If you are trying to discern where to stay in Menorca you may doubt arises whether it is better to stay in the countryside in one of its beautiful countryside or farmhouses or, conversely, whether it is better to stay near one of its wonderful beaches. The truth is any of the options is valid and that the ideal for a holiday in Menorca, is to rent a car and to go and discover the landscapes, calas and beaches, restaurants and some of its museums.
 
The best beaches and best beach hotels are located in the southern part of the island, sheltered from storms and winds that hit the north coast. The most popular beaches are Cala Galdana, Cala en Porte, Sant Tomas and Son Xoriguer. The interior has a short supply of agrotourism hotels or homes, so if you don't book ahead, you may not find place to stay. The main towns in the interior are Ferreries and Es Mercadal but lodgings can be found scattered throughout the island and some of them near the coast.
