If you’re looking for a place to totally switch off – as in, leave the phone on silent and tune into island peace and quiet – this one is for you. A reimagined 19th-century farmhouse set within wild Mediterranean landscape. It’s got a paired back countryside feel – blending traditional Menorcan architecture with modern comfort with design details like macramé headboards, reclaimed wood and ceramic lamps. Food wise it’s all seasonal, locally sourced and crafted using traditional methods like smoking and pickling. Even down to the cocktail menu, most of what you eat or drink has been sourced from their land or close by.

It’s not an unusual concept for a run-down building to get a glow-up, and in Menorca, it was very happy news when the cool kids at the Experimental Group wanted to put their own spin on an island finca. It’s totally beachy but stylish too, with rooms and hangout spots going big on colour and creativity without losing comfort and infrastructure. Spread across dancing cacti and island flora are pockets of freestanding rooms (we prefer being out of the main house as it can get a little buzzy) all decked out in bright coloured textiles and white washed walls. Privacy is savoured but so is socialising – whether it be with the other younger couples sipping cañas by the pool or the effortlessly relaxed team who really know the best spots on the island. Leaving is hard, but worth it for the beaches, then come back for chill time next to a banging playlist and crispy patatas bravas. That’s what we’d do.

Menorca's first boutique hotel is perfect if you are looking for an escape from the hedonistic hotels of the Balearics. Come here to find true peace and to connect with the nature around you.
