About Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz

Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz suits travellers who want a calm base on Menorca's north coast with the practicalities of a kitchen, parking and a pool. The three-star hotel sits 1.8 km from the near-circular bay of Arenal d'en Castell, so days can combine the pale sand with quiet evenings back at the property. Couples, small families and friends travelling together are the obvious fit, particularly anyone planning to explore the Tramuntana coast and the centre of the island by car at their own pace.

Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz is a modest, self-contained kind of stay: a three-star hotel with gardens, a terrace and an outdoor pool, where the listed facilities point towards longer stays rather than overnight stops. Kitchens, laundry service and family rooms appear among them, which suits anyone who prefers to eat in some evenings. Judgements are best made on the facilities and the position, and on what the property confirms directly before booking, especially when the north coast fills in high season.

Location: Arenal d'en Castell

Arenal d'en Castell is a near-circular bay of pale sand on Menorca's north coast, in the Tramuntana section where the rock is older and darker and the wind picks up in the afternoon. Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz is 1.8 km from the bay itself, with Fornells 4.8 km away and Es Mercadal and Monte Toro 6.8 km inland. The setting is residential and spread out rather than town-like, so the coast, the fishing village and the hill are all short drives from the hotel.

The nearest sand is a walk or a short drive of 1.8 km from Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz; a car makes the rest of the north coast straightforward, with free parking listed at the hotel. Fornells at 4.8 km and Es Mercadal at 6.8 km are easy errands rather than expeditions. Buses serve the island, with more lines in summer, and taxis are available, but timetables change and the hotel or the island council is the right place to check. High summer concentrates everyone on the same few bays, so early starts help.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities at Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz are listed for self-catering comfort: a kitchen with oven, microwave and refrigerator, coffee making, a washing machine and iron and board, plus air conditioning, a safe and a desk. Couples get space to settle in; families can ask about family rooms and cots. Non-smoking rooms, smoke detectors and a hairdryer are listed too. Late arrivals should confirm reception hours and key collection with the property in advance, since these details vary by season.

Outside the room, Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz lists a garden, a terrace, a solarium and an outdoor swimming pool, plus wifi and internet access. A golf course appears among the facilities, so ask the property what that means in practice and whether booking help is offered. Cleaning and laundry service are listed; confirm how often cleaning runs and whether laundry is charged. Also ask about pool hours, parking spaces and cot availability for your dates, since these are the details that shift between seasons.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 18.3 km from Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz in a straight line, on the south-west side of Maó. Hire cars collected at the airport make the transfer simple, with free parking listed at the hotel, and taxis cover the run for anyone arriving late. Buses connect the airport with Maó and, in summer, with the resorts, though routes and times change with the season, so check the island bus operator before you fly.

Maó port is 17 km from Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz by straight line, useful for anyone arriving on an overnight ferry from Barcelona. From the port, a hire car or taxi covers the northward run to Arenal d'en Castell. Ferries also link Ciutadella with Alcúdia on Mallorca and Maó with Palma, and winter sailings are fewer. Flights thin out between November and April too, so confirm the hotel's own opening dates before fixing travel dates around a stay.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Sand is the point of this coast. Arenal d'en Castell, the pale near-circular bay, is 1.8 km from Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz. Fornells, a fishing village on a sheltered inlet, lies 4.8 km away and is the place to understand the north coast's character, with its whitewashed houses and boat traffic. Inland, Es Mercadal sits at the foot of Monte Toro, 6.8 km by straight line, and the sanctuary and viewpoints on the summit are 5.7 km from the hotel.

The Favàritx lighthouse, on dark slate inside S'Albufera des Grau Natural Park, is 9.3 km from Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz, and kayak routes along the north coast are listed around 6.2 km away. Menorca's food is worth planning around: caldereta de llagosta is the lobster stew associated with Fornells, and Mahón-Menorca cheese carries a protected designation of origin. Both appear on menus across the island, and the property can say what is open nearby during your stay.

A day from Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz

Start with the bay: Arenal d'en Castell is 1.8 km from Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz, so an early swim and a walk around the near-circular sand takes the morning. Drive on to Fornells, 4.8 km away, for the harbour and a look at how the north coast fishing village works. Back at the hotel, the pool and terrace handle the hottest part of the afternoon, and the garden gives shade.

Late afternoon suits Monte Toro, 5.7 km from Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz by straight line, with Es Mercadal 6.8 km away at its foot for supplies. The Favàritx lighthouse, 9.3 km out, is a darker, starker landscape inside S'Albufera des Grau Natural Park, and kayak routes along the north coast are listed around 6.2 km from the hotel. Finish with dinner near the bay and the short run back.

Practical tips

Much of Menorca's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check Staymenorca Redescubre la Paz's own opening dates before fixing travel. July and August bring the densest crowds to the north coast and the highest demand around the bay 1.8 km from the hotel. Expect the sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, to be added per person per night by the accommodation, with rates set by accommodation type and season and reduced in low season; children under 16 are exempt. Current rates sit with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
