An unforgettable escape in the Menorcan countryside
This former 17th Century Palace stands proudly among 20 acres of impossibly pretty gardens, where exotic flowers grow among fields of swaying palm and orange trees.
Being at one with nature is the vibe here. All ingredients for the dishes at Nura – their world-class restaurant – are sourced from local suppliers or grown onsite in the hotel’s own vegetable gardens. The result is world-class cuisine that tastes as fresh and vibrant as the day the produce was picked.
Experiences to treasure forever also takes a front-row seat at Fontenille Santa Ponsa, whether it’s dining on a cliffside watching the sun set over the horizon to creating your own organic beauty products using ingredients harvested from the hotel gardens. And, with 15 individual beaches within just a 15-minute drive from the hotel, some of Majorca’s most stunning coastlines are within easy reach.

Hotel highlights
The outdoor pool’s open 24/7 but for an added touch of luxury, spend a couple of hours at the spa. There you’ll find a steam room, sauna, and three separate treatment rooms offering up revolutionary skin care treatments that incorporate the use of LED lights to boost your exterior glow.
Take a stroll to the spa’s private terrace and enjoy panoramic views across the landscape or immerse yourself in the soothing heat of the Finnish sauna. Finally, there’s the spa’s pièce de resistance – an underground pool in a centuries-old cistern featuring cascading water jets.
Dining here isn’t just turning up for dinner, it’s also about experiencing new things in some of the most spectacular settings on earth. For example, every Sunday s La Parillada night – a time to sample hot and tasty tapas, prime rib, and gourmet desserts among the hotel’s luscious gardens. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays it’s your chance to enjoy cliffside aperitifs, where sweeping sunset views are the order of the day. There are special dinner nights, too, where you can feast on sizzling BBQ cuisine while sitting cosily under the stars.
Here, the vibe is unapologetically Spanish. It’s cuisine that pleases the palate with traditional flavours combined with modern cooking techniques.
From yoga classes in the heart of nature to guided tours through the unspoilt landscapes of Torre Vella on their iconic Mehari, the experiences here are designed to evoke a particular time and place. But for something a little different, why not try your hand at pottery? Don’t’ worry you’ll have one of the island’s master craftsmen to guide you every step of the way.

- The private terrace is also worth of praise. Found on the roof of the cistern, it’s the place to relax in the Mediterranean sun and admire the stunning views that surround you.
