Sant Lluís
Spend a half‑day in Sant Lluís for the beach, church and wind‑mill; add a night if you want a relaxed seaside base.
Sant Lluís is a small coastal town on Menorca’s south‑east tip, 5 km from Maó. Its main attractions – the neoclassical church, Es Moli de Dalt wind‑mill and nearby beaches – are within walking distance, so a half‑day covers the highlights. One night adds a relaxed seaside stay and easy access to Punta Prima and Cala Blanc.
