Artiem Audax

With pine-covered cliffs to one side, and the sweeping bay of Cala Galdana to the other, settings don't come much more idyllic than this. If peace and quiet is what you crave, this refined, adults-only hotel – which boasts a state-of-the-art spa – could be just the spot for you. 

Everything here screams – or rather whispers – relaxation. The Blue Spa is home to Menorca's largest thermal spa circuit, and includes Jacuzzis and hydro-massage pools for ultimate unwinding. The hotel offers tailored wellness programmes, too, which are designed to make the most of the surrounding area. Think yoga, running, and mindfulness. If long, lazy days spent soaking up the sunshine are more your speed, a split-level, lagoon-style number has got pride of place on the terrace here, so grab a good book and start working on that tan.
