🏡 Vestige's Spanish collection won the 3rd prize at the 2024 Hotel & Lodge Awards, boutique hotel category. They restored a 18th-century country manor, located a 10-minute walk from unspoiled coves and beaches, and 20 minutes from the historic port city of Ciutadella. Estudio, Vestige's integrated architecture and design studio, created 33 rooms and suites, blending original elements with vintage furniture, contemporary art, and custom-designed pieces by Menorcan artisans. The property features an Italian-style manor overseeing gardens and farmland, leading to a turquoise cove and secluded beach. The eco-responsible approach emphasizes the reuse of original materials. The team at Son Vell offers activities including horseback riding on the Camí de Cavalls, artisan workshop visits, archaeological sites, picnics, boat rides, outdoor cinema, and more.
