The best hotels in Menorca open in Winter

Menorca in Low Season: Why Visit?

From mid to late October, what we call the low season begins in Menorca.

But, what does that really mean? When, after the summer influx of visitors, tourists gradually return home to their daily lives and work, Menorca empties out, and the locals and residents become the sole owners of its streets, beaches, trails, and stunning nature.

From these dates, the vast majority of businesses, restaurants, and even hotels in the island’s resort areas close their doors until the following spring.

Does this mean it’s not worth visiting Menorca in winter? You might be wondering. The answer is clear and definite: quite the opposite!

This is precisely when you can experience an authentic Menorca, without crowds or long waits in restaurants. The Menorca of the locals and those who, captivated by its essence, have chosen to live here year-round.

If you’re lucky enough to have the chance to visit Menorca in winter, don’t hesitate!

Menorca in Winter: Where to Stay

As mentioned, in low season, most hotels in Menorca’s famous resort areas close. So where should you stay?

In its towns and cities! Life here never stops, and while it’s true that there are far fewer people on the streets, in Menorca’s towns and cities, you’ll always find life, restaurants, and open bars where you can mingle with the locals.

Whether in Mahón or Ciutadella, or in the island’s villages, you’ll find a great variety of charming hotels where you can enjoy your vacation.

Keep reading because we’ve selected the best hotels in Menorca that remain open in winter, ensuring you’ll have a relaxing stay!
