Collect sunsets with this guide to the best spots to enjoy them. Every day, the island offers a unique and unforgettable show.

Sunset in Menorca is one of the most special moments of the day. Whether you're with your partner, friends, or on your own, watching the sun dip below the horizon as the sky turns orange, pink, and golden is a memory that stays with you forever.

If you're planning your holidays and wondering where to watch the sunset in Menorca, we’ve made it easy for you. We’ve selected six unique places that blend nature, privileged views, and that special magic that fills the island at the end of the day.

 

1. Cavalleria Lighthouse or Punta Nati: sunsets with a Mediterranean vibe

Lighthouses in Menorca don’t just guide sailors—they’re also silent witnesses to some of the most beautiful sunsets in the Mediterranean. Two must-sees:

Cavalleria Lighthouse: in the north, surrounded by cliffs and wild sea.

Punta Nati: close to Ciutadella, with a dry, lunar-like landscape that makes the sunset even more striking.

Both offer wide open spaces—perfect for sitting down, breathing, and letting yourself be carried away by the vast horizon. In high season, access by car to Punta Nati is restricted, with a shuttle bus available for easy access. Cavalleria is also regulated to preserve the natural surroundings.

 

2. Pont d’en Gil: a natural arch to frame the sunset

This spot near Ciutadella is one of those breathtaking Menorcan landscapes. Pont d’en Gil is a natural rock bridge stretching out over the sea, framing the sunset like a living postcard. You can walk there from Cala’n Blanes or, for an even more special experience, take a boat and sail underneath the arch at sunset.

 

3. Cala Morell: cocktail in hand or views from the cliffs

If you're in the mood to mix relaxation, views, and a great atmosphere, Cala Morell is one of the most special places to enjoy the sunset in Menorca. You can watch it from one of the terraces overlooking the sea, or find a quiet spot on the cliffs surrounding the cove. Good music, an open horizon, and the sound of the waves—the perfect plan to toast with whoever you choose.

 

4. Monte Toro: the island at your feet

Prefer a higher vantage point? Monte Toro, the highest point in Menorca (358 m), offers a 360º panoramic view. From here, you can watch the sun touch the entire island as it disappears beyond the horizon. On clear days, you can even spot the mountains of Mallorca. A must-stop on your sunset route.

 

5. Castell de Sant Nicolau: history and sea

This former defensive tower in Ciutadella is also one of the best places to watch the sunset in Menorca. From its walls, you can see the sun set behind the Sa Farola lighthouse as the sky bursts into colour. A historic spot with lots of charm to end the day.

 

6. From the sea: sunset by kayak

One of the most unique ways to experience sunset in Menorca is from the sea. From ARTIEM Audax, we’ll guide you to the best routes and hidden corners to explore the southern coast by kayak. Picture yourself paddling to a quiet cove, letting the sun do its magic… and just soaking in the moment. A living postcard you won’t forget.

 

Beach clubs and ARTIEM-style sunsets

Menorca also offers special spots where you can enjoy the sunset from the comfort of a beach club. Barefoot in the sand, drink in hand, with great music in the background—it’s easy to lose yourself in the moment. Scattered around the island, these venues combine Mediterranean vibes, great food, and privileged views to say goodbye to the day calmly… and start the night on the right foot.

And if you’re staying at ARTIEM Carlos or ARTIEM Audax, you won’t need to go far to enjoy an unforgettable sunset:

  • At ARTIEM Carlos, the terraces overlooking the Port of Maó offer magical light every evening.

  • At ARTIEM Audax, the sun sets over the calm waters of Cala Galdana, accompanied by live music or a sunset cocktail.

And if your stay coincides with a full moon, Audax hosts special events with good music, a laid-back atmosphere, and plenty of magic.
