How transfer times vary across Menorca
Menorca Airport (MAH) is located just a few kilometres from Mahón, on the eastern side of the island. This means that transfers to Mahón, Sant Climent, Es Castell and Sant Lluís are usually among the quickest.
Destinations in central Menorca, such as Alaior, Es Mercadal, Ferreries and Es Migjorn Gran, are generally between 15 and 30 minutes from the airport.
Reaching Ciutadella and resorts in the far west, such as Cala Blanca, Cala Morell, Cala’n Forcat and Cala’n Bosch, takes longer because the journey crosses a large part of the island.
