Yes, you can smoke at Menorca Airport (MAH) — at two open-air terraces after security, on the boarding level of the terminal. Aena’s own services listing names this the airport’s designated smoking area, split across a South Terrace and a North Terrace on Floor 2, above the departure gates.
Menorca Airport sits about 4.5 km southwest of Mahón and handles just over four million passengers a year.
After Security (Airside)
Both of Menorca’s smoking terraces are on Floor 2, the boarding level. The South Terrace and the North Terrace sit on opposite sides of the concourse, open-air and reached directly from the gate area — Aena’s own airport-services page lists them as the airport’s designated smoking area, so this is the sanctioned option rather than an unofficial workaround. Head for whichever terrace is nearer your gate.
Connecting passengers benefit most: since both terraces are inside the secure zone, you can smoke during a layover and walk straight back to your gate without a fresh security screening.
Before Security
The check-in hall and the departures concourse ahead of security are smoke-free, and Aena’s services listing does not name a separate outdoor smoking spot on the landside side of the building — the airport’s one designated area is the pair of terraces after security. If you want a cigarette before check-in, step out through the main terminal doors on the ground level; once you are checked in, the fastest way to smoke is to clear security and use the South or North Terrace.
Vaping
Aena’s services listing does not name a separate rule for e-cigarettes at Menorca. Vapers use the South or North Terrace after security, the same spot as smokers; e-cigarettes are not permitted inside the terminal itself, including the check-in hall and boarding concourse.
