Sindic Hotel Adults Only

About Sindic Hotel Adults Only

Sindic Hotel Adults Only suits couples and groups of friends who want a town base rather than a resort, with the harbour, the old centre of Maó and the airport all close. The address is Carrer De Sant Roc 34, in the capital of Menorca, and the hotel is adults only, so the shared spaces stay quiet. Days here mix harbour walks, short boat trips and the south coast beaches, reached without long transfers.

The hotel holds four stars and a guest score of 4.9/5 from 236 reviews. Its listed facilities point to a comfortable city stay: an outdoor pool with pool bar and solarium, a spa, a lounge, a bar and a concierge desk. Couples tend to treat it as a base for the whole island rather than a self-contained holiday, since the port, the buses and the airport are all within a few kilometres.

Location: Maó (Mahón)

Maó is the capital of Menorca, laid out above a natural harbour about 5 km long, one of the largest in the Mediterranean. The centre rises in steps from the water, with Georgian windows from the 18th-century British period and a gin tradition that outlasted it. Sindic Hotel Adults Only sits 0.3 km from the town and 0.1 km from the port, so the waterfront, the market streets and the evening walk are all on foot.

Everything in the old town is walkable from the door, including the port, where harbour trips leave. Es Castell is 2.7 km away and Sant Lluís 4.4 km, both simple by local bus or taxi, while the La Mola fortress at 4.4 km and S'Albufera des Grau at 6.7 km are easier with a car. In high summer the quay fills towards evening; in May, June, September and October the same streets are calmer.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms are listed with air conditioning, a safe, a minibar, a refrigerator and coffee, along with a bath, toiletries, a bathrobe and a hairdryer. Balconies, terraces, patios and sofa beds also appear in the facilities, so ask which room types carry them. Wi-Fi is free, there is a desk and an alarm clock for early starts, and lifts serve the floors. Non-smoking rooms are listed and smoking areas are set aside.

Confirm with the property which room has the balcony or terrace, whether a sofa bed suits your group, and how the pool and spa are used in the month you travel. Parking and garage space are listed, so it is worth reserving a place when you book. Late arrivals should check reception hours and the latest check-in time with Sindic Hotel Adults Only before travelling, and ask about the wheelchair-accessible arrangements if needed.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 4.8 km south-west of Maó, so the transfer to Sindic Hotel Adults Only is short. A taxi from the terminal is the simplest option with luggage, while a hire car suits anyone planning to tour the island afterwards; the hotel lists a car rental service and garage parking. Local buses run into Maó, with more lines in summer, so check times with the island bus operator.

Ferries from Maó to Barcelona and Palma use the port, which is 0.1 km from Sindic Hotel Adults Only, so you can walk up with bags in minutes. Es Castell lies 2.7 km away at the harbour mouth and Sant Lluís 4.4 km inland, both quick by bus or taxi. Crossings and flights thin outside summer, so confirm with the ferry operators and check the hotel's opening dates before a winter booking.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Sindic Hotel Adults Only is a town hotel rather than a beach property, so a swim means a short trip. The south coast holds the best-known sand: Son Bou, the longest beach, Cala en Porter, Cala Galdana, Cala Macarella and Cala Turqueta, all reached by car or summer bus. Binibeca Vell, the whitewashed hamlet, sits near Sant Lluís, 4.4 km from the hotel, and makes an easy half day.

Mahón-Menorca cheese has a protected designation of origin, and the island's British century left a gin tradition that the capital still follows. Fish and shellfish come straight off the boats, and lobster stew belongs to Fornells on the north coast. For places within walking distance of Carrer De Sant Roc, ask at Sindic Hotel Adults Only; the centre is 0.3 km away and the port 0.1 km.

A day from Sindic Hotel Adults Only

Begin with coffee near the port, 0.1 km from Sindic Hotel Adults Only, then walk the harbour edge before the day warms up. A boat trip round Maó harbour leaves 0.8 km away and shows the scale of the 5 km inlet. Lunch in the centre, 0.3 km from the door, then an afternoon by the pool or on the solarium, with the spa as a fallback if the weather turns.

Late afternoon suits the La Mola fortress, 4.4 km away, where the 19th-century walls guard the harbour mouth; a taxi or local bus covers the run. Alternatively S'Albufera des Grau is 6.7 km off, with the Favàritx lighthouse on dark slate and birds on the lagoon. Return to Maó for the evening, walk the old streets above the water and finish with a drink in the hotel lounge or on the terrace.

Practical tips

Menorca closes much of its tourism business roughly from November to April, though Maó stays open all year, so confirm opening dates with Sindic Hotel Adults Only before booking a winter stay. July and August are the peak, when the harbour and the south coast coves fill. Accommodation in the Balearics carries the sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, charged per person per night by the hotel. Rates vary with category and season, fall in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt; check with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
