Ciutadella de Menorca is the historic former capital on the island's western end, and it is a good choice for aparthotels and serviced apartments. Island holidays tend to run for a week or more, and a kitchen helps when the central market receives the catch daily and restaurants in the port and town reflect the fishing tradition, as the island's tourist site describes. Apartment-style stays also give families and groups room to spread out between beach days.

Where to stay in Ciutadella de Menorca
Old town (Plaça des Born)
- first-time visitors
- couples
- history
The island tourism site calls Plaça des Born the epicentre of the town, with the facades of the former lords' palaces around it, and places the cathedral at the highest point of the historic core. Wikivoyage describes a pleasant old town with medieval Gothic architecture and lists Casa Olivar, the Diocesan Museum and the Castell de Sant Nicolau. Staying here puts the restaurants and festivals within walking distance.
Port
- restaurants
- evenings
- walking
The island tourism site describes a strong maritime tradition in Ciutadella, still reflected in its fishing sector, with a central market that receives the catch daily and restaurants in both the port and the town. Wikivoyage names Ciutadella Port as the landing point for ferries from Alcúdia and Barcelona. Staying near the harbour keeps those within walking distance, and the old town is a short distance away.
Los Delfines
- resort stays
- families
- beach
Wikivoyage describes Los Delfines as a resort 3 km west of the town, one of the resort villages a few kilometres from Ciutadella, with bus 61 every 30 minutes from there. It suits visitors who prefer a coastal base to the old town. Wikivoyage notes that the coastline near the town centre is rocky with few sandy patches, and that the closest sandy beach is at Los Delfines.

Cala Santandria
- beach
- families
- quiet stays
Cala Santandria lies south of Ciutadella; Wikivoyage lists a dive centre there and bus 64 hourly from Santandria. It is a convenient choice if you want a beach within reach, while keeping the old town and port a short journey away.
Stays in or near Cala Santandria
- Vibra Caleta Playa Apartamentos · about 500 m away
- Apartamentos Mar Blanca · about 1 km away
Cala Morell
- nature
- quiet stays
- snorkelling
Cala Morell is on the north coast, and Wikivoyage lists bus 62 four times a day from La Vall and Cala Morell. The island tourism site names the Cala Morell Necropolis among the cultural sites of the municipality. Expect a quieter, more remote setting than the old town.
Getting around Ciutadella de Menorca
Wikivoyage says Menorca Airport is 7 km south-east of Maó, and that from there you take a public bus to Maó and then bus 1 or 14 across the island. TMSA buses 1 and 14 leave Maó every 30 minutes via Alaior, Es Mercadal and Ferreries, and Ciutadella's bus station is on Plaça de la Pau. Wikivoyage also lists ferries from Alcúdia and Barcelona.
In Ciutadella the old town and port are close together and walkable. Wikivoyage describes the resort villages, including Los Delfines to the west and Santandria to the south, as a few kilometres from the town, and Cala Morell is on the north coast. A hire car gives you more freedom than the bus timetable for exploring further along the island, and Wikipedia mentions the Trail Menorca Camí de Cavalls ultramarathon, named after the island's Camí de Cavalls route.
Living in Ciutadella de Menorca for longer
For a longer stay, decide whether you want the town or the coast. The old town gives you the market, the port and the festivals on foot; the resort areas give you a beach but mean more use of a bus or car. The island tourism site says the central market receives the catch daily, which suits self-catering.

When to visit Ciutadella de Menorca
Wikipedia describes a hot-summer Mediterranean climate with mild winters and dry, hot summers, and says autumn brings the heaviest rainfall, with an annual average of around 456 mm. It also notes that Menorca is generally wetter than nearby Mallorca, with rainfall peaking in late autumn.
The festival season begins with the Festes de Sant Joan, held in the week around 23 and 24 June, according to Wikivoyage. The island tourism site says the festival transforms Ciutadella into the capital of the archipelago during the year's shortest night. Wikipedia adds that a commemoration of l'Any de sa Desgràcia, the Year of the Disaster, takes place each year on 9 July, and links the town to a sixteenth-century Ottoman raid.
Wikipedia says Ciutadella was the island's capital until the early eighteenth century, which fits the cathedral and the palace facades around Plaça des Born. This page covers the old town, the port and the nearby coastal areas where visitors stay, how to reach them from Menorca's airport, tips for longer stays and when to go.
