Torralbenc, Cala En Porter, Spain

Stonewashed barns, tamarisk trees, and the distant hush of the Mediterranean: 

Torralbenc distills Menorca’s rural soul into a 27-key hideaway near Cala en Porter. Pathways of pale limestone thread through lavender and olive groves to whitewashed villas and terraces perfumed by wild herbs. 

It’s countryside calm with sea breezes—simple, tactile, and irresistibly Mediterranean.

What Makes It Special

• Boutique scale (27) across restored farm buildings and villa-style suites.
• Historic Menorcan architecture: vaulted ceilings, lime-plastered walls, and terracotta tiles.
• On-site vineyard & Menorcan cuisine spotlighting island produce and local wines.
• Serene pool terrace gazing over vineyards and down to the coast.
• Holistic wellness: treatments using island botanicals; sunrise yoga on stone patios.

A Day at Torralbenc

Morning

Wake to doves cooing in the pines and the scent of warm rosemary. Breakfast brings mahón cheese, sun-sweet tomatoes, and ensaïmada still dusted with sugar on a shaded pergola.

Afternoon

Drift between saltwater pool and siesta; cycle country lanes lined with dry-stone walls to cliff-top views over Cala en Porter. A swim at a hidden cala tastes faintly of salt and wild thyme carried on the breeze.

Evening

Back at the finca, glasses bead with chilled Malvasía from the estate. Dinner is lobster caldereta, grilled red prawns, and citrus olive-oil cake as swallows stitch the sky.

Night

Crickets take over; the patio stones hold a whisper of heat. Look up—the stars here feel close enough to pluck.
