The resort is made up of two separate areas; Binibeca Vell, which was designed by the famous Catalan architect, Antonio Sintes, in the 70's to look like a genuine old Mediterranean fishing village with a maze of narrow alleys, Moorish arches, whitewashed houses with sun-soaked patios, and a little harbour. It's a quaint, quiet and laid-back place with restaurants, bars, shops and squash courts.

In contrast, Binibeca Nou has a gorgeous, sandy beach with plenty of space for sunbathing. It is 130m in length and 180m wide having fine golden sand and still waters, making it ideal for children. Low mountain vegetation surrounds the area and it is well sheltered from the sea by a large jutting rock and sand dunes to the rear.

There is a beach bar and restaurant as well as sun beds with parasols for a relaxing day by the sea. If you want something more active, then snorkelling is popular along the this coast and there is a diving centre nearby.

A road train running to and from the nearby resort of Punta Prima is a popular outing for children. There is a degree of family nightlife in Binibeca Vell however for more variety a short drive will take you to St Luis or the capital Mahon.
