200 hectares of beauty await
Ensconced in rippling countryside close to the sparkling coast, yet only 20-minutes from historic Ciutadella, Son Vell rises from the land as a symbol of Menorcan elegance and beauty. The original 18th-century Manor House resides in quiet harmony alongside a series of traditional agricultural buildings fanning out across the estate. Having undergone a meticulous restoration, the hotel now comprises a clutch of luxurious suites in both the main house and the old barns. On the fringe of the estate’s 180 hectares are fertile fields and a working farm as well as landscaped gardens, citrus trees, olive groves and an organic vegetable garden. You’re a ten-minute walk from palm-fringed Cala Son Vell and the centuries-old Camí de Cavalls borders the estate; this ancient route strung along the coastline delivers you to hidden beaches, pine-scented forests and rocky cliff-faces.
