Welcome To Santo Tomas | Home

Santo Tomas is a purpose built resort, although there is a real Menorcan village of Es Migjorn Gran just a few miles inland which you will drive through on your way into the resort. Here the local fiesta is held during the last weekend in July.

The village has a single main street with 2 small commercial centres on either side, selling the usual array of tourist and beach goods. You may be impressed by the fact that Santo Tomas has 3 supermarkets, but since they are all owned by the same company there is really very little variety in the goods sold and no competition in the prices.

Just behind the beach there is a lovely block paved promenade, which starts at the Hotel Victoria Playa and runs the full length of the resort. The path passes a number of playgrounds for the children to play in, and the pool areas of many of the other hotels.

Next to the Vicroria Playa Hotel is a small wooded area that is very popular with the local Menorcan families at weekends, and beyond this rocky outcrop a path takes you over the cliffs to nearby Son Bou. The walk will take around 45 minutes and there are no bars or shops on the way, so take a drink with you. An added "bonus" on the walk is as you approach Son Bou the path takes you through the nudist beach area.

The town has a somewhat patchy bus service into Mahon, Ciudadela and Es Migjorn Gran. Most unusual for anywhere in Spain the 9:15 bus to Mahon can leave as early as 8:50 if the driver feels like it.

Evening entertainment is mainly hotel based, and if the resort does have a disco I've yet to find it.
