Boutique Hotel Menorca Experimental

Reborn from the gracious old bones of a 19th century finca, on 30 hectares of land, Spanish boutique hotel Menorca Experimental is designed in the spirit of an artist’s vacation cottage. Surrounded by pine groves, fragrant juniper shrubs and wildflowers, the whitewashed compound has been carefully restored—including its original vegetable garden—by a team of local craftsmen under the guidance of interior designer Dorothée Meilichzon. Dorothee has worked with talented people to create a unique and crafted experience in Menorca. Karel Blas has created all the graphic elements (a hand drawn alphabet, and a serie of illustrations inspired by Miro and Picasso’s ink drawings). Belgian artist LRNCE has designed some of the unique woven blankets. And Lea Munsch has hand-shaped the large light fixtures created from custom-made clay. The finca is home of 43 rooms including 9 with their own dipping pools, allowing guests to choose between the cordial shared experience, or the possibility of more intimate seclusion. The preservation of Menorca’s tranquility has long been a priority for locals, and its nature is so unspoiled that UNESCO has named the island a protected biosphere. The Agroturismo Menorca Experimental offers a rural experience creating a link with the local farmers know-how and its visitors.
