The gorgeous, atmospheric Deluxe Santa Monica is one of the oldest farmhouses in Menorca. With six dreamy bedroom suites, a wonderful choice of entertainment spaces and sensational grounds, this fabulous villa is perfect for a large family or group of friends. Situated in the beautiful countryside in Es Migjorn Gran, this charming country villa is totally private and very secluded. Deluxe Santa Monica enjoys fantastic panoramic views across the unspoilt countryside towards the sea.

It is the perfect place to relax, enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Menorca and visit all of the island’s delightful beaches. An ancient path from the villa leads you through wild fennel to one of the island’s ancient talaiots. The villa is a wonderful access point for walks to remote beaches such as Cala Fustram, Cala Escorxada and Playa Bini Gaus. You will feel as though you are in the real Menorca with old men gathering in the village and at the cafes to shake their heads at the new things in the world.

Rural Location
Located in the charming Es Migjorn Gran area of Menorca, Deluxe Santa Monica enjoys a wonderful plot, sensational views and easy access to some very special beaches. This area is sprinkled with historical monuments and traces of the island’s long history. Very close to the villa is a talaiot, an ancient fortress with a small tunnel. The island’s talaiots were built around 3000 years ago for defence. The surrounding beautiful countryside features many rural paths, wonderful woods and beautiful valleys. Also close by is the gorgeous Bini Gaus Beach and an ancient cave the size of a cathedral. It can be accessed on foot from the top of the hill above the beach.
Santo Tomas is a delightful beach resort with an excellent beach, some very good restaurants, fabulous bars and clubs and Hawaiian style beach bars. You can enjoy Pomada’s watching the sun go down. They are made with Menorca’s own Xoriguer sloe gin, lemon Fanta, ice and lemon. The island’s coastal path Cami De Cavalls is a total wonder with access to beautiful sandy beaches, rocky diving pools and reefs resplendent with sea life.
One of Menorca’s older areas, Son Bou enjoys clubs, bars, swimming pools, restaurants and a golden stretch of sand.
Ciutedella is on the west coast and is known as ‘Vella I Belli’ (‘Old and Beautiful’). It is Menorca’s second city with a picturesque port and an engaging old quarter lined with grand gold-tinged buildings. The medieval streets are filled with palaces, churches and fortresses as well as wonderful restaurants and bars. Placa d’es Born is one of the most picturesque squares in Ciutedella. It is a delight to explore. Waterside dining can be found at the port. If you get there early enough you can watch the fishermen bringing in the local catch of the day. You can also catch a ferry from here to Alcudia in Mallorca. Ciutedella celebrates its local festival on 23 and 24 June each year and the party is one of the most spectacular festivals in Menorca.
The island’s picturesque capital Mahon is a lively city rich in history, culture and entertainment. Close to the Placa Espanya is the pretty 18th century Gothic Carme church. The 18th century Xoriguer Gin Distillery is definitely worth a visit and there are many cute shops selling leather, pottery and clothes. The early morning fish market is fascinating to walk through with its huge piles of colourful fish. Mahon is well known for its upmarket nightlife and waterfront bars and clubs.

Santo Tomas is situated in the municipality of es Migjorn Gran. It is just a stone's throw away from both Cala Galdana and Son Bou. This area has a very relaxing feel to the town, which feels more the way of a strip. It is ideal for couples and young families and has lots of entertainment at hotels and bars.

The town has a beautiful walk that surrounds the place and the beach of Santo Tomas. Undoubtedly, it's an excellent place to walk with the family. In addition, it has some children's parks, restaurants and pubs to enjoy a delicious cocktails.
Three beaches define Santo Tomas, San Adeodato beach, or Binicodrell, Sant Tomas beach, and Binigaus beach. This last one is the most famous as it used to be empty of people, and the turquoise waters are astonishing.
