Maó (Mahón)

Maó is the capital of Menorca and the island’s administrative centre. It looks out over a natural harbour more than five kilometres long, which has shaped both its character and its history.

Living in Maó

The old town, perched on the cliff top, is home to grand British-influenced townhouses, long-established shops and the city’s social life. Further inland and towards the outskirts lie newer residential neighbourhoods with flats, terraced houses and villas.

It is the best-served area on the island: the hospital, the airport just minutes away, secondary schools, a year-round cultural programme and ferry links to mainland Spain. That is why it appeals both to people who live in Menorca all year and to those looking for a second home with everything close at hand.

Good to know

  • A wide variety of homes: flats in the centre, townhouses, terraced houses and villas on the outskirts.
  • Hospital, airport and passenger port just minutes away.
  • An active property market all year round, not just in season.

Before buying in Maó

Alongside the type of home, consider the distance to the services you need throughout the year, access and the maintenance the property requires. In coastal areas, check the level of activity outside the summer season and any development or community charges.

Documents and renovation possibilities vary from one property to another. Before committing, check the Land Registry and planning position and obtain technical or legal advice when the condition, age or location makes it advisable.
