With the arrival of spring, Menorca blossoms and the second season opens for what has already become one of its most distinguished hotels: Son Vell, from the Vestige collection. Located in the heart of Camí de Cavalls, 20 minutes from Ciutadella and 10 minutes from Son Vell Bay, this 18th-century country house, tastefully and elegantly restored, is an ideal place to extract the natural essence of the island.
It offers 33 luxurious rooms and suites, surrounded by well-tended gardens, citrus orchards, a large area of olive groves and an organic orchard. On 180 hectares of the property there are fertile fields and an active farm with Minorcan horses. If the outside already offers large doses of tranquility and joie de vivre, inside the ante doubles: outdoor swimming pool, outdoor cinema, massage room, yoga and Pilates and the possibility of renting different experiences, such as excursions or stargazing.
Another of its strengths is the cuisine that Son Vell offers as a tribute to the fresh ingredients and artisanal products of Menorca through his two restaurants. At noon, Sa Clarissa offers a relaxed al fresco dining atmosphere with light menus surrounded by greenery. After dark, Vermeil highlights the island's culinary traditions and unique rhythm of life through a series of dishes prepared by Chef Joan Bajor.
