Sant Lluís (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈsaɲ ʎuˈis]; Spanish: San Luis) is a Spanish municipality on the tip of south-east Menorca in the Balearic Islands.
The main town is Sant Lluís, founded by the French in 1761 during their occupation of Menorca and dominated by Es Moli de Dalt, a fully restored, traditional windmill which is now a museum open to the public.
The area is noteworthy for its varied coastline, with fine sand beaches and cliffs, and the beautiful coves of Binissafúller, Biniancolla and Binibeca, with their typical whitewashed fishermen's houses. There are capes and islets, and medieval defensive towers all along the coast, very characteristic of the island.
