Alley of white houses and a boat pulled up in Binibeca Vell

Charming places · Sant Lluís

Binibeca Vell

A cluster of white houses in the style of a fishing village, built by the sea in the 1960s. Its alleys are among the most photographed in Menorca.

A village that is a development

Although it looks like an old village, Binibeca Vell was designed in 1964 imitating the architecture of Mediterranean fishing villages: whitewashed walls, wooden doors and windows and narrow passages.

The houses are private homes, so the community asks visitors to come quietly and within the permitted hours.

Nearby

Five minutes on foot is Binibèquer beach, with the Los Bucaneros beach bar, and ten minutes by car, Punta Prima.
