Good things come in pairs at Vestige Son Ermità — one of two boutique hotels set on a bucolic estate in northern Menorca. With its opening-soon sister stay Vestige Binidufà, it shares Mediterranean good looks and wholesome grounds for alfresco dining and strolls to the sea, plus its groves and gardens supply sun-ripened produce. Son Ermità’s seafood restaurant, lofty farmhouse-style suites and plant-lined pools are an all-natural retreat; you’ll soon find bonus relaxation and dining over at Binidufà. It’s a Balearic dream team.

Check–Out

Noon; check-in, 3pm. Both are flexible, on request and subject to availability.

More details

Rates at Vestige Son Ermità include Continental breakfast with hot à la carte options.

Also

Unfortunately this rural stay isn’t suitable if you have reduced mobility. The paths between the main building, gym and suites are still quite rugged, but staff can ferry you around the estate or to the nearby beach in golf carts, should you wish.

Hotel closed

The hotel opens annually from April to November.

Gym, yoga deck with classes, free e-bikes to borrow, outdoor cinema, charged laundry service and free WiFi throughout. In rooms: TV, air-conditioning, Nespresso coffee machine, tea-making kit, minibar, free bottled water, bathrobes, slippers and organic bath products.

Our favourite rooms

Vestige Son Ermità gives farmhouse interiors a finessed upgrade: each room showcases carefully restored original wooden beams alongside a soothing earthy colour palette and curated bespoke furnishings. The Classic Terrace is a verdant retreat with a furnished patio and lofty ceilings; equally wholesome is the standalone Jardin de los Ullastres suite that’s set a short walk from the main building and has a lavender-lined garden.

Poolside

The quiet main pool is tucked below the hotel's entrance, overlooking the surrounding countryside that rolls towards the sea, and its lagoon-like feel is enhanced by plants and made-for-two day-beds. You'll find a second pool — smaller, more sociable — set by the restaurant for easy access to sunlounger-bound cocktails in between salty dips. When Binidufà opens, you can also be ferried over to use its infinity-edge pool.

Spa

Pampering deep-tissue and lymphatic massages can be arranged in the hotel’s farmhouse-style treatment room or your own on request.

Packing tips

No need for Barbour jackets and wellies: this country estate is better suited to Birkenstocks and woven baskets.

Also

Vestige Son Ermità and Binidufà sit on the same estate, but there’s some ground to cover between them — when Binidufà opens next year, staff can zip you between the two hotels, so you can get the best of both worlds.

Children

The Grand Suite sleeps a third and fourth guest on its double sofa-bed; the Suite has a single sofa-bed that can be made up on request for a third guest. Each room takes a free baby cot for one under-three on request.

Sustainability efforts

This centuries-old estate favours traditional building and farming techniques, has restored its buildings’ original features and planted hundreds of native plants. Staff and suppliers are kept as local as possible; the restaurant also makes the most of its homegrown produce.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Brisa’s terrace is a prime spot for alfresco meals.

Dress Code

Muted hues and flowing fabrics will have you blending in with the (covetable) furniture.

Hotel restaurant

Brisa is named after the breeze, and the hotel’s restaurant has an easy-breezy atmosphere that flows between its scenery-gazing terrace and cool, stone dining room. The Mediterranean menu is enriched by French accents and Menorcan-sourced ingredients; plenty of produce is grown on the estate, too. There’s a penchant for seafood, and we’re eyeing the crayfish ravioli and grilled tuna with marmitako (Basque fish stew).

Opening next year at Vestige Binidufà, dinner-only Mesura will showcase plant-based cooking that’s spiced up with Middle Eastern flavours (fret not, carnivores, you can add estate-reared meat or locally caught fish to your dish, should you wish).

Hotel bar

Next to the restaurant, Nuit is a date-night setting with top tipples and snacks. You could also take your spritz or sangría to one of the cosy communal lounge areas or to a sea-facing terrace.

Last orders

At Brisa, breakfast is 8.30am to 11am; lunch is between 1pm and 3pm, and for dinner, it’s 6.30pm to 10pm. Nuit pours from 6pm to 10pm.

Room service

You can order dishes from a dedicated menu between 10.30am and 10pm, with a smaller selection of bites from 10pm until 1.30am.

Spain

In the coastal countryside of northern Menorca, Vestige Son Ermità is one of two hotels that sit among an 800-hectare estate that’s a patchwork of fields, farmland and citrus groves.

Planes

Menorca’s international airport is a 30-minute drive from the hotel; staff can arrange one-way transfers from €112.

Automobiles

Wheels come in handy for taking in your petite island locale, plus the hotel has a free private carpark with valet services.

Worth getting out of bed for

At Vestige Son Ermità, the great outdoors is your pastoral playground. Guides can take you on 4WD adventures, or lead you on foot, by bike or on horseback along the Camí de Cavalls, a coastal hiking trail that loops the island. Wander through the estate to red-sand Cala Calderer (or hitch a free ride in one of the hotel's buggies); a private boat charter will reveal tucked-away coves and crowd-free beaches. 

Picturesque Ciutadella de Menorca and the south coast’s calas are within driving distance. There are morning flow classes at the yoga deck three times a week, and staff can also arrange watersports, organic cooking classes and visits to local workshops and galleries. They’re on hand to share stargazing tips, too, which will come in handy for evening screenings at their outdoor cinema.

Local restaurants

Local meat and vegetables are grilled on an open fire at Ca Na Marga, where its Argentinian chef brings his home country’s love for barbecuing to Fornells Bay. At Es Tast de na Sílvia, sleek stone interiors set the stage for tasting menus of Balearic flavours and market-fresh ingredients. Restaurante La Guapa Fornells’ trad-rural dining room and terrace are the suitably rustic setting for classic casserole-style dishes and lobster stews alongside Spanish wines.

Local cafés

Swing by Forn de Ca’n Marc for sugar-dusted ensaimadas and thick-foam cappuccini. If you plan to spend an afternoon taking in Mahón, the café at Es Jardí de Ses Bruixes is set in a foliage-framed courtyard and nourishes with wholesome breakfasts and café con leche.

Local bars

Cliffside Cova d’en Xoroi is worth the drive to the south of the island for its carved-into-stone setting, live music and sea-facing sundowners. The fairy-light-strewn garden at La Margarete is a cool-kid hangout for alfresco cocktails, beers and burgers.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this Earth-kind estate in the Balearics and unpacked their olive oil and straw hats, a full account of their bucolic break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Vestige Son Ermità in Menorca…

Two heads are better than one, and so are two hotels: Vestige Son Ermità is the (slightly) older sister to estate-mate Vestige Binidufà, a des-res duo of boutique hotels — one hilltop, the other valley-hugged — in Menorca’s rugged-and-rural north. 

Hilltop Son Ermità’s white sandstone façade stands out against the verdant scenery. The 800-hectare grounds are contoured by fields, farmland, fruit groves and vegetable patches; you can roam around, then be rewarded with a salty dip at red-sand Cala Calderer, which sits at the estate’s coastal edge.

Equal contentment is found at its seafood restaurant — you can also be shuttled to Binidufà for plant-based dining — or by the outdoor pool that looks out to countryside and coast. In your soothing room or suite, limewashed walls and original farmhouse features are cosseting staples; some also flaunt a bath tub, ornamental fireplace or private terrace.

Vestige Son Ermità is an impressive half of this Menorcan double act.
