Setting

Agrarian isle

Coming soon to a Balearic island near you, Amagatay is an agriturismo for making hay while the sun shines (literally) from April to October in Menorca. The fabulous farmstay has been adopted by a set of somewhat more stylish owners, who have transformed its 19th-century cow sheds and oxen stables into sleek suites with a colour palette that would put most spas to shame. Alaior is in one direction, Mahón on the coast is in another, and, forming a ring around the entire isle, is the Camí de Cavalls, or Path of Horses, ready for scenic seaside strolls – if you’re ever willing to move.

Our Favourite Rooms

The Balearics may get busy in the summer, but you’d never know it from the serene, secluded comfort of your four-metre-high Amagatay Deluxe with Garden and Countryside Views – all 142 square metres of it. This suite is in the old cow shed, but there’s nothing bovine about it.

Poolside

Amagatay’s 86 acres have ample space for a pool – there’s one overlooking the olive groves, open from 9am to 9pm.

Packing Tips

Amagatay may be a farm, but you don’t have to take it literally; dungarees are only optional and no trowels are required.

Also

Massages and private yoga classes can be arranged on request.

Children

Leave the little Smiths at home, this one's for over-16s only.

Food & Drink

Top Table

Breathing in the good-life air outdoors on the estate, or having the chef cook up a Salt Bae-worthy storm in your private garden.

Dress Code

Worzel and Sally can stay firmly in the late 1970s.

Hotel Restaurant

Farm-to-table around here consists of local and seasonal products (some grown right here in the garden) cooked at a grill next to your seat, all generously doused, obviously, in estate-made olive oil. This extends to seafood from Menorca’s 200 kilometres of coastline. At breakfast, you can enjoy the island’s output, with homegrown fruit gracing the buffet and à la carte options available.

Hotel Bar

Next to the pool in the gardens, the bar is ready with cooling cocktails and post-swim snacks any time from 10am (you’re on holiday…).

Last Orders

Breakfast is served from 8am until 11am; lunch service runs from 1pm to 4pm; and dinner can be ordered between 7pm and 10pm. The bar is open until midnight.

Room Service

Breakfast can be served in your room if you’d prefer and a more extensive room-service menu is in the works.

Planes

Menorca’s airport is handily in Mahón, just a 15-minute drive from the finca. The hotel can arrange transfers for you for €70 each way.

Automobiles

You’ll need a car to get to the beaches and port towns – stow it away at the hotel’s free outdoor car park.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Amagatay is between the inland town of Alaior in the middle of Menorca and its coastal capital, Mahón (also called Maó in Catalan). The hotel team can arrange activities all over the island, whether you want to hike or bike along its trails, which include the 86-kilometre Camí de Cavalls, an ancient path that winds around Menorca’s coastline. Intrepid hikers will be rewarded with some of the hardest-to-reach beaches on the island. To expend a little less energy, you can book an electric bicycle (or a horse) to do the hard work for you. You’ll also be able to make the most of the water, with sailing trips, kayaking, diving and snorkelling, and swims in the secluded Cales Coves. On dry land, don’t miss the Mola Fortress in Mahón; and archaeology geeks will enjoy touring the prehistoric settlements of Talatí de Dalt and Torralba d'en Salort.
