A solid investment for your purse and your health

Apart from providing spectacular seascapes and a brilliant natural medium for so many different sports and activities, it is well documented that living near the sea has a positive effect on your mental well-being and general health, and you don’t need to be an Olympian to reap the benefits. Homes by the sea are coveted assets and a longed-for possession for most, rest at ease with your investment and test out the water with one of the many activities/ sports to be enjoyed. Beit walking in the sea and sand, yoga on the beach, flying a kite, sailing, surfing, swimming, diving or kayaking, etc., or just sit drinking in the sounds and smell of the waves. 

Seawater is rich in iodine, and when we bathe or swim, all important trace elements of iodine are absorbed by our bodies, and helps the essential production and function of thyroid hormones. Another very pleasant means of getting enough iodine is through seafood, fish, vegetables and herbs and Menorca is THE place to be for delicious, fresh food and fish from the sea. Two traditional dishes that you should definitely try whenever you get the chance are the celebrated “caldereta de langosta”, a lobster stew, and “calamar farcit”, spicy stuffed squid. Wherever you decide to buy your house Minorca, most likely you will have a quality restaurant nearby that will become a family favourite.

Owning a home in Menorca means enjoying around 11 hours of sunshine a day during the summer months, beautiful rolling landscapes and sparkling sea views, which if not immediately apparent will not be very far away. Whether your holiday home is an apartment/ flat, finca or townhouse or villa, you will get to discover Menorca’s diversity. The 216 kilometres of coastline alone provide excellent seawater quality, wild and rocky landscapes on the north coast dotted with some beautiful isolated beaches/ coves, while the south coast is home to most of the island's white sand beaches and turquoise waters. The beauty of the maritime landscape, the sea breeze and ozone and the calming rhythmic sound of the waves work wonders for a busy mind, helping to relax and sleep easy. 

Menorca and all her many assets promise an excellent, high-quality lifestyle, and has always drawn property investors, a good investment on the island is solid for private buyers, speculators and professional or company investors. The last Balearic rental law has greatly reduced the number of properties that can lawfully do holiday rentals on the island, therefore owning a property on your favourite Island becomes much more enticing and better still if it has the coveted holiday rental licence (ETV) and can earn a return on investment during the weeks it is not being used privately.
