🌑 Menorca Solar Eclipse 2026 – Why You Need to Book Early
On 12th August 2026, Menorca will be one of the best places in the world to witness a truly spectacular event — a total solar eclipse.
For just over a minute, the moon will completely cover the sun, turning day into twilight and revealing the delicate glow of the solar corona.
And here in Menorca, it gets even more magical — the eclipse will happen right at sunset. Imagine the sun slowly dipping into the Mediterranean, disappearing entirely for a brief, breathtaking moment, then returning in a blaze of orange and gold.
It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience — and the first total solar eclipse visible in Spain since 1905.
🌟 Why Menorca is the Perfect Place to Watch the Eclipse
Menorca’s wide open skies, unspoilt coastlines, and tranquil atmosphere make it the perfect stage for this rare celestial event. The island offers:
Clear western horizons for uninterrupted sunset views
A mix of secluded beaches and dramatic cliffs for unforgettable photo backdrops
Warm August evenings and the low light pollution that enhances the afterglow and early stars
We know the most spectacular viewing spots on the island — from hidden coastal lookouts to exclusive private terraces — and can help you secure prime positioning for the eclipse.
🕒 Eclipse Timing in Menorca
Partial eclipse begins: ~19:37 CEST
Total eclipse: ~20:31 CEST (lasting just over 1 minute in most locations)
Sunset: Immediately after totality, creating a one-of-a-kind blend of twilight and eclipse light
Because the eclipse happens so close to sunset, the lighting will be truly unique — photographers and stargazers are calling it one of the most beautiful eclipses in decades.
