Binibeca, Binibeca Vell & Binisafua
Binibeca beach
Binibeca and Binifsafua are pretty towns at the eastern end of the south coast of Menorca, and the first holiday resorts on the island. They are in a prime locations to enjoy a string of beautiful sandy bays, rocky coves and a very small inlet for boats all lapped by cool, clear water for refreshing swimming.
Basically several little resorts. Binibeca Vell is similar to Portmeirion in Wales, brought to fame by the TV series ‘The Prisoner’. Binibeca Vell was designed by famous Catalan architect, Antonio Sintes, in the 70’s. Built to look like an old Mediterranean fishing village with a maze of narrow cobbled alleys, Moorish arches, whitewashed houses with sun-soaked patios, and a little harbour. It’s a quaint, quiet and laid-back place with shops, restaurants, bars and squash courts.
Binibeca Nou has a gorgeous, dune-backed, sandy beach with a pleasant beach bar and restaurant and sunbeds for an afternoon snooze.
Binibeca is suited to anybody wanting a quiet relaxing holiday
