Es Grau & S'Albufera Menorca 2027: Beach, Wetlands & Illa d'en Colom

·3 min

Es Grau on Menorca's north-east coast is a small fishing village inside the S'Albufera des Grau natural park — the core of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Es Grau beach

200-m crescent of fine sand, shallow water 80 m out — Menorca's safest family beach. No sunbeds (protected area), bring your own umbrella. Two small chiringuitos.

S'Albufera des Grau wetlands

The largest lagoon in the Balearics, 70 hectares. Two free walking trails from the village (1 h and 2 h loops) past observation hides — flamingos, herons, ospreys, turtles. Visitor center 9:00-15:00.

Illa d'en Colom (swim there or boat)

The island visible from the beach, 200 m offshore. Strong swimmers can swim across in 15 min (no boat traffic, but check currents). Or take the small ferry (5 €, hourly 10:00-17:00 in summer). Two beaches on the island, no facilities.

Cami de Cavalls passes through

Stage 11 of the coastal path starts at Es Grau — walk 2 h north to Cala Tortuga for total solitude.

Stay in a villa in Es Grau or Maó 15 min away.

What to consider before you book

  • Actual sleeping capacity, not the number of sofa beds.
  • Distance and transfer time to the marina and the nearest beach club.
  • Concierge extras: chef, masseur, DJ in villa, security.
  • Cancellation period and what triggers a refund.

Please provide us with your dates and group size, and we will send you a proposal with two or three suitable villas and yachts on the same day.
