A five-bedroom near the south-coast calas asks €10,000 a week in June and €32,000 in August. Menorca is the quiet Balearic, the one renters pick when Mallorca and Ibiza feel too loud, and it prices 20 to 30 percent below them for the same house. The catch is a short, fierce August peak and a north coast that the tramuntana wind can rough up. The full structure, by coast and week.

The number that matters first: €3,500 to €110,000 per week. The floor is a four-bedroom inland in low season, and the ceiling is a staffed estate above a south-coast cala in peak August. Menorca is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which is why it has stayed lower-rise and quieter than its Balearic neighbours, and the development limits keep good villa stock genuinely scarce in August.
August is the single peak, the first three weeks tightest, and the rates ease quickly into a warm September. Four things move a Menorca quote, in order: the coast, the week, the bedroom count, and the proximity to a swimmable cala. The south coast, with its sandy bays, sits above the rockier, windier north.
Indicative weekly rates in euros. Low season is roughly November to April. Shoulder is May, June, and September. August is the single peak. The south-coast calas sit at the top of each band, the inland and rural north at the floor.
| Villa size | Low season | Shoulder | August (peak) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 bedrooms | €3,500 to €7,000 | €6,000 to €13,000 | €11,000 to €22,000 |
| 5 bedrooms | €5,500 to €11,000 | €8,000 to €20,000 | €18,000 to €35,000 |
| 6 bedrooms | €9,000 to €18,000 | €16,000 to €32,000 | €28,000 to €55,000 |
| 7+ bedrooms | €16,000 to €32,000 | €30,000 to €58,000 | €50,000 to €110,000+ |
Bands reflect the south calas near Binibeca and Cala Galdana, the Mahón and Es Castell waterfront, and the rural north, May 2026. The seven-bedroom peak band sits on the south-coast frontage, the scarcest stock on the island.
Menorca runs north against south. The south coast, around Binibeca, Cala Galdana, and Son Bou, has the soft sandy calas, the calm water, and the family villas, and it carries the premium. The north, from Fornells round to Cap de Cavalleria, is rugged, dramatic, and exposed to the tramuntana wind, which keeps its rates lower.
Serviced accommodation in Spain carries 10 percent IVA, the reduced VAT rate. On a €32,000 August week that is €3,200. As on the mainland, some private owners let on a residential basis where IVA does not apply, so confirm whether a quote is gross or net before you set two villas side by side.
Menorca, like the rest of the Balearics, charges a sustainable tourism tax (the eco-tax) on top of the rate. It runs by season and accommodation category, reaching up to €4 per adult per night in high season plus 10 percent IVA, with a 50 percent reduction from the ninth night of a stay and a steep cut in the November-to-April low season. The Balearic government has announced higher summer rates for 2026, though the final figure was not set at the time of writing. For a party of ten adults on a peak week, budget roughly €280 to €310.
The south coast holds Menorca’s best swimming, the sandy calas of Binibeca, Cala Galdana, Macarella, and Son Bou, and the villas above them carry the top rates. A peak-August week on a south-coast frontage is the most expensive combination on the island, and the same villa in June costs close to half.
The north, around Fornells and the Cap de Cavalleria headland, is wilder and exposed to the tramuntana, and it rents for materially less. Inland estates, the old fincas in the island’s green centre, trade a sea view for space and run cheaper still. A group that will spend its days touring beaches by car does well to base inland.
Expect an end-of-stay cleaning fee of €300 to €700, and on staffed villas a 3 to 5 percent concierge charge. A private chef runs €320 to €520 per day plus food, a boat day along the south calas runs €700 to €1,800, and a refundable deposit of €2,500 to €18,000 is standard, returned within two weeks.
Each budget is the rate plus the fees that land on the invoice. In Menorca the line items add roughly 13 to 19 percent on top of the headline.

Three levers move the all-in cost on a Menorca week.
Take June or September. The same villa runs 30 to 40 percent below August, the sea is warm, and the calas are walkable again before the day-trippers arrive. The eco-tax also falls outside the peak-summer band, a small extra saving.
Base inland if you will tour the beaches anyway. Renters pay the south-cala frontage premium and then spend their days driving to a different beach each morning. An inland finca with a pool costs less and puts you central to both coasts.
Stay nine nights for the eco-tax cut. The Balearic eco-tax drops 50 percent from the ninth night of a continuous stay, so a ten-night booking trims the per-night tax on the back end. It is a small lever, but free.
From about €3,500 per week for a four-bedroom inland in low season to €110,000 or more for a peak-August estate on the south coast. Most quality five-bedrooms land between €8,000 and €20,000 per week in shoulder season and €18,000 to €35,000 in August.
Menorca charges a sustainable tourism tax of up to €4 per adult per night in high season plus 10 percent IVA, with a 50 percent reduction from the ninth night and a steep cut in low season. The Balearic government has announced higher summer rates for 2026.
The south coast, with its sandy calas at Binibeca, Cala Galdana, Macarella, and Son Bou. Villas above the south calas carry the top rates, while the rugged, tramuntana-exposed north coast and inland fincas rent for materially less.
Yes. Menorca prices 20 to 30 percent below Mallorca and Ibiza for a comparable villa, in part because its UNESCO Biosphere status has kept development and crowds lower.
June and the back half of September run 30 to 40 percent below August, with warm sea and quieter calas, and the eco-tax falls outside the peak-summer band.
