Alayor is located on the eastern side of Menorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands, situated in the Mediterranean Sea. The town sits inland but is just a short drive away from Menorca’s stunning coastline, making it easy for visitors to enjoy both the peaceful countryside and the island’s renowned beaches. Alayor is well-connected to other parts of Menorca, with Mahón, the island’s capital, only about 12 kilometers away. The town enjoys a scenic setting amidst gentle hills and rolling landscapes, offering visitors sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.
Menorca enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, making Alayor an appealing destination year-round. The summer months, from June to September, are particularly popular, with temperatures averaging around 25-30°C (77-86°F), perfect for beachgoers and outdoor enthusiasts. However, the spring and autumn months, with slightly cooler temperatures and fewer tourists, are also ideal times to visit, especially for those who prefer a quieter experience. Winters are mild, with temperatures rarely dropping below 10°C (50°F), making Alayor an attractive destination for off-season travelers looking to escape harsher climates.
