Ferry from Mallorca to Menorca: a twin-island holiday
Mallorca or Menorca? Why not both?
Rather than choosing between them, treat yourself to the joy of discovering two Mediterranean worlds in one unforgettable trip. Taking the ferry from Mallorca to Menorca doesn’t just connect two destinations—it unites two rhythms, two landscapes, and two distinct island lifestyles. And the best part? They’re only a few nautical miles apart.
At PortBlue Hotels, we believe the best holidays aren’t always the furthest away—they’re the ones that blend variety, comfort and lasting memories. Here’s how to cross from one island to the other and turn your getaway into a two-part adventure.
Mallorca & Menorca: one Sea, two personalities
Mallorca welcomes you with vibrant energy: historic towns, endless beaches, lively markets, majestic mountains and hidden coves that will steal your heart at every turn.
Menorca, on the other hand, whispers tranquillity. It invites you along rural paths bordered by dry-stone walls, to swim in untouched coves and to savour its most authentic traditions—slowly, calmly.
What if you could experience both?
Picture this: breakfast in Palma overlooking the cathedral, a midday ferry crossing, and dinner in Ciutadella as the sun sets over the harbour. That easy. That magical.
How to travel between islands: the ferry
🔹 From Alcúdia to Ciutadella
- Duration: 1 to 1.5 hours
- Operators: Baleària, Trasmed, Menorca Lines
- Frequency: several sailings daily
- Best if: you’re staying in northern Mallorca or want a quick, efficient crossing
🔹 From Palma to Maó
- Duration: 5 to 6 hours
- Operator: Trasmed
- Frequency: one daily sailing (varies by season)
- Best if: you’re after a more relaxed journey into Menorca’s urban heart
Both routes allow you to bring your car, motorbike or bicycle—giving you total freedom to explore the islands without schedules.
Why combine both islands? The benefits of a twin-island holiday
- More variety, same comfort
From rugged mountains to hidden beaches, lively villages to sea caves—each island offers a different face of the Mediterranean, with the same soul.
- Two complementary atmospheres
Mallorca buzzes; Menorca soothes. One surprises with diversity, the other charms with simplicity. Together, they feel like two holidays in one.
- More culture, more flavour, more memories
From sobrasada to Mahón cheese, from Palma’s street art to ancient talayots, from the buzz of beach clubs to the silence of wild coves—the experiences just keep adding up.
- Ideal for families, couples or solo explorers
Mallorca brings variety and activities, while Menorca offers peace, nature and authenticity. A perfect balance, no matter your travel style.
