Ciutadella de Menorca

Ciutadella, the former capital, is Menorca's most monumental city: an old town of palaces and arcaded streets around the Gothic cathedral, a narrow, photogenic harbour and an atmosphere that does not fade in winter. The west adds what many are after: the white-sand beaches of the south — Son Xoriguer, Cala en Bosch — and family-friendly residential areas such as Cala en Blanes or Los Delfines a few minutes from the centre. The offer ranges from stately houses in the old town to flats and villas by the sea. If the west of the island is calling you, this is your page.

What is it like to live in Ciutadella all year round?
It is a city alive twelve months a year: local shops, the market, social life in the old town and full services. It is about 45 minutes by car from Maó and the airport, worth considering if you travel very frequently.

Which beaches are close to Ciutadella?
The developed ones of the west — Cala en Bosch, Son Xoriguer, Cala en Blanes — are under fifteen minutes away, and the unspoilt southern ones, such as Son Saura or Cala en Turqueta, barely half an hour. Few cities let you combine an old town and coves like this.

Is buying in Ciutadella's old town worth it?
If you are after character, it is unique: historic buildings, an unbeatable location and very limited supply that sustains value. It is worth checking the building's condition and renovation possibilities carefully; we support you with local technicians during the assessment.
