Artiem Audax

On the super family-friendly island of Menorca, the Artiem Audax is a relative rarity – an upscale resort hotel blissfully free of children. Practically every remnant of this hotel's seventies-era origins have been swept aside by a zingy contemporary makeover that adds to a breezy, grown-up atmosphere throughout. The high-end facilities are also suitably adult-oriented, featuring one of the largest spa's in the Balearics complete with thermal circuit and indoor-outdoor pool. Guestrooms and suites have an eco-friendly focus, without compromising on comfort, with roomy walk-in rain showers and pillow menus; spring for a top-level suite and you can get your own sea-view Jacuzzi tub. Crowning the property is a delightfully serene sun terrace, where guests luxuriate on Bali beds and soak in a two-tier infinity-edge pool that makes most of the elevated setting – overlooking stunning Cala Galdana bay with its turquoise waters fringed by white cliffs. Excellent watersport facilities and some outstanding dining complete a genuinely outstanding hotel.
