The result is both true to the 19th-century finca and indelibly stamped with a contemporary personality…
“The Experimental group’s new outpost on the island’s southern edge capitalises on this bucolic quality by tapping the French interior designer Dorothée Meilichzon to convert a 19th-century finca into a light-bathed 43-room retreat.”
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Footpaths through the pines lead down to the rocky cove of Cala Llucalari, with ancient coastal hiking routes branching nearby.
The rooms
Whitewashed walls and geometric headboards meet terracotta floors, while nine standalone villas hide private dipping pools in the surrounding gardens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Drystone walls and shaded daybeds border the outdoor pool, which looks back toward the main whitewashed finca.
The spa and sauna
Three treatment rooms host Biologique Recherche therapies, and the thermal suite features a wood-paneled sauna and traditional hammam.
At the table
Dishes draw on produce from the on-site organic garden, and signature cocktails are served beneath a thatched outdoor bar.
Conceived by Parisian designer Dorothée Meilichzon as the imagined island bolt-hole of Pablo Picasso, Menorca Experimental's 43 rooms and villas... are done up in oxbloods and clay pinks.
How it began
The estate was conceived as the sunlit summer sanctuary of an imaginary painter, sensitively converting a nineteenth-century Menorcan farmhouse.
