Menorca – the Trending Balearic Hotspot for 2025
While Menorca was once the lesser-known Balearic island, this has changed over the last few years. This un-sung destination has been popping up in luxury magazines and Conde Nast Traveller recently ranked it as one of the best European islands to visit, ranking it above Mallorca (Ibiza was still ranked higher at No. 2, beaten to the top spot by Sardinia).
This relatively undiscovered island has become another Mediterranean hotspot for those looking for a new Balearic experience. Brimming with historic fincas, art galleries, and unspoiled coves, it is easy to see why nature enthusiasts, retreat lovers and fashionistas are booking their flights.
With good flight accessibility and an alluring climate, Menorca should now be on your radar when considering a destination wedding or event. Here are some of our current favourites:

Torre Vella
Stripped back Balearic luxury – Torre Vella is a reflection of the island’s wild and preserved nature, sandy beaches and crystal waters.
