Comitas Tramontana Park

About Comitas Tramontana Park

Comitas Tramontana Park suits travellers who want a base on Menorca's quieter north coast rather than a resort strip. Couples, families and groups travelling together use it for the space, the pool and the kitchenettes, then drive out to the coves and the fishing village of Fornells. The hotel is three stars, and Fornells sits 1.9 km away, so a car or the shuttle service makes the difference between an easy evening out and a long walk back.

The stay is a straightforward three-star one: an outdoor pool with a kids pool and pool bar, a restaurant, a bar and snack service, and apartments with kitchenette, microwave, toaster and refrigerator among the listed facilities. That mix works for self-catering days when the tramuntana wind blows and you stay close to the hotel. A 24-hour front desk, cots, family rooms, a garden and a terrace are also listed.

Location: Fornells

Fornells is a fishing village on a sheltered bay, 1.9 km from Comitas Tramontana Park, and it is known across Menorca for caldereta de llagosta, lobster stew. The village keeps a working feel outside the height of summer and is the obvious place to eat in the evening. Arenal d'en Castell, a near-circular bay on the same north coast, lies 7.2 km from the hotel.

Nothing on the arrival side is walkable: Menorca Airport is 22.8 km away and Maó port 22.2 km, so plan on a hire car, a taxi or the hotel's shuttle service for the first and last day. Kayaking on the north coast is 0.8 km from the door, the nearest listed sight. Es Mercadal, at the foot of Monte Toro, is 6.8 km inland. Buses run more often in summer; check the island bus operator.

Rooms and facilities

Couples tend to want a quiet corner, while families use the family rooms and the sofa beds that appear among the listed facilities. The listed room details include air conditioning, a fan, a safe, a hairdryer, toiletries and a TV, plus a kitchenette with microwave, toaster and refrigerator for light lunches. Iron and board, cots, non-smoking rooms and housekeeping are listed too.

Late arrivals are covered by the 24-hour front desk and currency exchange listed for the hotel, though it is worth confirming arrival hours and whether the restaurant serves dinner on the day you land. Ask, too, about the kitchenette equipment if you plan to cook, about cot and sofa bed set-up for a family of four, and about laundry and dry cleaning turnaround. The terrace, garden and pool bar are shared spaces, so check their seasonal hours with the hotel.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 22.8 km from Comitas Tramontana Park in a straight line. The road route runs by taxi or by hire car collected at the airport, and the hotel's shuttle service is worth asking about before you fly. Summer buses serve more of the island, including the resorts, but timetables thin out in winter. Check the island bus operator for current lines rather than assuming a service.

From Maó port, 22.2 km away, ferries run to Barcelona and Palma, the Barcelona crossing an overnight one of several hours. A hire car collected in Maó or at the port covers the run north. From Comitas Tramontana Park, Fornells is 1.9 km, Es Mercadal and Monte Toro 6.8 km, and Arenal d'en Castell 7.2 km. Winter flights and sailings are fewer, so book early.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach bay is Arenal d'en Castell, a near-circular inlet 7.2 km from Comitas Tramontana Park. Fornells, 1.9 km away, spreads around its sheltered bay and is the place for a village waterfront meal. Inland, Es Mercadal sits 6.8 km off at the foot of Monte Toro, and the summit with its sanctuary, about 358 m high, is 7.1 km from the hotel, which makes a short half-day with the car.

Favàritx lighthouse, 14.6 km from Comitas Tramontana Park, stands on dark slate inside S'Albufera des Grau Natural Park, the core zone of Menorca's Biosphere Reserve and a stop for birds and dunes. Eating here means seafood: caldereta de llagosta is the Fornells dish, and the island's Mahón-Menorca cheese has a protected designation of origin. The British 18th century left Maó a gin tradition worth trying.

A day from Comitas Tramontana Park

Start early with kayaking on the north coast, 0.8 km from Comitas Tramontana Park and the nearest listed sight. Paddle while the water is flat, then drive the 1.9 km into Fornells for coffee and a look at the fishing boats. Late morning suits the sheltered bay, and a swim before lunch keeps the day simple. The hotel pool is the fallback when the wind picks up.

After lunch, climb to Monte Toro, 7.1 km away, or stop in Es Mercadal at 6.8 km for the sanctuary route and views of both coasts. Drive on to Favàritx lighthouse, 14.6 km from the hotel, for the dark slate and the lagoon edge of S'Albufera des Grau. Back at Comitas Tramontana Park, the pool bar and terrace close the day, with Fornells 1.9 km off for lobster stew.

Practical tips

Comitas Tramontana Park charges the Balearic sustainable tourism tax per person per night, as accommodation across the islands does; rates vary with category and season, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes current figures.
