If you’re after a holiday that’s all about moving through landscapes rather than rushing between highlights, our 7-day active Menorca itinerary could be just the ticket. Designed for the island’s sweet-spot seasons – April, May and October – it makes the most of mild temperatures, quieter trails and long, light-filled days that are ideal for getting outdoors. Think hiking and biking paths that give way to panoramic views, shores that show off shimmering water and coastlines that stretch as far as the eye can see.  

This one’s for active types who prefer to explore at their own pace, swapping crowds for calm and discovering Menorca when it’s at its most comfortable, colourful and quietly spectacular... 

Day 1 

Time to get your bearings 
You’ve just touched down in Menorca, which means it’s time to get your bearings! A casual wander along the coastline is the easiest way to familiarise yourself, followed by a relaxing lunch in a sun-dappled square.  

Day 2 

Hike the Camí de Cavalls 
Now you’ve eased yourself into island life, it’s time to lace up your walking boots to take on the legendary Camí de Cavalls! You don’t have to tackle the whole thing – one section can be enough to appreciate its beauty, but with five days left, you’ll still have plenty of time to explore more. 

Today, begin in the small seaside village of Es Grau and explore a beautiful section of the Albufera des Grau Natural Park. This shorter circular walk winds through coastal paths and wondrous wetlands, with sweeping sea views and peaceful lagoons along the way. 

Keep an eye out for birdlife as you pass open fields and shimmering waters, before looping back towards the coastline. Finish back in Es Grau, where you can relax on the sandy beach, and maybe even enjoy a refreshing post-walk dip! 

Day 3  

Take to two wheels
Same path, different rhythm! Yep, the routes and trails of this stunning island are certainly versatile. Why not take to two wheels today for the chance to cover more ground? Trails vary from gentle tracks to rugged terrain, meaning you can tailor the route to your confidence level. Switch it up today and head inland, where you’ll find peaceful farmland, shaded woodland paths and long stretches where the only sounds are birdsong and the crunch of gravel beneath your tyres. 

Day 4  

Kayak the coast
Fancy front row seats (or kayaks) to hidden gems on Menorca’s coastline? Look no further! On the south coast, it’s all glassy waters and strings of sheltered coves that almost seem tailor-made for kayaking adventures. The north is raw and dramatic, with rugged cliffs, weather-sculpted rock formations and rust-coloured beaches that feel thrillingly wild from the water. If you’re new to it all, guided coastal trips are a brilliant introduction, combining easy routes with insider knowledge and access to hidden spots you’d never find alone. 

Day 5  

Paddleboarding
Ready for day two on the water? We thought so. It’s time to slow down the pace today on a paddleboard. Early mornings are best if you like to keep things peaceful – at this time, the sea is calm and the coastline feels almost deserted. If you opt for an early start, you’ll have the rest of the day to stretch out on the beach, browse a local market or dive straight back into the island’s food scene with a lazy lunch that stretches right into the evening. Ahh, bliss. 

Day 6  

Practise your swing
Even with just one course, Menorca proves that quality beats quantity. Golf Son Parc is a joy for golfers of every level with its 18 holes, dense forest surroundings and views of Monte Toro. It’s open 365 days a year, but April, May and October are the ideal times to play here, when the weather is warm and the summer crowds have faded and the fairways are bathed in golden autumn light. The welcoming clubhouse will be waiting at the end, ready to provide you with a post-game drink on the terrace and panoramic views.  

Day 7 

Spend the day snorkelling
So, you’ve ticked off a smorgasbord of exciting activities, but you’ve still got time left for one last seafront adventure? Sounds like it’s time to go snorkelling! Menorca’s clear waters and rocky seabeds make it a fantastic spot for spotting magnificent marine life, especially in sheltered bays where visibility is second to none. Even beginners can spot shoals of fish darting between rocks just below the surface. As the sun begins to set, settle down by the shore for a memorable farewell to the island.
