Old Ciutadella with five-star finesse
Faustino Gran doesn’t simply sit in Ciutadella’s historic centre. It feels woven into it. This Relais & Châteaux retreat spreads across beautifully restored historic houses in the Old Town, surrounding you with stone walls, secluded patios and the sort of architectural details that remind you Menorca was doing boutique charm long before boutique hotels were a thing.
Its wellness offering is every bit as distinctive. The spa is built into the vault of an ancient cave, with a natural-stone indoor pool, steam room and sauna. Hotel guests receive spa access and one complimentary hour of the thermal circuit, while treatments and massages can be booked separately. There’s a gym, too.
Casa Faustino Restaurant makes Menorca the main ingredient, serving Mediterranean dishes built around produce from local suppliers. Continental breakfast is included, while the courtyard becomes an atmospheric spot for lunch and dinner. The hotel’s countryside estate, Casa de Pau, adds another dimension with its kitchen garden and vegetarian dining experiences. With Ciutadella’s harbour, cathedral and maze of old streets outside, this is less a hotel stay and more a rather elegant introduction to Menorcan life.
