What's the weather like in Menorca in August?
Hot! But beautiful...If you aren't a fan of the heat then perhaps August should be avoided? However we love the heat and as my children get older, they are absolutely fine with it too. What I love most about going in August is that it is even warm in the evenings. I didn't need to wear a cardigan or anything additional to my many dresses!

What should I pack for a holiday in Menorca in August?
Make sure you pack lots of swimwear, casual daytime clothes and perhaps a few smart outfits for a night out. My son loves reading and we actually didn't bring enough books for him. He ran out of reading material after the first week (we were there for two) and we weren't able to get our hands on any suitable books (in English) for his age-group. Next time I will over compensate and bring too many books with me - just in case!

What's great about Menorca in August?
The buzz! Yes, it is most likely the busiest month but so long as you are prepared for that, then just embrace the buzz and enjoy your piece of paradise. Everywhere is open and the restaurants and bars tend to stay open a lot later in August.
