When you're looking for sun-kissed days, azure waters, and platters of mouth-watering tapas, Majorca and Menorca are some of the strongest contenders for a guaranteed beautiful break. But how to decide which idyllic island to opt for? Both boast secret coves, enticing lodgings, and curious Talayotic settlements. Let's take a look...

NEED TO KNOWS

Flight times to both Majorca and Menorca from the UK are similar and available with numerous airlines. Majorca is the larger of the two islands, with Menorca just one fifth of its size, but Menorca has around 80 more beaches than its sibling. So if lazy sandy days are your vice, Menorca might take the crown. If you'd prefer to discover more than one place on either island, a car is recommended. Navigating is relatively easy, although some villages can be tricky to pass through due to narrow roads.
