and locals say it’s even betterTHE SPANISH ISLAND THAT'S THE ‘NEW IBIZA’...

A Spanish island has been dubbed the country's "new Ibiza" with locals saying it's even better than the original.

Menorca, one of the Balearic Islands, has been named one of the hottest places to be this summer - and it's not just because of the weather. 

While its sisters Majorca and Ibiza are known for their nightlife, Menorca is one of the more laidback islands.

Just a few hours from the UK by plane, most tourists visit for the long stretches of sand, with the island even declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO.

Other features include beautiful churches, such as the 13th century Santa Maria Cathedral, and stunning views, especially from El Toro, Menorca’s highest mountain.

Enjoying a typical Mediterranean climate, Menorca's average annual highs range between 14°C in winter to 29°C in summer.

One local described the low-key island - which has a population of just 100,000 - as "like the old, magical Ibiza, but without the clubs and drugs".
