Cap Menorca Relais & Chateaux, Son Bou, Spain

On Menorca’s southern coast, where cliffs tumble into turquoise coves and rosemary scents the air, Cap Menorca Relais & Châteaux feels suspended between sky and sea. 

With only 15 suites, this boutique coastal hotel delivers the hush and horizon of an island sanctuary. 

Days unfold to the rhythm of salt air, cicadas, and the soft crash of waves below your terrace—a luxurious pause carved into wild beauty.

What Makes It Special

• Intimate scale: Just 15 suites, each with uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean.
• Clifftop seclusion: Perched high above Son Bou, privacy and serenity reign.
• Signature dining: A Relais & Châteaux restaurant where local seafood and island produce star.
• Wellness touches: an infinity pool overlooking the horizon, sunset yoga, and massage terraces open to the sea breeze.
• Design restraint: Stone, linen, and light—architecture that whispers rather than shouts.

A Day at Cap Menorca

Morning

Step onto your terrace as dawn paints the cliffs in coral and gold. Breakfast arrives quietly: figs, Mahón cheese, warm ensaïmadas dusted with sugar. You breathe in sea air that feels like medicine.

Afternoon

Swim in the infinity pool where the water seems to spill into the sky; wander to a nearby cove for a barefoot dip. Lunch is sea bass with olive oil and lemon, taken under a white parasol.

Evening

As the sun sinks, the terrace glows amber. A glass of Menorcan wine, a whisper of sea salt on your lips. Dinner unfolds slowly—lobster stew, rosemary ice cream, the sound of waves.

Night

Stars crowd the sky; the wind carries the scent of thyme. You fall asleep to silence, the rarest luxury of all.

Insider Tips for Cap Menorca Relais & Chateaux

• Avoid if you need a lively social scene or beach access. The property is isolated—ideal for peace, not nightlife.
• Bring comfortable sandals and sun protection. The stone paths can get hot and uneven.
• Language and training gaps exist. Be patient and kind; it’s a young international team still finding its rhythm.
• If you encounter problems, document and request in writing.
• Lunch at the pool bar—limited but fresh salads and local seafood are the safest bets.
