Menorca Experimental
Pastoral Elegance with a Surrealist Twist
A Farmhouse Reimagined
Set across 30 hectares of rolling Menorcan countryside, Menorca Experimental takes a 19th-century finca and reshapes it into a canvas for modern Mediterranean living. Just steps from a secluded cove and minutes from Son Bou—Menorca’s longest golden beach—this retreat feels both tucked away and connected, rural in rhythm but luxurious in detail.
Design with an Artist’s Eye
Inside, Dorothée Meilichzon infuses the farmhouse with a palette that tips its hat to the Surrealists—Miró, Picasso, Dalí—yet keeps its feet firmly on Menorcan soil. Pastel tones wash across rustic walls, hand-glazed terracotta tiles glow underfoot, and weathered timber beams sit easily alongside graphic modernist panels. In the guestrooms, farmhouse simplicity meets painterly imagination: headboards curve like sculptural canvases, textured fabrics soften the geometry, and natural light plays against soft, muted surfaces.
Bungalows with Private Pools
The heart of the Experimental experience lies beyond the farmhouse: nine private bungalows, each its own hideaway with a plunge pool, shaded terraces, and views that dissolve into the landscape. Here, privacy is total, but the design remains connected—woven baskets, linen drapes, terracotta lamps—all echo the finca’s rustic roots while offering contemporary comfort.
The Island Spirit
Outdoors, the land itself sets the tone. Stone walls border wildflower fields, trails lead to hidden coves, and shaded patios frame the horizon. Communal spaces pulse with a farm-to-table ethos, blending island produce with inventive Mediterranean cooking. The rhythm is slow, seasonal, and celebratory—sunsets, shared wine, conversations that linger as long as the light.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Menorca Experimental distills the island’s soul into one retreat: pastoral, artistic, and unapologetically sensual. By fusing Surrealist-inspired design with rustic authenticity, it creates a place that feels both timeless and current—a farmhouse reborn as an artistic sanctuary by the sea. For travelers who crave solitude, creativity, and a dash of surreal magic, this is Menorca at its most enchanting.
