About Agroturismo Binissafullet Vell

Agroturismo Binissafullet Vell suits travellers who want farmland quiet rather than a resort strip, and still want the south-east coast within easy reach. The address is on the Binissafuller road outside Sant Lluís, so the white village, the airport and the hamlet of Binibeca Vell all sit within a few kilometres. Couples after a slow base and families who prefer space to a busy hotel block both fit here.

This is a three-star agroturismo: a small rural hotel in the Sant Lluís countryside rather than a purpose-built resort, with a guest score of 4.7/5 from 148 reviews. Expect a garden, an outdoor salt-water pool with a bar beside it, and meals served on the property. That makes a day here simple: swim, eat, sleep, and drive out when the coast calls.

Location: Sant Lluís

Sant Lluís is a white village of windmills and farmland, 2 km from Agroturismo Binissafullet Vell in a straight line. It is a working village rather than a coastal strip, with shops and cafés to hand and the south-east beaches a short drive beyond. Binibeca Vell, the whitewashed fishing-village-style hamlet, is 3.3 km away, and Maó sits 5.5 km off across the harbour approaches.

A car is the practical way to move, since the airport is 2.4 km away, Sant Lluís 2 km and Maó port 5.5 km, all straight-line figures on quiet roads. There are buses to Maó, and summer lines towards the resorts; the island bus operator lists the current routes. High summer fills the southern coves and their car parks early, so mornings work better than afternoons. In spring and autumn the same roads are calm and the pool terrace takes the day.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities suggest a comfortable, uncomplicated base: air conditioning and fans, a desk and a minibar, a bath, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries, plus a safe and a TV. Cots and family rooms appear on the list, which helps households travelling with small children. Outside the room, a garden, a solarium and a terrace sit alongside the salt-water pool and its bar. Wifi and car parking are free.

Confirm with Agroturismo Binissafullet Vell what matters for your dates: whether lunch and dinner are served every day, how special diets are handled, and whether a cot needs reserving in advance. Late arrivals should check reception hours and luggage storage before choosing a flight that lands after dark. Laundry service and housekeeping are listed, non-smoking rooms can be requested, and there is a smoking area for guests who need one.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 2.4 km from Agroturismo Binissafullet Vell in a straight line, so the transfer at either end of a holiday is short. A taxi is the simplest option; a hire car collected at the airport puts the property, Sant Lluís and the south-east coves in one easy loop. Buses reach Maó, with more lines in summer, and the island bus operator has the details.

From the water, Maó port is 5.5 km away in a straight line, the arrival point for overnight ferries from Barcelona and for harbour boat trips. Ferries also use Ciutadella in the west, a longer run by road. Sailings thin out in winter, as do flights, so confirm days with the ferry operator or airline before fixing dates, and tell Agroturismo Binissafullet Vell which arrival you book.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Binibeca Vell is 3.3 km away, a whitewashed hamlet of narrow lanes above the water, and the south-east coves around it are where you swim, since the hotel is set back from the shore rather than beside it. Sant Lluís, 2 km off, covers everyday needs. A boat trip round Maó harbour starts 5.3 km away, La Mola fortress at Maó is 7.3 km, and S'Albufera des Grau is 12 km.

Menorca eats plainly and well: Mahón-Menorca cheese with protected designation of origin, lobster stew in the north, fish along the south coast, and a gin tradition left by the long British stay in the 18th century. Sant Lluís and the villages on this side have small kitchens for lunch and dinner. Agroturismo Binissafullet Vell serves lunch on site, and special diets can be arranged when booking.

A day from Agroturismo Binissafullet Vell

Breakfast at Agroturismo Binissafullet Vell, then the 3.3 km to Binibeca Vell before the lanes fill, with a swim from the south-east coves on the way back. Sant Lluís is 2 km away for coffee and a look at the windmills. Lunch back at the hotel keeps the hottest hours car-free, and the salt-water pool takes the early afternoon.

In the later afternoon, drive 5.3 km for a boat trip round Maó harbour, or 7.3 km to La Mola fortress at the harbour mouth. S'Albufera des Grau, 12 km off, gives dunes, a lagoon and birds when the light softens. Return to Agroturismo Binissafullet Vell for the pool bar and terrace, with dinner served on the property.

Practical tips

Seasonal openings matter here: a large part of Menorca's tourist economy shuts roughly from November to April, so check Agroturismo Binissafullet Vell's own dates before booking a winter flight. July and August bring the peak, when the south-east coves and the airport road are busiest. A sustainable tourism tax is added per person per night by the accommodation; the rate varies with category and season, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rules.
