Alaior Holidays

The small, hillside town of Alaior is almost in the centre of Menorca and it’s approximately 10km to the nearest beaches at Son Bou and Cala en Porter.

There’s a Baroquesque sandstone church standing guard over narrow alleyways and white-washed, dark-shuttered houses and a charming village square with bars, cafes and restaurants. A park, next to the church, offers views of the surrounding countryside, dotted with windmills, where there are myriad pathways for walkers, hikers and cyclists.

There are local bus services to Mahon and to the beaches the sandy, curved bay at Cala en Porter and Menorca’s longest stretch of sand at Son Bou.
