Binibeca is a small fishing village on the south coast of Menorca. The village is one of the most photographed on the island thanks to its picture postcard images. It belongs to the district of Sant Lluís and is considered to be one of the most beautiful parts of the island. The urbanisation has a large number of supermarkets, gift shops, bars and leisure areas, which offer diverse possibilities, above all in the peak season. It is also very well known for its beach, the white sand and crystal clear waters.

Located in the southeast of Menorca, the district of Sant Lluís owes its name to the King of France, Louis XV. It was during a brief period of time in the 18th century, when the French dominated the island. Its legacy left us with the quiet village of white houses that today is Sant Lluís. In fact the streets and squares of the town maintain the layout established by the Count of Lannion, French governor of the island who had the responsibility of planning the layout of the town. Without doubt, the church and the Molí de Dalt are its most emblematic buildings.

Those who visit Menorca have stated that it is one of the paradises of the western Mediterranean, an island that history has always been an object of desire because of its strategic position and which now has ended up becoming one of the most attractive tourist destinations. However, it is not only a dream spot for holidays, but also for living. Menorca allows you to experience for yourself the quality of life that you had always imagined, through the combination of small details that make up its landscape, people, tranquillity, light, traditions and fine food.
