Many of the hotel’s 33 rooms and suites offer private terraces to soak up the views of the gardens, fields, and the Menorcan stone walls beyond. Rooms are dotted between the main house, the revived barns, and the sensitively designed newer buildings hosting the light-filled garden suites. Décor throughout is characterised by traditional marés sandstone, terracotta flooring, ancient wooden beams, and soothing lime-washed walls.
Dining at Son Vell is a highlight, with executive chef Joan Bagur’s team assembling sophisticated, hyper-local cuisine celebrating fresh daily produce from nearby suppliers and from the organic vegetable plot. By day, enjoy mouthwatering salads, fresh seafood and pastas at Sa Clarissa. Head to the Bar Son Vell for botanical sundowners, before retreating to Restaurant Vermell in the evening for à la carte Menorcan and Mediterranean cuisine, exquisite tasting menu, and fabulous wines.
