«There is no such thing as good weather or bad weather. There is only climate and your attitude towards it.»
At SonneVillas, we wholeheartedly embrace this saying. However, we understand that a rainy day in Menorca can be quite frustrating if you don’t have alternative plans to the typical «sun and beach» routine that we all love. But Menorca offers so much more than that! Here are some suggestions for those «not-so-great» days.
1. Explore the Streets of Ciutadella
We highly recommend visiting this charming city, steeped in noble tradition. Strolling through its streets, passing by Ses Voltes, discovering its cathedral, and exploring the various stately palaces in the old town of Ciutadella is a true delight. The city boasts a fantastic culinary scene and plenty of shopping opportunities.

2. Mahón and the Isle of the King
The capital of Menorca is definitely worth a visit. Enjoy its spectacular natural harbor, explore the historic center, visit the renowned Xoriguer Gin distillery, the Fish Market, Es Claustre, the Menorca Museum, and much more. Don’t miss the chance to visit the Isle of the King in Mahón’s harbor—a fascinating place where you can enjoy a piece of the island’s history that will transport you back in time.
3. Discover Menorca’s Talayotic Heritage
We recommend visiting some of the numerous Talayotic sites scattered across Menorca. Many people are unaware of this part of the island’s historical heritage. Notable sites include Naveta des Tudons, the Son Catlar settlement, Torrellafuda, Trepucó, and the impressive Torre d’en Galmés.
4. Visit a Menorcan Farm
Did you know that Menorca has its own designation of origin for cheeses? That’s right—the prestigious Mahón-Menorca cheese! A great way to make the most of those not-so-sunny days is to visit an authentic Menorcan farm («lloc») that produces cheese. At places like Subaida, you can learn firsthand how they make their cheeses, see the farm’s operations, meet the animals, taste the cheese, and even purchase some of their wonderful products.

5. Líthica – The S’Hostal Quarries
Líthica is a site of old marés quarries converted into an emblematic place and a space for artistic and cultural activities. Due to the work of the stonemasons over many years, the site has acquired a particular and unique landscape that is well worth a visit.
6. Visit some of the most emblematic lighthouses in Menorca
It is during bad weather days that lighthouses acquire greater beauty and magnetism. They blend into the natural landscape and take on greater meaning than ever. During those days is when lighthouses acquired greater meaning and we can put ourselves in the shoes of what they meant to ancient navigators.
7. Just relax!
It is common that during the holidays we want to make a lot of plans and visit as many places as possible. But it is also a good time to disconnect, slow down our high pace of life and give our body and mind a break. Sometimes doing nothing is also okay.
These days can also be ideal to relax by reading a good book, getting up late, meditating, doing yoga, visiting a spa, having a massage or treatment, walking through the countryside and ultimately relaxing in the best way you know how.
We hope that these plans for a rainy day in Menorca have been useful. Remember that in life, no matter how long the storm, the sun always shines again through the clouds.
