Transport to and from the airport
The most useful public transport option is Bus Route 10, which connects the airport directly with Mahón's central bus station. At this station, you can connect to nearly all other lines that serve the island.
Bus Route 10 runs every 30 minutes during the day and every 1 hour in the early morning or late evening:
From the airport: from 5:55 AM to 0:15 AM (Jun to Sept) or 5:55 AM to 10:15 PM (Oct to May)
From Mahón Bus Station: 5:45 AM to 9:15 PM (Jun to Sept) or 5:45 AM to 7:15 PM (Oct to May).
The ticket costs 2.80 EUR, payable in cash to the driver.
During the summer season, there may be additional seasonal bus routes between the Airport and resort areas such as Cala en Porter, Son Bou, and Ciutadella, so you may not need to transfer in Mahón.
Alternatively, you can always get a taxi at the signed taxi rank outside Arrivals. Fares are fixed depending on the destination on the island and are a little higher during the night.
Rental cars are extremely popular. Menorca's beaches, coves, and rural attractions are spread across the island, so you may want to choose to drive rather than rely on the public buses. All rental car companies that operate in Menorca have stands in the Arrivals area of the airport. Rental prices vary considerably between the low and high seasons, as much as a 5 times difference.
Hotels near Menorca Airport
Because Menorca is a relatively small island, staying near the airport is rarely necessary. In most cases, you’d be best off if you stayed in Mahón and traveled to the airport just before your flight.
The nearest accommodations are small hotels and guesthouses, which can only be reached by private transport. For example, the Hotel Rural Biniati is a comfortable 3-star hotel in proximity to MAH.
