Location: Ciutadella de Menorca

Hotel & Apartments Los Delfines is in the Urbanizacion Los Delfines, outside the main resort areas, near Cala en Blanes. Cala en Blanes is a small cove on the west coast, about 3.2 km straight line from Ciutadella. Ciutadella is the old capital of Menorca, with a cathedral, palaces and a narrow port known for sunsets. The area around the hotel is residential and quiet, with a few local shops and a small beach within walking distance.

In high summer, the west coast gets busy but the hotel's location away from the main strip keeps it calmer. A car is useful for exploring the rest of the island. The nearest beach, Cala en Blanes, is walkable, but other coves such as Cala Turqueta (11.9 km straight line) require driving. In the shoulder months of May, June and September, the area is quieter and parking is easier. The hotel's free car parking is a practical advantage.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 38.6 km straight line from the hotel. A taxi from the airport takes about 35-40 minutes. A hire car gives flexibility to explore the island. Buses run from the airport to Maó and, in summer, to Ciutadella; from Ciutadella bus station, a taxi or a short bus ride reaches Cala en Blanes. In winter, fewer flights and buses operate.

Maó port is 41.2 km straight line away. Ferries from Maó and Ciutadella connect to Barcelona (overnight crossings of several hours) and to Mallorca. Ciutadella is 3.2 km straight line from the hotel, so a taxi from the Ciutadella ferry terminal is quick. The hotel's free car parking is a benefit if arriving by hire car.

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, with more crowds and higher demand for parking at the southern coves. 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.
