Location and surroundings of Sant Lluís
Sant Lluís is a charming municipality located in the southeast of Menorca, a few kilometers from the capital, Maó. Founded by the French in the 18th century during their brief occupation of the island, the village preserves a characteristic urban structure with straight streets and whitewashed houses. Its privileged location makes it an ideal destination for those seeking the tranquility of the Menorcan countryside without renouncing the proximity of the sea and essential services.
Heritage and culture
The municipality is home to various elements of historical and cultural interest, such as the church of Sant Lluís, which gives its name to the village, and the famous windmill of Moli de Dalt, symbol of the municipality and today converted into a small ethnographic museum. The local culture is very present in their festivities, highlighting the festivities in honor of Sant Lluís in August, where Minorcan horses are the protagonists of impressive equestrian exhibitions.
Beaches and natural environment
Sant Lluís has some of the most beautiful and popular beaches on the island, such as the idyllic Binibeca, known for its crystal clear waters and picturesque fishing village, and Punta Prima, with its wide white sandy beach and views of the Isla del Aire lighthouse. Other coves such as Alcaufar and Binisafua offer quieter and more family-friendly environments. In addition, the area is perfect for enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling, with routes through rural landscapes dotted with dry stone walls and typical Menorcan farmland.
