HYB Sea Club ★★★★

For those who take the trouble to venture to the extreme west coast of Spain, a visit to the city of Ciutadella in Menorca is sure to be its own reward.  The history of this city can be traced back to 123 AD and the Roman era. During this time, the city was a vital point of defence for the west coast. Today much of the old town is encircled by the ‘Contramurada’ which has taken the place of the original city walls. Ciutadella is the closest point to the island of Majorca and on clear days, the Majorcan coast is clearly visible from the port.

Located just 10 minutes by car from Ciutedella, the HYB Sea Club **** offers the one key element missing from Ciutadella’s attractions – a beach!  The resort is perched high on a cliff top overlooking the sea and a postcard perfect sunset is almost guaranteed every night. All the apartments here have glorious views of the sea and the expansive pool is not one, but three separate treats.

All the rooms are furnished in an apartment style and have a cosy balcony and private bathrooms. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything required to transform a holiday into a longer stay. Food is also readily available at the hotel’s excellent restaurant which also has a children’s menu, vegetarian, and gluten free dining options. Menorcan cuisine with a focus on local wines, fish and seafood will refresh even the most tired palette.

So head off to sunny Spain, and take a dip in history and the joys of a small town, enjoying the timeless friendship of the sun and sea.
