'New Ibiza' with Jet2 flights from Liverpool John Lennon Airport

Liverpool will be connected to the Balearic island of Menorca when Jet2 arrives at John Lennon Airport.

Jet2 will start operating from the Speke-based next March, with 20 destinations on offer. Among these, seven will be new to the airport.

Menorca is one of the new destinations that Jet2 will fly to from Liverpool. Here, we look at what's on offer once you get to the island.

In April, The Times described Menorca as "the low-key island that's the 'new Ibiza' for the style set". It added: "Menorca, the most understated of the Balearics, is now the hottest place to holiday."

The second largest of the Balearic Islands, Menorca is known for a slower pace of life. With two hundred kilometres of shoreline, there are plenty of beautiful beaches falling into the clear blue Mediterranean sea.

On the south coast, the island's longest beach - Son Bou - stretches for almost three kilometres. With resorts nearby and shallow waters, it is popular with families.

The bay at Cala Galdana is also a popular spot. Known for its golden sand and pine trees, with a number of restaurants offering sea views, it is not to be missed.

Among the highlight attractions are vineyard tours, with nine wine producers based on the island.

Quad bike tours and kayaking around the coast are also great ways to see Menorca. However, a sailing trip around the island's coast and bays is most in keeping with the relaxed way of life.

On the West Coast, old town Ciutadella, with its medieval centre and 14th century cathedral, is not to be missed. Nor is the capital city of Mahon, which boasts charming cobbled lanes, military forts, harbour and British-style Georgian houses.

You can book return flights from Liverpool to Menorca for 2024 with Jet2 here. You can also fly to Menorca from Manchester with easyJet or fly with TUI to Mahon from a number of UK airports.
