Housed in a classic Menorcan finca (farmhouse) at the end of a winding country lane, Vestige Son Vell feels both tranquil and elegant. The buildings date back to the 18th century and have been restored with careful attention to detail. Original features like the old well and chimney highlight the estate’s traditional architecture and rich history. This authenticity continues inside, with guest rooms and suites decorated using handmade terracotta tiles and neutral tones. At the same time, you’ll find all the modern amenities you need for a luxurious stay.

Outside, the hotel’s expansive manicured gardens provide plenty of space to unwind. You could go for a dip in one of the three pools, stroll down to the pebble beach, or watch a film under the stars at the outdoor cinema. And with more staff on site than guests, you’ll find the service impeccable whatever you’re doing.

Vestige Son Vell’s two restaurants place great emphasis on farm-to-table dining, with menus that showcase local seasonal ingredients. You’ll also see a focus on sustainability in initiatives like the hotel’s use of renewable power, with solar panels and geothermal wells generating around 60% of the property’s energy.

OUR OPINION:

We were swept away by Son Vell’s bucolic coastal setting, as well as the attention to detail in the design and decor. The hotel goes above and beyond when it comes to both service and sustainability.
