What celebrities live in Menorca?

Situated on the northern shore of the port of Mahón, Cala Llonga is the most exclusive urbanisation in Menorca, and is home to some of the most spectacular properties on the island. Many international celebrities such as Richard Branson, Elton John or Ian Gillian among others have wonderful properties in this area.



In 2026, Menorca remains a "quieter" alternative to Ibiza, attracting celebrities who prioritize privacy over nightlife. The urbanization of Cala Llonga is known as the island's most exclusive enclave, with long-time residents like Sir Richard Branson and Sir Elton John reportedly owning properties in the area. Other high-profile individuals linked to the island include Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan and various European socialites who prefer the island's UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status. Unlike the celebrity scene in Mallorca, the famous residents of Menorca are known for being highly integrated into local life, often seen dining in the port of Mahón or Ciutadella without the heavy security presence found in more commercialized Mediterranean hubs. For 2026 travelers, the "celebrity appeal" of Menorca lies in its lack of paparazzi and its preservation of traditional Balearic culture, making it a preferred retreat for stars looking to escape the global spotlight.
