AN ISLAND HAVEN
Located in the heart of nearly 450 acres of fragrant grounds and within walking distance to the west coast of Menorca, Son Vell is a beautifully restored estate comprising of an 18th-century manor house, traditional outbuildings and a series of new garden suites. A short 20-minute journey from the island’s second city, Ciutadella, Son Vell offers an exquisite and peaceful retreat amid the unspoilt beauty of Menorca.
With a choice from one of the 33 luxurious suites situated either in the main house or nestled within the landscaped gardens, you will find that comfort has not been spared. Each room has been sustainably renovated with original Menorcan marés sandstone and ancient wooden beams, and the acres of land surrounding the suites are home to two outdoor swimming pools and have been planted with not only Mediterranean flora, but also an organic fruit and vegetable garden that supplies the kitchens of the two on-site restaurants led by award-winning executive chef, Joan Bagur.
For those looking to explore the natural beauty of Menorca, a well-maintained hiking trail, Cami de Cavalls, wraps around the entire island and can be found at the tip of the estate or you can cycle to the almost private rocky cove of Cala Son Vell to see the dazzling Mediterranean coast. For those seeking culture and adventure, there are countless opportunities for art tours of Ciutadella, cinema under the stars, boat charters, live music at Vermell, morning yoga classes, stand up paddle tours,4×4 drives and horse-riding excursions around the estate.
