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca

About Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca

Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca suits travellers who want a simple base on Menorca's west coast and a car to reach the island's coves and towns. The block sits near Cala en Blanes, outside the main resort areas, with Ciutadella 3.4 km away for dinner, shopping and the old harbour. Couples touring by car, small families and anyone who prefers a quiet edge of a village to a large holiday complex will find the setting practical.

Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca is a two-star apartment building rather than a full-service hotel. Self-catering suits longer stays: you can shop in Ciutadella and eat on your own terrace, then use the garden and outdoor pool between outings. The listed facilities include free wifi, an ATM on site, a dry cleaning service and wheelchair access, and the terrace gives a place to sit after a day on the south coast roads. Expect straightforward comfort at a modest rating rather than hotel extras.

Location: Ciutadella de Menorca

Cala en Blanes is a small west-coast village a short run from Ciutadella, and Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca stands on the edge of it rather than in the busiest resort zones. Ciutadella, the old capital, is 3.4 km away: cathedral, palaces and a narrow port that faces the sunset. The island's south-coast coves begin within a short drive, and the centre of Menorca, with Es Mercadal and Monte Toro at about 358 m, is 24.9 km from the apartments.

Ciutadella is the nearest place of any size, 3.4 km away, and it can be reached by bus, taxi or car from the village. The beaches and prehistoric sites need wheels: Cala Turqueta is 12.1 km from Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca and Cala Galdana 15.2 km. In July and August the village fills and the car parks at the southern coves fill early, so set out in the morning. May, June, September and October bring quieter roads and better walking weather.

Rooms and facilities

The apartment format at Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca gives couples and families room to spread out, with the listed terrace and garden as extra living space in warm weather. The outdoor pool is the obvious centre of a lazy afternoon, and free wifi covers the practical side of a longer stay. Dry cleaning service helps if you are travelling for work or staying more than a week. The ATM on site saves a walk into the village for cash.

Because apartments vary, confirm with Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca what each unit includes before booking: kitchen equipment, bed configuration, whether cots and high chairs are available, and how many people each apartment sleeps. Ask about pool opening hours outside high season and about late arrival arrangements, since reception hours are not something to assume on a small two-star property. Wheelchair access is listed, so describe specific needs in advance. Ask where to park and whether the terrace is private or shared.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) lies 38.9 km from Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca by straight line, on the far side of the island near Maó. Collecting a hire car at the terminal is the simplest option, and the car then serves beach days at Cala Turqueta and Cala Galdana. Taxis are available at the terminal, and buses run to Maó with summer connections towards the resorts; check current times with the island bus operator before relying on a late arrival.

From Maó port, 41.4 km away, the road crosses Menorca's centre, with Es Mercadal and Monte Toro 24.9 km from Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca, before dropping to the west coast and Cala en Blanes. Ciutadella, 3.4 km from the apartments, is the closest town for supplies, and its port handles ferries to Alcúdia on Mallorca. Ferries from Maó and Ciutadella to Barcelona are overnight crossings of several hours; check operators for current timetables. Winter brings fewer flights and sailings, so plan around fixed dates.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Cala Turqueta, 12.1 km from Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca, is the closest of the southern coves named here, white sand under pine on the Migjorn coast, and Cala Galdana is 15.2 km away with a wider bay. Both are reached by road, and in high summer the car parks at the popular coves fill early; a bus or an early start helps. Ciutadella, 3.4 km away, has the nearest shops and port side walks.

The Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped prehistoric tomb, is 7.8 km from the apartments and part of the Talayotic Menorca World Heritage listing added in 2023. Ciutadella old town at dusk is 3.4 km away, with the cathedral and the palaces of the old capital. Menorcan food is worth planning around: caldereta de llagosta from the north-coast fishing village of Fornells, Mahón-Menorca cheese with its protected designation of origin, and the gin tradition left by British rule in Maó.

A day from Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca

Start with Ciutadella, 3.4 km from Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca, before the day heats up: the old town's streets, the cathedral, and the narrow port below. From there the Naveta des Tudons is 7.8 km away, a short stop on the road that gives a sense of the Talayotic Menorca sites. Drive on towards the south coast for the afternoon, with Cala Turqueta 12.1 km from the apartments as the target.

After the beach, return west and use the pool and terrace at Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca while the light softens. Ciutadella old town at dusk is 3.4 km away and makes a good second visit for the port and a meal. A car makes the loop simple; buses cover parts of it in summer, and taxis can handle the short run into Ciutadella. For a longer day, Cala Galdana is 15.2 km away.

Practical tips

Menorca's season shapes a stay here: many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses close roughly from November to April, while Ciutadella stays open all year. Check opening dates with Apartamentos Sol Y Mar Menorca before booking outside the main months, and expect July and August to be the peak, with the southern coves busiest then. Menorca's sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates vary with category and season, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
