The sprawling Vestige Son Vell is no conventional hotel: once an opulent manor house, the estate has been restored and modernized by the Vestige Collection and is now a luxurious agrotourism hotel with just 34 rooms and suites. Rustic furniture, light colors, and natural materials give the property an authentic Menorcan flair. Enjoy a drink by the pool, immerse yourself in the history of regional cuisine at one of the two restaurants, or stroll through the fragrant gardens on 180 hectares of land. From water sports to hiking and horseback riding to sightseeing and shopping in the nearest large city, there are plenty of activities to keep you busy every day.
Numerous facilities are available to you during your stay on the large estate. Start the day with a sun salutation on the yoga terrace, then refresh yourself in the pool, followed by a round of petanque. You will find soothing relaxation in the massage room. The Vestige brand has access to several estates on the island of Menorca and therefore offers you a varied program of activities: Jeep tours across the island, romantic picnics on the beach, stargazing, water sports, horseback riding on the beach, or workshops with local artisans can be organized for you at any time.
The hotel has 34 spacious rooms and suites, located in a lush, seven-hectare enclave within the estate. Classic Mediterranean charm pervades the entire establishment, which is decorated with natural materials and has a bright, rustic, quintessentially Menorcan feel.
All accommodations have their own unique flair and offer comfortable living areas, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, antique furniture, and contemporary art and sculptures. Some of the suites have a private garden where you can soak up the Spanish sun from morning to night.
Son Vell also attaches great importance to regionality and freshness when it comes to cuisine. The menus primarily feature modern Mediterranean dishes that come straight from the land and sea to your plate. The Sa Clarisa restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere, deeply influenced by the nature and history of Menorca. Indulge in local recipes prepared with the freshest ingredients. Vermell also pays homage to Menorca's hearty cuisine and the island's diverse producers. The pool bar offers light snacks and refreshing drinks, while in the evening the bar entices guests with sparkling cocktails and a magnificent panoramic view of Son Vell.
The Vestige Collection is a true family business: what began with the meticulous restoration of a palace in Asturias has developed into a lucrative business idea. Using high-quality architectural restoration methods, historically significant properties are given a new lease of life. The buildings range from elegant 18th-century castles to modernist structures from the early 20th century. The Vestige Collection now includes various luxury hotels, private estates, and event venues—the traditional Spanish country estate Vestige Son Vell is one of them. Nestled in the rolling hills near the sparkling coastline and just twenty minutes from the historic town of Ciutadella, Son Vell stands as a symbol of Menorcan elegance and beauty. After careful restoration, the original manor house has been converted into a hotel and features a range of luxurious suites located in both the main house and the old barns.
