Villa rentals are perfect for a romantic getaway with your partner - and one destination that offers the sun, sea and sand to go with this type of accommodation is the Balearic island of Menorca. Menorca provides an unbeatable combination of relaxation, water sports, hiking, historical attractions, great food and bustling nightlife to create an ideal holiday with a loved one, catering for a range of tastes and interests in the process. The island offers a more laidback atmosphere than its neighbour, Mallorca, which tends to be a bit busier and livelier. It has a coastline measuring 216 km long that is dotted with sandy coves and rugged terrain and surrounded by some amazingly clear blue waters. If you fancy heading into the sea, there are various water sports that could tempt you to do so. Waterskiing, sailing and windsurfing are available, as is diving, which is particularly popular among visitors to Menorca thanks to the breathtaking array of marine life than can be found in the area. Indeed, Menorca has been designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, meaning that it is recognised for its innovation in the areas of conservation and sustainable development. As a result, you can also expect to see some particularly beautiful stretches of countryside while on villa holidays in Menorca, with this terrain being ideal for hiking, horse riding and excursions in a rental car. If you want to take in some historical attractions while in Menorca, you will find a host of museums that can tell you more about the island's past. The Museo de Menorca is the main museum to visit, but for a different experience you might also want to add a trip to the open air Cap de Cavalleria Ecomuseum to your itinerary. Other sights include the historic town of Ciudadela and fishing villages that still rigidly stick to age-old traditions and customs, as well as prehistoric sites such as the Naveta des Tudons megalithic area and various points of interest at Mahon. Food lovers will be in their element in Menorca - the island's seafood is excellent and some popular local dishes include monkfish steaks and lobster stew, as well as non-fishy delicacies such as aubergines stuffed with rice, meat, spices and tomatoes, among other fillings. Other highlights for couples staying in villas in Menorca include the casino for a special night on the town and a host of piano bars and clubs to round off the perfect day.
