Punta Prima
Punta Prima is a pleasant holiday area in the municipality of Sant Lluís, on the southern coast of Minorca, just 8.5 miles from the airport and the port of Mahon, the island’s capital. The area has different restaurants and supermarkets as well as a wide range of water sports to enjoy on its beaches.
The beach
The beach at Punta Prima, also known as Sandy Bay, is one of the 5 beaches in Minorca which boasts a Blue Flag. With white sands and crystal clear waters, it is the main beach in the municipality of Sant Lluís, whose coastline is considered to be one of the island’s main attractions. Located just a 5-minute walk from the apartments, it is also a short walk away from small pristine coves or the picturesque town of Binibeca.
Illa de l’Aire
Facing Punta Prima Beach, 1300 yds. away, is Illa de l’Aire, an islet (the second largest in Minorca) with a lighthouse which dates back to 1860. Illa de l’Aire is home to an endemic species, the so-called sargantana negra, Minorca’s black lizard.
Places of interest
The apartments are located just 500 yds. from the Tower of Son Gaxo, an old defence tower located in the so-called Horse’s Way (Camí de Cavalls), a 114-mile trail that goes around the island which was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and part of the Spanish Historical Heritage. Nearby, you can also find the Splash Sur Menorca water park (0.9 miles), Sant Lluís (3.7 miles) and Mahon (6 miles).
