When the summer bustle fades and the tourists return to their routines, Menorca breathes again. October is not the end of the season, but its true beginning for those who know how to enjoy the island without haste.
Living in Menorca in October means discovering its most genuine beauty: a balance of golden light, calm seas and peaceful nights in Mahón, where wine, conversation and good food are savoured without a clock.
A perfect climate for outdoor living
October is the ideal month to live in Menorca. Days average around 22–25 °C, and the evenings bring a gentle breeze that invites you to stroll through the old town or dine on a softly lit terrace.
The autumn light paints the walls and fields in golden tones, and the beaches, almost empty, become havens of silence. Walking, reading, chatting or simply gazing at the sea regain their full meaning.
