About Hotel La Quinta Resort & Spa

An exclusive hotel 400 metres from the beach and designed in an appealing colonial design with a fantastic outdoor pool and surrounded by over an acre of garden and sun terrace. A great complex offering a restaurant, bar, 2 conference rooms and a spa centre specialising in health and beauty treatments.

At La Quinta you will find contemporary art from various artists; in the spa you can admire fresco paintings from Carde Reimerdes, paintings from Adam Pete and Bettina Nuschei light up the common areas. In the garden: 'Totem', spectacular sculpture on mares (kind of rock) by the French artist Laetitia Lara. In 2007 they are planning to hold an exhibition of the local artist Nuria Román.

Aquarock Menorca (1.2 km) - show on map

Aquatic fun for everyone, attractions include the famous kamikaze slide, plus (on a drier note!) there are go-karts, trampolines, mini golf and video games. Pricing details and further information can be found at www.menorcaaquarock.com

Cala Blanca (5.6 km) - show on map

Worthy of note only for the fact that, as a beach, it has been completely dwarfed by the development around it! Cala Blanca is probably not a beach to visit by itself, the attraction is the development of restaurants and holiday facilities around it.

Museu Municipal de Ciutadella (8.5 km) - show on map

Originally built as a fortress, the Bastio de Sa Font was renovated as a museum in the mid 1990's. Thanks to many archaeological excavations, the museum can tell the history of the island from Pre-Talaiotic, through to Muslim times. Collections include Iron Age skulls, Roman coins and jewellery.

Naveta des Tudons (9.4 km) - show on map

The oldest roofed building in Spain and an ancient burial site (naveta meaning burial chamber) that yielded over 100 corpses during excavations in the 1950s. Admission is free.

Trotting races (9.8 km) - show on map

A popular sport in the Balearics for over 200 years, trotting races are held at weekends both in Mahon and Ciutadella. The jockey must prevent the horse from breaking into a gallop, hence the name "trotting". Great to watch but even better if you place the winning bet!
