Spa Hotels on Menorca

Often by-passed for its more popular neighbours - Mallorca and Ibiza - Menorca comes into its own for those looking for a more tranquil holiday island. But peaceful doesn’t mean behind-the-times. Many of the hotels are luxury standard and offer the extras - such as a spa - that discerning travellers expect. The best spa hotels on Menorca are spread around the island giving you a choice of town, beach or rural location.

Couple this with guaranteed sunshine - even out of season - safe seas that are perfect for snorkelling and kayaking, coastal walks and inland hiking trails, and you have the ideal combination for anyone looking for a wellbeing break.

But don't forget that this is always a busy spot in the peak summer months, so if you want to guarantee a room in one of Menorca's best spa hotels during July or August, you'll have to book well ahead.

For a hotel in town

• Overlooking Mahon harbour, Barcelo Hamilton Menorca offers city-style design with bright and modern rooms and a selection of slick features: hot-tubs on the roof, a choice of outdoor pools as well as a small spa and fitness suite. A stroll to the beach, it’s also an adults-only haven.
• In the old town of Ciutadella, Hotel Can Faustino offers stylish, minimalist rooms - some with balconies - in a 16th-century former castle. A stunning spa has been created on the lower floors, and there’s a choice of indoor and outdoor pools. With a quiet and understated atmosphere, it’s a lovely place to relax.

For a rural stay

• Surrounded by rolling fields and vineyards, the traditional farmhouse and outbuildings of Torralbenc have been converted into light and sleek contemporary rooms, most with balconies or terraces, and some with private pools. There’s a small spa using Natura Bissé products as well as an elegant pool and an award-winning chef.
• Order a spa treatment in your room at Sant Joan de Binissaida, a traditional farmhouse surrounded by olive groves and gardens, whose airy rooms mix contemporary furnishings with original features. Offering a choice of private pool or nearby beach for swimming, its Michelin-starred restaurant will also appeal to foodies.
