In 2019, the Starlight Foundation, in recognition of its exceptionally clear skies, declared Menorca a Starlight Tourist Destination, with some areas achieving the special status of Starlight Reserve.
A Starlight Reserve is a protected natural area where a commitment to protecting the quality of the night sky and access to starlight is established. Its main function is to preserve the quality of the night sky and the different associated values, whether cultural, scientific, astronomical or the natural landscape.
Starlight tourist destinations are locations with ideal conditions for observing the stars and where light pollution is controlled, making them ideal destinations for tourism based on the appreciation of the sky as part of the natural world.
Many of us are certified Starlight monitors, and we can guide you around the incredible nightscape that glitters above our heads.
