Summary

Location

The rustic resort resides within Santa Ponsa, a historic finca (ranch) a few minutes from the Menorcan town of Alaior.

Lush Moorish-style gardens envelope the property, while leafy olive groves stretch off into the horizon. Historical quarries, aromatic gardens, working vineyards, and animal-strewn farmyards abound throughout the 300 hectare estate—there’s plenty to explore without leaving the hotel.

Further afield, you can traverse the scenic Camí de Cavalls trail by foot, bike, or horseback.

Reception can organise sailing trips, watersports, pottery excursions, golf, and more on the UNESCO-listed island.

The Menorca Airport is a 15-minute drive from the hotel.

Rooms & Suites

The charming 18th century finca still retains its original stonebrick exterior. Its 22 rooms lie scattered between the main house, the former barn, and numerous standalone villas, each surrounding by immaculately manicured gardens full of palm and citrus trees.

Inside, the rooms have been lovingly renovated with sleek contemporary décor, with a breezy blue and white colour theme based on the beloved Balearic style.

High ceilings add a sense of space, while rustic rattan furnishings serve as a throwback to its colonial past.

Plush whitewashed bathrooms come with big double vanities, exclusive REN Skincare products, and a freestanding tub. Bigger groups should upgrade to a suite—most have two well-appointed bedrooms and a private terrace.

Pools & Facilities

Fontenille Menorca sees nature, history, and wellness intertwine. The estate’s time-worn cisterns have been converted into treatment rooms and swimming pools, each surrounded by lush gardens and gorgeous rolling hills.

The sumptuous wellness spa boasts a refreshing outdoor pool, a heated indoor pool, a steam sauna and hammam, rejuvenating Nordic baths, and a hydrotherapy aquatic course.

There’s also a series of tranquil treatment rooms, where trained professionals use aromatic essential oils and organic products extracted from the on-site garden.

A relaxing rooftop terrace offers a peaceful respite to sunbathe and soak up the panoramic views.

Food & Drinks

Catalan superstar Albert Riera leads the team at Nura restaurant, an in-house eatery serving delectable Spanish cuisine.

Wherever possible, Albert plucks ingredients fresh from the hotel’s organic vegetable garden, a 5,000m2 organic expanse full of fruit, veggies, and herbs. The venue is a hit for its tangy contemporary dishes, with everything from light Mediterranean meals to seven-course degustation menus.

Nura has an impressive wine list, with vintage varieties from Spain and beyond.

For a unique gastronomic experience, each Friday evening, Albert does a gourmet barbeque under the stars. Spectacular views and stargazing at a local observatory make this special event one to remember.

Special Info

Its historic edifices and luscious gardens make Fontenille Menorca a superb spot to hold a lavish wedding. Ever-present Balearic sunshine ensures your open-air event will be a sure-fire hit.

The estate has a specially designed meeting room to cater for corporate events. Attendees get access to the hotel facilities so they can network in an informal setting.
