Holiday’s are good for your health. Especially in a Menorca.
In this laid back island in perfect harmony with nature you will
find
plenty of places to relax your mind and massage your body.
Beauty treatments, holistic therapies, health spas, hair and nail
centres… everything from the conventional to new age.
Did you know?
• We are told that some locals smear their bodies with the unusually
red coloured sand at Cala Cavalleria. Then lie in the sun until it
bakes dry. They claim it is wonderful for the skin.
• At dusk, some of the younger locals climb to the top of an ancient
stone Talaiot to sit and meditate, or play guitars or bongos to
accompany the setting sun.
• The world’s oldest man came from Menorca. Joan Riudavets died
at the ripe old age of 114 in 2004 from natural causes.

Top Tips:
Wherever you go always take plenty of bottled water, especially
on the beach in summer. Regular sips are better than long drinks for
good hydration.
Do as the locals do on hot summer days and take a long lunch followed by a longer siesta in the afternoon.
There
are good Health and Beauty Spa's in many main towns. Some are privately
run and some within hotels such as those at Set Hotels in
Mahon, Cuitadella and Santo Tomas.
Two
of the reasons why people live long healthy lives in this part of the
world has to be the diet and lifestyle. Plenty of fresh fruit, olive
oil, fish and red wine. Plus, all the lovely sunshine 320 days of the
year. Salud.
