Villa Beatriz

About Villa Beatriz

Villa Beatriz is a self-catering villa in a residential area outside Sant Tomàs, on Menorca’s south coast. It suits travellers who want a private base with an outdoor pool, a garden and a patio, away from the main resort centres. The property is not rated with stars and has no guest score listed.

The villa is equipped for independent stays: a full kitchen with oven, microwave, dishwasher and toaster, plus a washing machine and an iron. Air conditioning, free wifi and free car parking are included. The accommodation is listed as non-smoking, and a cot and high chair are available on request.

Location: Es Migjorn Gran

Villa Beatriz is in the Urb. Santo Tomàs development, a short drive from the village of Sant Tomàs. Sant Tomàs has a small beach and a handful of shops and cafés. The villa is not beachfront: the nearest beach area is Son Bou, 3.4 km away in a straight line, with a long sandy beach and dunes. Cala Galdana is 7.7 km away, and Cala en Porter is 9.1 km away.

A car is essential for getting around from Villa Beatriz. The property has free car parking. In high summer, the popular southern coves fill early, so arriving by mid-morning is advisable. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the roads are quieter and parking is easier. Much of the island’s tourism business closes from November to April, so check the villa’s opening dates.

Rooms and facilities

Villa Beatriz is listed as a self-catering villa with a kitchen, a terrace and a patio. The rooms include air conditioning, a bath, a hairdryer and toiletries. There is a TV and free wifi. The kitchen is equipped for self-catering, and the washing machine is useful for longer stays. Confirm the exact number of bedrooms and the layout with the property when booking.

For families, a cot and high chair are listed as available. The outdoor pool and garden provide space for children to play. Late arrivals should check the check-in procedure and key collection with the property, as reception hours are not specified. The villa is non-smoking throughout.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 16.1 km away in a straight line from Villa Beatriz. A taxi from the airport takes about 20–25 minutes. A hire car collected at the airport gives flexibility for exploring the island and for trips to the coves. Buses run from the airport to Maó and, in summer, to the resorts, but a car is recommended for reaching Sant Tomàs.

Maó port is 19 km away in a straight line, where ferries from Barcelona and Palma arrive. From the port, a taxi or a hire car is the most practical way to reach the villa. In winter, flights and ferries are fewer, so check schedules in advance. The villa’s free car parking makes a hire car convenient.

Practical tips

Much of Menorca’s tourism business closes roughly from November to April; check Villa Beatriz’s opening dates before booking. July and August are the peak months, with the busiest beaches and roads. 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, is reduced for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears website.
