Villas La Luna

About Villas La Luna

Villas La Luna suits families and couples who want a self-contained base close to Menorca's old capital. The address is in Son Blanc, a quiet edge of Ciutadella, so the old town at dusk is 1.8 km away. Three stars and a villa format mean the pace is your own: a barbecue and an outdoor pool are listed, air conditioning is there for hot nights, and parking is free with a car.

Villas La Luna is an apartment or villa property of three stars in Son Blanc, on Menorca's western side, within reach of Ciutadella. The format is self-catering rather than a staffed hotel: a terrace, a pool and a barbecue are listed, and non-smoking rooms are among the options. It suits travellers who want quiet evenings and their own kitchen, with Ciutadella 1.8 km away for dinner and errands.

Location: Ciutadella

Ciutadella, the old capital of Menorca, sits in the west of the island: a cathedral, palaces and a narrow port cut into the rock, known for sunsets. Villas La Luna is 1.8 km from the centre, in Son Blanc. The old town at dusk is that same 1.8 km, close enough to walk in for an evening and back out again, though the return after dark is easier by car.

Walking works for Ciutadella itself. Everything else on this side of Menorca is easier with a car, and free parking at Villas La Luna makes that practical: Cala Turqueta is 8.6 km away, the Naveta des Tudons 5 km, Cala Galdana 11.8 km and Es Mercadal with Monte Toro 22 km. Buses and taxis serve Ciutadella, though services thin out outside summer, so check times with the island bus operator before relying on them.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities listed for Villas La Luna point to a simple self-catering stay: air conditioning, internet access, non-smoking rooms, a terrace, a barbecue and an outdoor pool, with free car parking on site. Couples get a quiet base 1.8 km from Ciutadella; families get space and a pool instead of a lobby. Late arrivals should confirm key collection and arrival times with the property before travelling, and ask whether a late check-in can be arranged.

Ask Villas La Luna what the villa or apartment includes before booking: whether the barbecue is private or shared, whether the pool is open all year, and what internet access covers in practice. Check the bed setup for the group and whether cleaning is included during the stay. Confirm the tourist tax handling and any deposit with the property, and ask about extra parking if two cars arrive.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 35.5 km from Villas La Luna in a straight line, on the south-west edge of Maó. Collecting a hire car at the airport is the simplest way to make that run across the island to Son Blanc, and the car then covers the beaches. Taxis make the trip too; confirm the current fare before setting out. Buses run to Maó and, in summer, to the resorts, so check the island bus operator for Ciutadella connections.

Maó port is 38.1 km from Villas La Luna in a straight line, reached by road across the island. Ciutadella, 1.8 km from the property, has its own port with overnight sailings to Barcelona and a link to Alcúdia on Mallorca. Flights and sailings are fewer in winter, so check timetables with the operators and the island bus operator before fixing dates, and tell Villas La Luna your arrival time.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Beaches on this side of Menorca are south-coast coves. Cala Turqueta is 8.6 km from Villas La Luna, a white sand inlet under pine where the car park fills early in summer; Cala Galdana is 11.8 km, a larger bay with the same summer pressure. Ciutadella, 1.8 km away, gives the old town at dusk and the narrow port. The Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped prehistoric tomb, is 5 km off.

Menorca's kitchen is worth planning around, and Ciutadella, 1.8 km from Villas La Luna, is where to shop for the barbecue. Look for the local cheese, Mahón-Menorca, which holds a protected designation of origin, and for the lobster stew associated with Fornells on the north coast, a drive from the west of the island. Pastries and a gin tradition, left by British rule in the 18th century, turn up in Maó and Ciutadella.

A day from Villas La Luna

Start at Villas La Luna with a swim in the outdoor pool and breakfast on the terrace. Drive the 8.6 km to Cala Turqueta in the morning, early, because parking at the southern coves fills in high summer. Stop at the Naveta des Tudons, 5 km from the property, on the way back. Rest, then walk or drive the 1.8 km into Ciutadella for the old town at dusk and sunset over the narrow port.

A second day can head east and inland: Cala Galdana is 11.8 km from Villas La Luna, and Es Mercadal with Monte Toro is 22 km, where the sanctuary sits at about 358 m with views of both coasts. Return through Ciutadella, 1.8 km out, for fuel and food, then back for a barbecue. Keep the evening local, because the drive from the centre of the island is on minor roads.

Practical tips

Many Menorca hotels, beach bars and seasonal buses close roughly from November to April, and Villas La Luna sits in the west, so check the property's dates before booking a shoulder-month trip. Peak weeks fall in July and August, when southern coves and their car parks fill early. Stays at Villas La Luna carry the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the type of accommodation and the season, and children under 16 are exempt. Rates change, so check with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
