Your impossibly stylish Menorcan townhouse
Cristine Bedfor doesn’t really feel like a conventional hotel. It feels more like your extremely stylish friend has handed you the keys to their Menorcan townhouse. Set in central Mahón, it puts the capital’s historic streets, shops, restaurants and famous harbour within easy reach, while the interiors mix antiques, patterned fabrics and carefully collected pieces with bags of personality.
Hidden behind the townhouse façade is a garden with an outdoor pool, providing a leafy little escape from the city streets. Wellness comes without the big-resort fanfare, with dedicated treatment rooms offering massages, facials and body treatments.
Food is very much part of the experience. Cristine’s Kitchen champions Mediterranean cooking and local Menorcan produce, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus weekend brunch. The pool bar runs throughout the afternoon with fresh dishes and cocktails, while the patio and secret garden provide suitably lovely settings for lingering over dinner or drinks.
This isn’t one for waterslides and buffet wristbands. It’s for slow breakfasts, harbour wanders, a dip beneath the Menorcan sun and wondering whether you could somehow move in permanently.
