| Description: | Los Delfines is located on the west coast of Menorca and is one of the island’s three most developed and popular resorts, aimed at package holiday tourists. The area consists of 3 smaller resorts: Cala’n Forcat, Cala’n Brut and Cala’n Blanes There are 3 busy beaches, a large choice of restaurants, bars, shops & supermarkets. The main street (Avda. Los Delfines) runs from one end of the resort close to beaches 1 & 2 all the way to Cala'n Blanes at the other end where beach no.3 is. Although it is a busy resort it is still relatively quiet compared to other Balearic Islands. Likely tenants will be families looking for a well rounded activity packed holiday. The great thing about this island is that its cheap to get to. This has kept a steady flow of tenants into the area all requiring a property for the week or fortnight. With this increased demand it has led to rental prices shooting up. As a result good yields are being achieved and will be achievable in the foreseeable future. | |||||||||||||||||||||
