AN EXQUISITE BOUTIQUE HOTEL IN MENORCA
Positioned in a stunning setting inside an extensive 180-hectare estate and within walking distance of the coast, Son Vell rises from the land as an enduring symbol of Menorcan elegance and beauty. Spacious and refined guest rooms and suites are set within the original 18th-century manor, restored traditional outbuildings and a series of sensitively constructed new buildings fanning out through the sweet-scented gardens.
Two outdoor swimming pools, two restaurants and a plethora of crafted experiences are on offer, while picturesque Ciutadella, the island’s second city, is only a 20-minute journey. An (almost) private rocky cove, Cala Son Vell, is an easy walk or bike ride away giving access to miles of glittering coast. The tip of the estate leads on to the Camí de Cavalls, an ancient bridleway — well-maintained for walking and hiking — that wraps around the entire island.
Declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1993, Menorca is a haven of unspoilt beauty filled with much wildlife, and a dream destination for walkers, water sport enthusiasts, nature-lovers, peace-seekers and all who find joy in the natural world.
A sense of history that’s still in the making. The Son Vell estate tells a fairytale story from humble beginnings to the elegant honey-hued manor that we see today. After a meticulous renovation using local materials and traditional methods while keeping sustainability front and centre, the building is now returned to its full glory and ready for guests to embrace the mellow pace of island life. With extensive grounds planted with sweet-scented Mediterranean flora, an organic fruit and vegetable garden to feed the kitchens, and peaceful areas to soak up moments of quiet contemplation, every corner of the estate is yours to enjoy.
Menorca’s rare beauty isn’t just for looking at. Our experiences team are embedded within the community and can read the pulse of local life to bring you meaningful experiences that take you straight to the heart and soul of the island. From activities on and under the water to art tours, stargazing, horse riding, yoga and more, we can arrange experiences to suit everyone from thrill seekers to sun worshippers. We also offer specific family friendly activities on site and off, plus a host of pampering treatments to help you feel fully relaxed and rejuvenated.
