Agroturismo Llucmaçanes Gran

About Agroturismo Llucmaçanes Gran

Agroturismo Llucmaçanes Gran suits travellers who want the Menorcan countryside as a base rather than a resort strip. It is a three-star agroturismo with a guest score of 4.6 out of 5 from 147 reviews. Couples after quiet evenings, families who need space and a pool, and anyone landing late at Menorca Airport will find the position practical: the airport is 2.1 km away, Sant Lluís 2.5 km and Maó 3 km.

The stay is rural rather than coastal, on a countryside address at Es Pla de Sant Gaietà 10, outside the main resort areas. Days can pass without a long excursion: an outdoor pool, a garden, a terrace and a solarium are all listed. Parking is free for guests with a car, wifi is free throughout, and the lanes around the property are quiet enough for a short walk before dinner.

Location: Maó (Mahón)

The hotel sits in open country south of Maó, outside the island's main resort areas. The address, Es Pla de Sant Gaietà 10, places it between the capital and the white village of Sant Lluís, 2.5 km away. Maó, above its long natural harbour, is 3 km off, and Es Castell, the Georgian barracks town at the harbour mouth, is 4.2 km. This is inhabited, working Menorca rather than a seasonal strip.

Beyond the lanes around the hotel, little is walkable. Sant Lluís at 2.5 km and Maó at 3 km are better reached by car, taxi or island bus, especially with shopping or an evening meal in mind. The airport, at 2.1 km, is the closest landmark. High summer brings day-trippers onto the roads into Maó and Sant Lluís, while May, June and October leave the same lanes quiet and the fields green.

Rooms and facilities

Accommodation is listed with air conditioning, a fan and free wifi, plus a desk, a safe and a TV; some units have a fireplace. Bathrooms come with a bath or shower, a hairdryer, toiletries and slippers. Families can ask about family rooms, cots and high chairs, and some units are listed with a kitchen or kitchenette including a dishwasher, oven, microwave, refrigerator and toaster. A washing machine and an iron and board help on longer stays.

Ask which spaces face the garden or the pool when you book, and confirm whether express check-in and room service suit a late arrival, since rural hotels on Menorca keep light night staffing. Guests with reduced mobility should check the wheelchair-accessible accommodation and the route from the car park to the pool. It is also worth confirming how often housekeeping runs, whether laundry service is available, and whether pool towels are provided.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 2.1 km from Agroturismo Llucmaçanes Gran in a straight line, so the transfer is short whatever the hour. Taxis wait outside arrivals, and a hire car collected at the terminal is the usual choice for a countryside address. Island buses serve Maó and, in summer, the resorts, so check the island bus operator for a service that passes within reach of Sant Lluís at 2.5 km.

Arriving by sea, Maó port is 3 km away in a straight line, a quick taxi ride from the Barcelona and Palma ferry berths. Es Castell at 4.2 km and Sant Lluís at 2.5 km are the nearest places for supplies. Flights and ferries thin out from November, and some summer bus lines stop running, so check winter transport with the hotel before booking a late-season arrival.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Sant Lluís, 2.5 km away, is a white village of windmills, and Es Castell, at 4.2 km, grew as a barracks town under British rule. Maó, 3 km off, has the harbour front, the Georgian windows and the gin tradition that rule left behind. Menorca's south coast, the Migjorn side, is where white sand coves sit under pine, from Binibeca Vell and Cala en Porter along to Son Bou, the longest beach.

The island's food comes from the sea and the fields: caldereta de llagosta, the lobster stew associated with Fornells in the north, and Mahón-Menorca cheese, which carries a protected designation of origin. Farm land around the hotel means cheese, cold cuts and vegetables are local. Bars are listed among the facilities, and the hotel can point guests towards kitchens in Sant Lluís at 2.5 km or Maó at 3 km, including ones that stay open out of season.

A day from Agroturismo Llucmaçanes Gran

Begin at the hotel, then drive 3 km into Maó and walk the harbour before picking up a boat trip round the harbour, which starts about 3 km from Agroturismo Llucmaçanes Gran. The old streets above the water reward an hour on foot. In the afternoon, continue 6 km to La Mola fortress, the 19th-century Isabel II fortification that guards the harbour mouth, and walk the ramparts in the sea air.

Give a second day to S'Albufera des Grau, 9.3 km from Agroturismo Llucmaçanes Gran, the lagoon-and-dune park at the core of the Biosphere Reserve, with the Favàritx lighthouse on dark slate beyond. Birds are most active early, so take water and shade. Finish with a swim on the south coast and dinner in Sant Lluís at 2.5 km or Es Castell at 4.2 km. A car simplifies all of it; a taxi covers a Maó evening.

Practical tips

Menorca has a long season but not a year-round one: many hotels, beach bars and boat trips close roughly from November to April, while Maó and Sant Lluís keep working. Check Agroturismo Llucmaçanes Gran's own opening months before planning a winter stay. Peak season falls in July and August, when south coast car parks fill early. A sustainable tourism tax, the Balearic ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation, with rates that vary by category and season; the Govern de les Illes Balears sets them.
