Property Overview

Santa Ponsa, an iconic Menorcan finca (farmhouse), is a seventeenth-century palace surrounded by eighty acres of lush, terraced gardens, orchards, and hidden corners. A Mediterranean estate with a strong sense of heritage, it is refined yet relaxed, offering shaded courtyards, a tranquil spa set inside a historic cistern, and long, quiet evenings outdoors. Twenty-two rooms and suites are divided between the main house, the historic barns, and the independent buildings located in the gardens. Its gastronomic restaurant, Nura, offers contemporary Spanish cuisine, tangy and lively, centered around the products sourced from the Domaine’s vegetable garden.

Focused on wellness, Santa Ponsa also offers both an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool, an aquatic course, a hammam, a sauna, Nordic baths, and massage rooms. Spa treatment protocols use the natural brand Susanne Kaufmann and focus on energy regeneration. Paëlla and flamenco evenings, horse riding along the Camí de Cavalls, boat trips, parrilladas in the gardens, and a multitude of activities that allow you to fully enjoy the most unspoiled land of the Balearic Islands.

Agent Tips

  • Take the hotel boat to explore Menorca from the sea.
  • Head to the cliffs of Torre Vella for a sunset aperitif in the heart of nature, with open bar and shared Menorcan tapas overlooking breathtaking coastal views.
  • Why book Mallorca when Menorca is the true hidden gem? Five to seven direct flights daily from Paris, pristine nature, and two Fontenille fincas that redefine Mediterranean authenticity.
Accommodations
