Trips to Menorca | December.

BY PLANE

With over 2.5 million passengers registred in 2013, Menorca Airport (MAH) is the island's main connecting point with the outside, especially with international tourism. Located 5 km from Mahón, the island's capital, it is well connected with the main European airports.

During low season the options to fly are very diverse and the majority of flights come from Madrid, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca. During the summer months there are more flights available. Most passengers come from Spain, United Kingdom and Italy.

There is a bus stop and a taxi stop at Mahón Airport.

 

Public Bus

Bus number 10 connects the airport with the Mahón bus station. From the station there are several buses that connect with the city and other towns. Bus stop at the airport: Terminal. Floor 0. Arrvials

 

Taxi Stop

There is a taxi stop in the passenger terminal (Floor 0. Arrivals.) Ask for an invoice in case of any further complaints.

 

Car Hire

The best way to get to know the island is to hire a car at the airport. Even though there is an excellent bus network that connects the main cities (Mahón and Ciutadellla) with the most important tourist centres, the best way to move around is by car. The prices are higher during high season.

 

HOLIDAY PACKAGES

Many travellers hire holiday packages that include flight, transport to and from the airport and acommodation.

In Menorca you will find a wide range of hotels to suit all tastes and budgets, offering spectacular resorts with an “all inclusive” basis or half board, most of them specialised in family holidays. Most of these resorts have swimming pools, entetainment for children, leisure activities for adults...

 

For those who prefer staying in cities like Ciutadella and Mahón, Menorca offers city hotels and boutique hotels located in symbolic buildings.

 

For a more intimate stay, there are exclusive villas that offer all of the facilities you need. If you want a taste of the real Menorca atmosphere there is nothing better than staying in a rural hotel. Ideal for a relaxing holiday and for lovers of hiking, nature and traditions. Many of them are buil near the Camí de Cavalls.

 

You also have a wide variety of first class hotels located along all of the island's beautiful coastline. Check if your acommodation includes breakfast at the hotel. The majority of the hotels include buffet breakfast with a wide variety of cold and warm dishes. They also usually offer local dishes cooked seasonally.

You may take out an insurance policy to cover medical assistance during the trip. We also offer a travel insurance policy, which covers medical assistance, theft and cancellation charges. Several private medical centres and private hospitals throughout many towns on the island offer medical assitance. 

 

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

In order to get assistance at a public medical centre or hospital you must have a Medical Card. Menorca has medical services all over the island. The Public Health Service has hospitals located in the main towns and medical centres spread all over the island. In Mahón you will find IB Salut Mateu Orfila Hospital.

There are also private medical centres. The Red Cross has several emergency centres in many villages and beaches. As in the rest of the country, in case of emergency you must dial 112. The call is free of charge and you will receive attention immediately in four languages (Spanish, Catalan, English and German). They will coordinate all the required emergency services such as ambulances, Fire Department and Police.

The Euro is the official currency in the Balearic Islands. As in the rest of the country, you may use credit cards for most of your financial transactions, especially in the touristic areas, where they tend to facilitate consumption to their clients. There may be some shops or small bars that only accept cash. 

There is a wide network of ATM’s in the main towns of the island, but please bear in mind that banks charge a commission if you withdraw cash with other banks’ credit cards.
