San Luis (also known as Sant Lluís) is a town in the paradise island of Menorca, in the Balearic Islands. Founded during the brief rule of the French on the island, back in the 18th century, the town’s name is a tribute to Louis XV.

Who could resist the charm of Cala Rafalet, a small bay that will make you feel as if you were in heaven, surrounded by cliffs. You may recognise the area from a popular beer advertisement.
Other must-see beaches include Caló Blanc, Cala de Sant Esteve and Cala de Binissafúller, among others. Wherever you choose is sure to be an excellent choice due to the quality of the water and sand here, as well as the tranquillity you’ll enjoy there.

Top off yourpackage deal to San Luis with a trip to some monuments, such as the Neo-classical parish church. Built in the 18th century, it celebrates the French occupation of Menorca. Its beautiful white façade and bell tower can be found next to the town hall, in the heart of the town.
The Ethnological Museum is also worth a visit. The museum is located in an old windmill that was built in 1762, and that was in operation for 187 years until a strong storm destroyed several of the architectural elements and damaged the machinery. Inside you can see exhibitions with several instruments that were used long ago to work the field.
The town of San Luis is just 6 miles from Menorca airport. Public transportation is somewhat limited, so your best bet is to ask for directions once you land. A trip to San Luis is always a wise choice!
