Setting

THE SURROUNDING AREA
The villa is located in the residential area of Binisafua Playa, on the south/southwest coast, close to several small beaches and coves with spectacular turquoise waters:
• Calo Blanc – 400 m
• Binisafuller Playa (sandy beach) – 400 m
• Also reachable by foot or bike: Binibeca beach and the picturesque fishing village of Binibeca Vell
• Sant Lluis, a charming town with all services, is just a few minutes by car

This area is home only to beautiful villas — no hotels or mass tourism — making it popular with both locals and international VIPs. Despite being close to Mahon Airport (approx. 4 km as the crow flies), flights do not operate at night. If you’re very sensitive to airplane noise, however, we suggest considering a different area.

The UNESCO-listed "Cami de Cavalls" is just 100 meters away — perfect for walking to Calo Blanc, or for long hikes through protected nature areas, reaching fjord-like inlets such as Binidali and Biniparratx.
Menorca is a peaceful island ideal for family-friendly tourism, with a strong commitment to environmental protection (both land and marine parks).
It also offers archaeological sites, hiking trails, and sport activities.
Check out the website run by Vanessa at "Trails of Menorca" (trailsofmenorca.com) for great outdoor ideas.

-Local Highlights-
• Binibeca Vell (20 mins walk): shops, restaurants, charming atmosphere for pleasant evenings
• Club Nautico restaurant, on the path to Binibeca Vell, is located in old boat houses – a unique setting
• Pizzeria Opera and Italian café-bar MonaLisa offer excellent food and are just 200 m from the villa
• Mahon: a lively, beautiful city just 15 minutes by car
• For cooking at home, head to Sa Botiga De S’Uestra on the road to Sant Lluis — a traditional Menorcan grocery store in charming old buildings, offering great local meat, cheese, and produce

We won’t deny it — we are truly in love with our Villa El Olivo.
Waking up to breakfast on the romantic sea-view balcony, or all together at the kitchen counter, enjoying an aperitif by the pool with soft music and greenery all around... it’s simply a joy.
We believe we’ve told you (almost) everything about Villa El Olivo.

To us, it’s a magical place — and we hope it will become the same for you.
Now it’s time to plan your next holiday at our home (check below for availability), which will become a little bit yours too.
