Santo Tomás (or Sant Tomàs) is a small, laid-back coastal resort on the southern coast of Menorca, known for its peaceful atmosphere, natural surroundings, and long sandy beach. Tucked between the beaches of Son Bou and Cala Galdana, it’s a favourite destination for families, couples, and walkers seeking relaxation and nature. The resort is compact and easy to navigate, with a handful of hotels, restaurants, and shops lining the seafront. The wide beach at Santo Tomás is ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and gentle water sports, while the nearby Cala de Binigaus offers a more unspoiled and wild setting for those seeking tranquility. With easy access to the scenic Camí de Cavalls trail and beautiful countryside, Santo Tomás is perfect for slow-paced holidays focused on the sea, nature, and quiet charm.
