About Apartamentos Seth Mestral y Llebeig

These apartments suit travellers who want a self-catering base on Menorca's south coast, away from the largest resorts. The complex provides a kitchen or kitchenette, an outdoor pool and a garden, making it practical for families and couples who prefer to cook some meals. The property is not rated for stars and has no guest score listed.

The accommodation consists of apartments with a balcony or terrace, air conditioning and free WiFi. Facilities include a buffet restaurant, a bar, a kids' pool, a playground and a mini golf course. The 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and currency exchange are useful for late arrivals or early departures.

Location: Es Migjorn Gran

The apartments are in Sant Tomàs, a small settlement on Menorca's south coast. The beach at Sant Tomàs is a short walk away, though the hotel is not listed as beachfront. Son Bou, the island's longest beach with dunes and a wetland, is 3.6 km straight line. Cala Galdana, a wide sandy cove backed by pine woods, is 7.5 km away. Cala en Porter, a deep cove between high cliffs, is 9.3 km away.

A hire car is the most practical way to explore the south coast coves and the interior. The nearest village with shops and restaurants is Sant Tomàs itself. Maó, the capital, is 19.2 km straight line. In high summer the coastal roads and car parks at popular coves fill early. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October the area is quieter and parking is easier.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 16.2 km straight line from the apartments. A taxi takes about 20 minutes. Buses run from the airport to Maó, and in summer some services continue to the south coast resorts; check the island bus operator for current routes and timetables. A hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for exploring the island.

Maó port is 19.2 km straight line. Ferries from Barcelona, Palma and Ciutadella arrive there. From the port, a taxi or hire car is the most direct option. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, and some bus lines do not run. The hotel's 24-hour front desk can help with taxi bookings or car rental.

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 higher demand and fuller coves. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of accommodation, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
