At the hotel

Our favourite rooms
The Torre Vella Pool Suite – set in an old boyera (stables) – is ever-so-slightly more luxurious than when the farm’s former residents bedded down here, with an indoor lounge, outdoor terrace and a private plunge pool.
Poolside
The unheated outdoor pool overlooks the olive groves and farmland. It’s surrounded by day-beds and parasols and, if you fancy a nighttime dip, it’s open round the clock.
Spa
Relaxing won’t be an issue in this perfectly peaceful spot, but should you have an errant knot, get it kneaded out on one of the alfresco massage tables in the prettiest farmyard settings. For facials, essential-oil massages, reflexology, or spells in a hammam or sauna, toddle over to Santa Ponsa’s spa, in Torre Vella’s sister hotel.
Packing tips
Stash whatever active gear you have in your suitcase: you’ll need it for yoga sessions, coastal rambles and other heart-pumping pastimes.
Also
One of the Torre Vella Classique rooms is wheelchair-accessible.
Pet‐friendly
Very. The hotel allows dogs in any bedroom and provides beds and bowls for canine companions. However, they must be kept on leads and are not allowed near the spa or pools. See more pet-friendly hotels in Menorca.
Children
All ages welcome. Extra beds are €60 a night and baby cots can be added to rooms on request. Children are also welcome in the restaurants at all times, with high-chairs available. Chefs are happy to adapt dishes to suit little Smiths’ tastes.
Sustainability efforts
Turn your eyes to the hotel’s gardens to confirm its eco-cred. Where possible, food is grown onsite and in the surrounding orchards, waste is composted and water is recycled for irrigation. And finally, Torre Vella is a self-sufficient Finca thanks to a solar farm that supplies power to the entire property.
