Holidays in Playa de Fornells
Playa de Fornells, situated on the northern coast of Menorca, is a smart new resort set around an attractive bay, with excellent watersports facilities and some of the best fish restaurants on the island. Established fairly recently, Playa de Fornells is a relative newcomer to the holiday market, yet offers a good choice of accommodation in a private development, just a few kilometers along the coast from the traditional working fishing village of Fornells. The atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful, and the resort of Playa de Fornells is a good choice for couples and families.
Holidays in Playa de Fornells – Great resort for watersports
Playa de Fornells sits on a hillside overlooking the Bay of Cala Tirant, with a lovely sandy beach at the base of the horseshoe-shaped bay. The waters of the bay are clear and shallow, providing a safe environment for swimming, although the north coast can get a little windy at the beginning and end of the season. Most of the apartments and villas of Playa de Fornells are ideally placed around the bay, and enjoy magnificent views out to sea. On the eastern side of the peninsula sits the Bay of Fornells, a huge expanse of sheltered water, and home to the picturesque harbour of Fornells. Here, conditions in the naturally protected bay are perfect for windsurfing, water-skiing and sailing, and Fornells offers tuition in all of these. The bustling harbour of Fornells is full of moored fishing vessels and private boats, and is a charming place to spend an afternoon, and just watch the world go by.
Holidays in Playa de Fornells – Famous for its’ fish restaurants
Playa de Fornells is a small yet self-contained holiday resort, with its’ own shops, bars and restaurants. The smart fishing village of Fornells is a brisk 20 minute walk along the cliffs, or a 5 minute drive, and here a number of highly recommended fish and seafood restaurants can be found, mostly located around the harbour. Fornells is a firm favourite with King Juan Carlos of Spain, who visits every year, docking his yacht in the harbour and sampling the local specialities, such as paella and lobster stew.
