The villa is within a couple of minutes stroll from bars, restaurants and a supermarket in one direction, and in the opposite, a similar very short stroll to access to the famous and iconic Cami de Cavalls.  This ancient but restored bridle path encircles virtually all of Menorca’s coastlines and passes through Menorca’s huge UNESCO designated Biosphere natural park, and the beautiful beachside village of Es Grau, an unspoilt traditional Menorcan fishing village.  This is a walkers, bikers and hikers, bird watchers and nature lovers paradise!   Within Addaia are places where you can hire bicycles, kayaks, paddle boards and boats, and the local dive school operates from the marina.  The local bar in the marina, The Cantina is the perfect spot for a sundowner or a casual meal and its reassuring proximity means you can watch your children from the villa as they pop in for an ice cream.

Addaia itself is a picturesque marina, home to many impressive yachts and motor cruisers and the villa is in the perfect spot to watch all the comings and goings of the boats.  Addaia is ideally located on the north coast, being less than a 5 minute drive to the wonderful beaches of Arenal den Castell, Na Macaret and Son Saura.  A 10 minute drive will take you to Playa Tirant, the beach of Playa de Fornells also on to Fornells itself, a historic and beautiful small town, marina and port, which provides a host of fine dining opportunities, bars, shops selling a wide range of artesian products, and breathtaking coastal views and walks (including the huge bay of Fornells).

Area:

Port Addaia in Menorca is a sheltered marina on the north east of the island. The large natural harbour inlet is surrounded by rugged farmland and beautiful meadows whilst the old tower of Torre d’Addaia dominates the entrance to the beautiful estuary.  The whole area is renowned for its beauty, beaches, scuba diving and bird watching with many country walks and cycling trails clearly signposted. Over the last few years Addaia has become an attractive area of quality residential properties built around the smart marina, home to private yachts and boats. One of the best sailing schools in the Mediterranean is in Fornells, just 15 minutes from Addaia.

Addaia has a few shops and restaurants as well as a very convivial small tapas bar/restaurant down on the harbour overlooking the water.  A scenic coastal footpath wends its way around Addaia with spectacular views out to sea and over to nearby Macaret. For those who like a little more life, the busier resort of Arenal d’en Castell is approximately 5 minutes by car, with its 650m of sandy beach where you will find bars and restaurants. If you like seafood, a trip to Fornells is a must!
