WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL

You get the privacy and quiet of a rural setting, but still have Cala Llucalari close enough for easy sea dips when the day calls for salt water.

HOTEL DESCRIPTION

Menorca Experimental is a creative rural retreat set in a restored 19th-century finca surrounded by pine groves and Mediterranean gardens. Designed by Dorothée Meilichzon, the interiors mix rustic charm with a fresh, artistic spirit, with textured walls, ceramics, and soft, sun-washed colours. Suites and casitas come with private terraces, and some have plunge pools for an added touch of seclusion. Life here moves at an unhurried pace: start the day with yoga, wander the grounds dotted with art installations, or cool off in the saltwater pool. Evenings are for sharing seasonal dishes in the farm-to-table restaurant or sipping cocktails as the sun sets over the countryside. It is a perfect base for discovering Menorca’s beaches while feeling far removed from the island’s busier corners.

Our take on the stay

Eliza

A 19th-century finca turned into a canvas for art, design, and Menorca’s landscape. Days unfold simply here: a swim at Cala Llucalari, a long pool afternoon, then cocktails and dinner without needing a plan.

  • Designed in the spirit of an artist’s holiday home, with Dorothée Meilichzon interiors that mix rustic bones and playful colour in a way that feels fresh, not themed

  • Direct access to the Camí de Cavalls trail for coastal walks

  • Restaurant serving fresh, seasonal dishes and local wines

Menorca

Menorca is a quieter, more natural side of the Balearic Islands, known for its clear coves, rolling countryside, and unspoiled coastline. Life here moves slowly, shaped by long swims, coastal walks, and evenings that stretch into warm sunsets. Menorca Experimental is set inland among vineyards and open fields, offering a peaceful retreat that feels deeply connected to the island. It’s an ideal base for discovering Menorca’s calm beauty and laid-back rhythm.
