Son Vives Agritourism Hotel, Menorca

You’ll find Son Vives in the middle of the Menorcan countryside, offering a rural sanctuary in a traditional whitewashed farmhouse. The property is on a working farm that grows vegetables, breeds Menorcan horses, and makes its own cheese. The property is scattered between various buildings, with 12 rooms for guests, five in the main building and seven in other buildings on the estate. You’ll find the rooms elegantly minimalist with Scandinavian style coupled with original architectural elements of the "finca," such as exposed stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings. The hotel offers an adults-only sanctuary with fresh farm-to-table meals, a pool, yoga classes, and warm and welcoming staff.

• Guests can enjoy farm-to-table meals, such as fresh vegetables and cheeses made on the farm itself.
• There’s a pool with sun terraces for guests to enjoy.
• The staff are extra welcoming and helpful.

Cons

• The property’s remote location makes it difficult to reach without a car.

Authenticity

Immerse yourself in Menorcan country living at Son Vives Menorca Rural Hotel & Spa. This beautifully restored traditional Menorcan “finca,” refurbished in 2015, perfectly blends a rustic aesthetic with modern comforts amid a serene rural setting.

Location

Nestled just outside Ferreries and a 15-minute drive to Cala Galdana, you'll find yourself perfectly situated to explore the island. For those who prefer a slower pace, the best beaches of the North Coast—Binimel·là, Pregonda, and Cavalleria—are just a 35-minute bike ride or 30-minute drive away, offering you the chance to enjoy the scenic beauty at your leisure.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Each of the cozy, minimalist-style double rooms (about 10 in total) transports you into a tranquil haven, complete with private bathrooms and free WiFi. Featuring traditional Menorcan architecture, the rooms are tastefully appointed with simple wooden furniture, neutral tones, and ample natural light, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. The ensuite bathrooms, reminiscent of a modern spa, feature walk-in glass showers and natural toiletries. Upgrade your stay with a room that includes a terrace offering views of the island. For those seeking more space, the suite, nestled in its own building separate from the main complex, offers a living area, a king bed, and a large south-facing terrace.

Amenities

The hotel also offers bike rentals and excursions on horseback for a closer look at the Menorcan landscape. When it's time to unwind, you can lounge by the outdoor pool, surrounded by hammocks, or enjoy the tranquil garden under the pergola. With a commitment to sustainability, the hotel ensures hot water and heating through solar panels and a wood boiler, providing an eco-conscious stay.

Family-Friendliness

The hotel is strictly adults only, with the minimum age for guests being 18, making it unsuitable for families with children.
