Hotels in Punta Prima

Punta Prima

Punta Prima is a small, sun-drenched beach resort on the south-eastern tip of Menorca, blessed with a beautiful sandy beach that offers one of the island's most distinctive views — a panoramic outlook across turquoise waters to the uninhabited Illa de l'Aire and its iconic black-and-white striped lighthouse. The beach is a generous arc of golden sand with gentle, shallow waters perfect for families, and the view of the lighthouse island on the horizon gives it a character quite unlike any other beach on Menorca. A handful of hotels and apartment complexes are grouped around the beach, along with several beachfront restaurants and bars that make the most of the south-facing sunshine and the spectacular views. Punta Prima's position on the south-eastern corner of the island means it catches the morning sun early and enjoys some of the warmest and calmest swimming conditions on Menorca. The resort is conveniently located just ten minutes from the airport and fifteen minutes from the capital Mahon, making it an easy choice for travellers who want to be on the beach within minutes of landing. The Cami de Cavalls coastal path connects Punta Prima to the neighbouring resort of S'Algar to the west and the wild headland of Cap d'en Font to the east, offering scenic walking along low cliffs and through coastal scrubland. Diving enthusiasts prize the waters around Punta Prima and the Illa de l'Aire for their exceptional visibility, underwater caves, and the chance to spot rare Lilford's wall lizards on the island — a species found nowhere else in the world.
