Waki Conscious Hotel

About Waki Conscious Hotel

Waki Conscious Hotel stands on Avinguda Del Capità Negrete in Ciutadella, the old capital of Menorca, and suits travellers who want the cathedral, the palaces and the narrow port within walking distance. Couples who prefer a small base to a large coastal complex fit here, and so do families who need a room that takes a child. Days begin with a walk into the centre and end with a return on foot after dinner.

The hotel is a three-star property rather than a resort, and it is listed with a guest score of 5.0 out of 5 from 63 reviews. A garden, a terrace and a patio give the place its shape, while rooms come with air conditioning, free wifi, a safe and a TV. Ask the hotel directly what breakfast or other meals are offered, and whether the accessible entrance reaches the room type you want.

Location: Ciutadella

Ciutadella keeps its cathedral, its palaces and a narrow port that faces the sunset, and the festival of Sant Joan fills the streets around 23 and 24 June with horses and riders. Waki Conscious Hotel is 0.5 km from the old town, so the centre is a walk rather than a drive. The streets around Avinguda Del Capità Negrete are ordinary and residential, which keeps evenings calm.

Walking covers the old town and the port. Anything else needs wheels: Cala Galdana is 12.4 km away and Es Mercadal, at the foot of Monte Toro, is 21.9 km away, both easiest by hire car or taxi from the town. Buses run from Ciutadella to other parts of the island, with more lines in summer, so check the current timetable with the island bus operator. In July and August the centre is busy; in May, June, September and October it is quieter.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, a sofa bed, a hairdryer and toiletries, plus a safe and a TV. Couples may find a smaller double enough, while families should ask which rooms carry the sofa bed and the family-room label, and whether a cot fits. Late arrivals should confirm reception hours with the hotel before travelling, as arrival times and staffing vary through the season.

Housekeeping and cleaning are listed, along with a laundry service for longer stays, free wifi and internet access. Non-smoking rooms are the norm, with a smoking area outside, and the garden, terrace and patio give families somewhere to sit without leaving the address. The hotel is listed as wheelchair accessible and has smoke detectors and other security features; ask about the shuttle service, the coffee arrangements and whether the accessible route reaches your room type.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 35.9 km from Waki Conscious Hotel in a straight line, on the far side of the island from Ciutadella. The simplest way to cover that distance with luggage is a taxi or a hire car. Buses run from the airport into Maó, where you change for Ciutadella, with more connections in summer. Check the island bus operator for current times before relying on a late arrival.

Maó port is 38.4 km away and handles the overnight Barcelona crossing, which takes several hours; Ciutadella itself is 0.5 km from the hotel and its port links to Alcúdia on Mallorca. Arriving by sea at Maó means a cross-island transfer first. Sailings and flights thin out in winter, so match your dates to the timetable you are given and ask the hotel which route suits your arrival time.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Ciutadella old town at dusk is 0.5 km away, close enough to walk down for the light on the port. The Naveta des Tudons, a boat-shaped prehistoric tomb, is 4.7 km from the door and belongs to the Talayotic Menorca collection inscribed by UNESCO in 2023. Cala Turqueta, a white-sand cove under pine on the Migjorn coast, is 9.6 km away, and Cala Galdana is 12.4 km.

Menorca's kitchen is worth planning around: caldereta de llagosta, the lobster stew associated with Fornells on the north coast, and the Mahón-Menorca cheese sold across the island has protected designation of origin status. The British 18th century left a gin tradition in Maó. None of this sits at the hotel's door, so treat eating out as part of the driving you already do to the coves. Ask the hotel for guidance on what is open in the month you visit.

A day from Waki Conscious Hotel

Start with the 0.5 km walk from Waki Conscious Hotel into Ciutadella for coffee and the cathedral, then drive out early to Cala Turqueta, 9.6 km away. Car parks at the popular southern coves fill early and some have summer limits, so the drive is short but the parking is the constraint. Return to the old town for a late lunch and a rest out of the sun.

In the afternoon take the 4.7 km run to the Naveta des Tudons, or go further to Monte Toro above Es Mercadal at 21.9 km for the sanctuary and the view across both coasts. End back in Ciutadella, 0.5 km from the hotel, as the light drops over the narrow port. Dinner in town leaves an easy walk home; a taxi covers the return if the evening runs long.

Practical tips

Outside the main towns, much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; Ciutadella stays open, but confirm Waki Conscious Hotel's own opening dates before booking a winter week. July and August are the busiest months, with May, June, September and October calmer and the sea still warm. Accommodation bills include the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night, at rates that vary with category and season, with reductions in low season and for longer stays and an exemption for children under 16. Check the current rules with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
