Reconnect with nature at the Balearic outpost of the hip Experimental group, created by childhood friends Olivier Bon, Pierre-Charles Cros and Romée De Goriainoff. The interiors are decadent yet not opulent or overpowering. Reimagined as an artist’s summer house by Dorothee Meilichzon, the use of natural materials such as rattan and stone are coupled with splashes of terracotta, black and blue, taking inspiration from Miro and Picasso, and reflecting the UNESCO biosphere reserve that is the island of Menorca.
The 43 guest rooms and 9 private villas offer access to the verdant gardens or private terraces overlooking the pool. The majority of rooms are set in the main building, with a handful dotted around the grounds, accompanying the private villas and featuring plunge pools. The added touches make this a new breed of farmhouse hotels a group to watch – baskets to take to the beach, hand-held lamps for sunset jaunts.
