A nineteenth-century Menorcan manor house, its whitewashed neoclassical facade rising above dry-stone walls and red earth near the unspoiled cove of Cala Llucalari, provides the architectural anchor for Menorca Experimental — a property that asks whether the Experimental Group's particular brand of cultivated informality can survive transplantation into genuinely rural Spanish landscape. The answer, largely, is yes. The main building's arched loggia, pediment, and dark-shuttered windows carry the composed authority of a working estate rather than a resort confection, and the conversion has been handled with enough restraint to let the bones of the place breathe. Inside, the design work by Dorothée Meilichzon — the Experimental Group's long-standing creative director — sets terracotta-tiled floors and barrel-vaulted ceilings against a palette of burnt sienna, charcoal, and cobalt that feels simultaneously North African and quietly Spanish. The arched bedroom niches are painted a deep near-black behind upholstered terracotta headboards, ceramic table lamps sit on white plaster plinths, and the embroidered throws scattered across the beds carry loose graphic lines that suggest Miró without quoting him directly. Outdoors, the pool deck unfolds against a pine and garrigue backdrop, its scallop-edged linen awnings and slim white steel frames keeping the furniture language light and seasonal. The outdoor bar, roofed in woven reed over powder-coated steel, matches the same economy of means — a scrappiness that, in context, feels entirely correct.

Menorca Experimental is nestled in a green and peaceful atmosphere in Menorca Island. Former 19th century finca, in the spirit of an artist's holiday home, the finca’s 43 rooms include nine private villas, each with their own dipping pools. The hotel is also a few meters from the first calas. The restaurant's menu focuses on fresh, seasonal produce from our own vegetable garden.
