Hotel restaurant
The wooden-beamed restaurant is in a separate building, with stone arches, beige walls and linen, and its own terrace facing out to Es Salobrar. Expect hearty Mediterranean and Mallorcan flavours, with sea salt (flor de sal) from the saline ponds down the road used in dishes such as lobster ravioli and steak with peppers, Cabrales cheese and rosemary. Don’t miss the pancakes with melted dark chocolate at breakfast.
- Dress code No one’s a fan of neon around here: stick to the muted tones of oatmeal, white and grey.
- Top table Ask for a table near the glass-fronted kitchen so you can watch the chefs at work.
- Last orders Head down for breakfast on the terrace from 8am until 11am. The restaurant serves lunch from 1pm until 3pm; dinner starts at 7.30pm and stops at 10.30pm.
- Room service A selection of salads, soups, burgers and sandwiches can be ordered up any time between noon and 10.30pm.

Hotel bar
Settle in at sundown for a cocktail - the bar has an impressive list of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic combinations, using ingredients plucked straight from the gardens. If you're peckish, nibble on local delicacies such as Iberian ham and Menorcan cheese, or produce from further afield – such as Kobe burgers – served all afternoon and until 10.30pm.

Our favourite rooms
For its natural light, privacy-affording terrace and views of Es Salobrar, we like Room 14. We’re fans of Room 22 too, for its wooden beams, space and secluded terrace. It also mixes up the hotel’s neutral colour palette with artworks in bold shades of burnt orange (painted by one of the owners’ daughters).
Packing tips
Don’t forget your spa gear to try out waters that have been soothing people since the Romans; save room for some tins of local sea salt – way better than a souvenir thimble.
