Property Overview

Positioned within a sprawling 445-acre estate and within walking distance of the coast, Son Vell rises from the Menorcan countryside as a study in timeless elegance. Spacious guest rooms and suites are spread across the original 18th-century manor, restored traditional outbuildings, and a series of sensitively constructed new buildings set among sweet-scented gardens.

Agent Tips

  • Despite the secluded feel, Ciutadella isn't far, and well worth a day trip to explore the shops, restaurants, and sights.
Accommodations

Art, antiques, and bespoke furnishings.

Sensitively refurbished to honor the building's traditional framework, Son Vell's guest rooms and suites strike a graceful balance between old and new, with art, antiques, and bespoke furniture coming together for an atmosphere that feels both elegant and deeply comfortable. In the manor house, grand and deluxe suites feature terracotta floors, ancient beams, and shuttered windows gazing over the rippling estate, with refined interiors and generous bathrooms designed for unhurried relaxation. Tucked among the gardens, fully appointed garden suites catch the sunrise or sunset from generous private terraces, where azure skies and fragrant surroundings make it very easy to lose track of time.
Pool + Gym

Inviting pools in the gardens.

There are two outdoor swimming pools at Son Vell, perfect for enjoying some time outside, in and by the water, soaking up the Menorcan sun. With an outdoor gym on the estate grounds, you won't have to interrupt your training schedule while on the island. There's also plenty of room to explore on foot, both in the estate and in the surrounding countryside.
Restaurant + Bar

A celebration of Menorca's natural bounty.

Day to night, dining at Son Vell is a celebration of Menorca's natural bounty. Fresh ingredients are drawn from the property's on-site organic garden and sourced from local land and sea suppliers, with peak flavor as the guiding principle. Leading the kitchen is award-winning Executive Chef Joan Bagur, whose inventive fusion of traditional Menorcan cuisine with modern international influences earned Son Vell a coveted spot in Spain's Guía Repsol.

As the day winds down, Bar Son Vell is the natural next stop, an elegant terrace perched above the fragrant gardens and perfectly suited to a slowly sipped aperitif. The bar's mixologists turn out both cocktails and mocktails with equal finesse, including a signature pomada made with local Xoriguer gin, lemonade, ice, and fresh basil. Open until late, it doubles as a worthy destination for a post-dinner digestif too.

  • Location
    Son Vell's immaculately landscaped gardens are filled with Mediterranean plants, citrus trees, olive groves, and an organic vegetable garden tended by a dedicated horticultural team. Beyond the hotel's immediate grounds, nearly 445 acres of fertile fields and farmland stretch out toward the coast, where a short walk or bike ride leads to Cala Son Vell, the property's own rocky cove with sapphire waters perfect for a plunge.
