The best hotels Alaior

Fontenille Menorca - Santa Ponsa is a historic property set in a lush 100-hectare finca on the island of Menorca. With 22 rooms and suites spread across the main house, former barns and independent buildings, the décor is a nod to the property's past and the family's taste in travel. The gardens, which are fully listed, are an extension of the house, offering an immersive experience of nature.

The Fontenille Menorca - Torre Vella hotel, located in Alaior, is a haven of bohemian chic, immersed in the island's raw nature. Its decor features white curtains, local stone and weavings. Spacious rooms and suites are spread throughout the property, some with large terraces and private pools. The mix of waxed concrete, wood and whitewashed walls adds to the hotel's cachet.

Rafal Rubí is a luxury rural hotel set in the heart of the Menorcan countryside. Recently renovated by Charles and Diane de Mortemart, the property, set between farmland and the sea, cultivates a special bond with nature: on 5 hectares, wild olive trees, orchards and gardens are the playground of the chickens. Surrounding the main unit (the manor house) are four smaller buildings made of noble stone and wood and housing coquettish rooms. An inspired tapas bar will satisfy even the hungriest appetites. A place full of character where you can recharge your batteries.

Cap Menorca is part of the Relais & Châteaux network. The site is unique: set on a rocky promontory overlooking the sea, the 30-hectare grounds planted with palms, olive trees and umbrella pines are enchanting in their own right. The hotel itself is a former finca housing 15 minimalist, comfortable suites with private gardens, as well as a table d'hôte (dinner under the stars is memorable) honoring local products, just like the excellent breakfast. Swimming pools and a variety of activities. An Eden.

Located in the heart of Alaior's historic center, the brand-new Hotel Romandre - due to open in 2023 - is a charming little address offering great value for money! There are 9 comfortable double rooms - all decorated with paintings by Mikel Díez Alaba, a Basque artist who fell in love with the island - as well as a bar-cafeteria, a dining room under the vaulted cellar, a lovely terrace and a relaxation area with whirlpool bath. From the hotel, it's easy to reach the beaches and surrounding countryside. Simplicity. A warm welcome.

Amagatay is the epitome of rural Menorca: an untamed natural environment of olive trees, stone and sun, a ^19th-century finca elegantly restored in a bohemian spirit, a restaurant overseen by chef Juanjo López Bedmar (chef at La Tasquita de Enfrente in Madrid)... There are 20 suites of sophisticated modern design, featuring colors and materials from Menorca: light wood, wrought iron and ceramics decorate the space, brightening it up with shades of ochre, olive green and powder pink. A true bowl of the Mediterranean.
