If you're thinking of visiting Menorca, but don't know when the best time is, we've got you covered! Although the turquoise waters of this Mediterranean gem are irresistible all year round, the decision of when to travel can depend on factors such as the weather, the influx of tourists and, of course, the price. Below, we'll tell you everything you need to know to choose the perfect month and make the most of your stay in Menorca.

The best months to visit Menorca

The best time to enjoy Menorca is between April and October, depending on your preferences. If you prefer warm, dry weather to enjoy the beaches and outdoor activities, the months of May to September are ideal. However, August is the busiest month for tourists, so it can be harder to find peace and quiet on the beaches and prices tend to rise. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more relaxed and less crowded atmosphere, spring and autumn are perfect. Also, visiting in April, May, September or October will allow you to enjoy mild weather without the summer crowds.

Visit Menorca in April

April is the month when Menorca begins to wake up from its winter lethargy. The weather is starting to be more pleasant for outdoor activities, although the sea water can still be cold. This month is perfect for those who prefer to explore the island without crowds, enjoy hiking trails such as the Camí de Cavalls , or tour the Talayotic Menorca .

In addition, flight and car rental prices are more affordable compared to the summer months, making it an ideal month for those looking to save. During this month, Easter festivities are also celebrated, a unique opportunity to experience local traditions.

Visiting Menorca in June

June is one of the best months to visit Menorca. The weather is warm, the water temperature is pleasant and, best of all, the tourist rush of summer has not yet arrived. This month is ideal for enjoying the most famous beaches, such as Cala Macarella or Cala Mitjana , without the crowds. In addition, one of the most emblematic festivals of the island is celebrated in June: Sant Joan . On June 24, the streets of Ciutadella are filled with horses and riders in a unique spectacle, accompanied by music and the traditional pomada (gin and lemonade).
