Hotel information
At Vestige Son Vell, elegance meets beauty to form an iconic Menorcan symbol. Surrounded by lush olive groves and landscaped gardens, the main house and old barns provide a picturesque setting for sitting back, relaxing and letting go of all life’s troubles. With just 32 rooms to choose from and a wealth of local experiences to get stuck into, your stay will be nothing but exceptional.
Spend the days exploring the island via the hotel’s bike or cool off with a cocktail in the main pool. During the evenings, you can enjoy a ‘Cinema Under the Stars’ or ‘Stargazing’ experience after a sumptuous meal provided by one of the two bars and restaurants. And throughout the week, a range of local musicians visit to perform their atmospheric melodies while you tuck into your fine cuisine.
Away from the hotel, there are many activities to help make your holiday that extra little bit special. From discovering hidden calas during a private boat excursion to riding a horse around the island at sunset, each day provides something truly unique. Enjoy stunning Menorcan views while stand up paddleboarding at Cala en Bosch or witness the beauty of nature on a spectacular Jeep adventure.

Sustainability Initiatives & Responsible Tourism
Each renovation Vestige undertakes either repurposes materials from the original building or sources replacements from the same time period. At Son Vell, this is no different. The building has been beautifully restored to its original 18th Century glory, reducing its carbon footprint and impact on the environment. Not only that, but the restaurants locally source their ingredients from the land and sea straight to your table. Rainwater is collected and stored while the hotel works in harmony with the land by using precious water in a responsible manner. So, when staying at the luxurious estate, you’ll be part of their efforts as well.
