Overview
The cocktail provocateurs behind Menorca Experimental aren’t letting the natural beauty of this biodiverse Balearic distract from their USP: delicious food and to-die-for drinks. A 19th-century former farmhouse and one-time artist’s agriturismo sets the scene: a place where you might find a modern-day Miró sketching among the pine shrubs, juniper groves and wildflowers. Designer Dorothée Meilichzon has preserved the original features and golden Marés stone, while adding her playful, art-deco-inspired details. And, if you can tear yourself away from the infinity pool, walled gardens and head chef Sylvain Roucayrol’s Catalan cuisine, the beach is just 15 minutes away down a rock-strewn path.

Dining information
Restaurant:
Head chef Sylvain Roucayrol, who also runs the restaurant at the group’s sister spot the Henrietta Hotel, takes his inspiration from Basque and Catalan cuisine. The result is regional classics with a modern twist that never skimp on flavour, colour or personality. Ingredients are sourced locally from boutique producers or grown in the finca’s own vegetable garden. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating – hidden booths for whispering and a 20-person communal table for lively groups. The carefully chosen wine list is complemented by a new menu of Experimental Cocktails with herbs and aromatics from the gardens.
Top Table:
Snag a table on the terrace for stunning views of Mediterranean blue and stirring sea breezes.
Last Orders:
Breakfast is served from 8am to a leisurely 11am. Lunch is served by the pool from 12:30pm to 3:30pm; dinner is 7pm–11pm.
Room Service:
The full restaurant menu is available as room service during opening hours.
Hotel Bar:
Since the Experimental Group is synonymous with modish mixology, you won’t be disappointed by the first-class cocktails here. Drinks can be served either in the retro bar in the double-height lobby or sipped in the sunshine around the infinity pool.
