Menorca Getaway: Aime's Address Book

Less renowned than Mallorca or Ibiza, Menorca stands out for its unspoiled character and simplicity. Listed as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the island reveals unspoiled landscapes, a coastline punctuated by coves with clear waters, and a typically Mediterranean way of life. It's a leisurely journey through peaceful landscapes, blond stone villages, coastal paths, and impromptu swimming spots.

Aime shares with you her address book for a sunny getaway, punctuated by carefully chosen places.

Escapade à Minorque : le carnet d’adresses Aime

Sleep in Fontenille Santa Ponsa

Nestled in the southern inland of Menorca, Fontenille Santa Ponsa extends over a former 17th-century palace, in the heart of a farming estate. Restored with sobriety, the building blends traditional architecture, noble materials, and contemporary touches. The site houses a permaculture vegetable garden, an intimate spa housed in old cisterns, an indoor and outdoor pool, as well as approximately 22 rooms and suites opening onto gardens, vineyards, and olive groves. The address invites you to slow down, in an elegant setting, designed without excess.

Swimming in Cala Mitjana

Considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Menorca, Cala Mitjana still retains its wild character. Nestled at the bottom of a cove, between limestone cliffs and umbrella pines, it's reached after about a twenty-minute walk along a wooded path. Upon arrival, you'll find a peaceful cove with pale sand and turquoise water. With no sunbeds or bars, the place retains a wild feel. You can settle in for a few hours, in the shade of a pine tree, swimming in the clear water or simply watching the shades of blue change throughout the day.


Coffee break at SC Café Central – Ciutadella

In the narrow streets near Ciutadella Cathedral, SC Café Central is an ideal stop after a stroll through the historic center. This concept store, housed in a 17th-century building, combines a wooden countertop, exquisite tableware, and objects to discover. Order a strong coffee, a cortado, or a cold brew, accompanied by warm toast, cookies, or homemade cakes. Popular with locals and travelers alike, the place embodies a successful blend of simplicity, flavor, and cultural inspiration.


Dinner at the Menorca Experimental Restaurant
On the west coast of Menorca, the Menorca Experimental restaurant is housed in a former 19th-century finca surrounded by nature. The cuisine, served on a terrace shaded by prickly pear trees, showcases local and seasonal produce. Grilled fish, garden vegetables, heirloom tomatoes, and pan con tomate make up a simple yet carefully crafted Mediterranean menu. The relaxed yet elegant atmosphere reflects the spirit of the place: a rustic setting, attentive service, and cuisine faithful to the island's flavors.
