Agroturismo Biniati Des Pi

About Agroturismo Biniati Des Pi

Agroturismo Biniati Des Pi suits travellers who want Menorca's interior rather than a resort strip. The address is a country lane in the south-east of the island, so days begin quietly and end with a short drive back from the coast. Couples after calm, walkers using the island's paths and families who prefer space to a crowded poolside all fit here. Menorca Airport is close by, which makes short breaks and late arrivals practical.

The stay is listed as a three-star agroturismo with a guest score of 4.8/5 from 179 reviews, so the appeal is a small rural base rather than a full-service resort. A garden, a terrace and an outdoor pool appear among the facilities, along with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Air conditioning and free wifi are listed for the rooms. It works for a week of exploring the island, or for a night or two before an early flight.

Location: Sant Lluís

The setting is countryside outside Menorca's main resort areas, in the south-east between Sant Lluís and the airport. Sant Lluís, a white village of windmills, is 2.8 km away in a straight line. Maó (Mahón), the capital, is 4.7 km off, and so is Binibeca Vell, the whitewashed fishing-village-style hamlet on the coast. Nothing is on the doorstep, so a hire car makes the stay much easier; taxis cover evenings in Maó.

The height of summer brings the heaviest demand to the Migjorn coves, where car parks fill early and some roads carry seasonal limits. The lanes around the property stay quiet by comparison. Late spring and early autumn are gentler: greener countryside, lighter traffic and comfortable conditions for walking or cycling from the gate. Winter is different again, with many hotels, beach bars and seasonal buses shutting roughly between November and April, so out-of-season stays centre on Maó and Sant Lluís.

Rooms and facilities

The rooms come with air conditioning, a fan, a television, a safe and a balcony or patio, and the bathrooms with a hairdryer and toiletries. Couples who want a quiet base get a garden, a terrace and an outdoor pool, plus a lounge and a fireplace for cooler evenings. Free wifi and internet access run through the property. Some units include a kitchen or kitchenette with a refrigerator, which helps on longer stays. Confirm the room type and what the kitchenette holds when booking.

Families have family rooms, cots and room to run about: badminton, table tennis, a tennis court and mini golf are all listed, with a games room and a picnic area. Housekeeping and a laundry service help on longer stays, and there is luggage storage and 24-hour security. Breakfast, lunch and dinner appear among the facilities, though serving times are worth checking. Confirm meal arrangements and any late-arrival procedure with the property before travelling, particularly outside summer.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 0.9 km from Agroturismo Biniati Des Pi in a straight line, so the transfer is short. The road route is longer than that figure, so allow a taxi ride or collect a hire car at the terminal and drive. Buses serve Maó and, in summer, the resorts, but the final stretch to a country lane is easiest by taxi or with your own wheels. Tell the property if you land late.

Maó port is 4.7 km away in a straight line, and overnight ferries from Barcelona and Palma dock there. Ciutadella, the old capital in the west, has its own crossings. From the port, from Maó centre or from Sant Lluís, 2.8 km off, the drive is short with a car. Menorca's bus network is denser in summer and thinner in winter, and flights are fewer outside the season, so check timetables with the island bus operator before a winter trip.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Binibeca Vell, 4.7 km away, is the nearest listed village on the coast. The Migjorn shore beyond it holds the island's white sand: Son Bou is the longest beach, Cala en Porter sits between high cliffs, and Cala Galdana, Macarella and Turqueta are the well-known coves under pine. Car parks at the popular ones fill early in summer and some carry limits. Treat the sea as a short drive, not a walk from the door.

Menorca's cooking rewards a base inland. Caldereta de llagosta, the lobster stew tied to Fornells on the north coast, is a long-lunch dish, and the local Mahón-Menorca cheese has protected designation of origin status, so village shops in Sant Lluís and the market in Maó suit a picnic. The island's gin tradition comes from British rule in the 18th century. Agroturismo Biniati Des Pi lists breakfast, lunch and dinner, useful after a day out.

A day from Agroturismo Biniati Des Pi

Breakfast at Agroturismo Biniati Des Pi, then a 2.8 km drive to Sant Lluís to see the white village and its windmills before the heat builds. Carry on 4.7 km to Binibeca Vell for the whitewashed lanes and the water below, or continue to a Migjorn cove for a swim and a picnic. Return in the afternoon for the pool, the garden and shade, with the tennis court or table tennis later.

An evening in Maó is 4.7 km away: the harbour, the Georgian windows left by British rule and a boat trip round the port all start from there. La Mola fortress, 7.4 km off, guards the harbour mouth. For a day closer to base, S'Albufera des Grau is 10.9 km away, with its lagoon, dunes and birds, and dinner back at Agroturismo Biniati Des Pi finishes the loop.

Practical tips

Many Menorcan hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses close roughly from November to April, so ask Agroturismo Biniati Des Pi which months it opens before booking a winter stay. The height of summer fills the south coast; late spring and early autumn are easier for walking and driving. Accommodation in the Balearics carries the sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night, with rates that vary by type and category and by season, a reduction in low season and for longer stays, and an exemption for children under 16. The Govern de les Illes Balears sets the rates.
