Villa Santa Ponca

Villa Santa Ponça is an expertly restored property in the heart of Menorca. Nestled within a sprawling 108-hectare private park, this elegant 18th-century farmhouse, formerly the residence of a prominent Menorcan family, provides unparalleled tranquillity and privacy, perfect for a luxury getaway.

Within its sprawling, landscaped grounds, the villa features a sparkling swimming pool surrounded by ancient olive trees, shady palms, and gardens brimming with lush vegetation. The pool area is the perfect place to relax and soak up the sunshine from a poolside lounger or take in the views across the property’s northern facade and beyond.

Guests can also enjoy easy beach access via cleared ancestral paths with restored dry-stone walls, which lead directly to Cala Mitjana Beach within 10 minutes on bicycle or 20 minutes on foot.

There are various spaces for outdoor relaxation and entertaining throughout the grounds, including a poolside bar with sound system, shaded patios, and a tranquil reading spot set beside trickling fountains. For relaxed al fresco meals, a well-equipped outdoor kitchen is available, featuring both gas and wood-burning barbecues.

This fully operational farm offers a taste of traditional island life, allowing guests to experience Menorca’s agricultural richness. The estate features ancient olive groves, livestock, and a vibrant “huerto” (vegetable garden), allowing guests to enjoy fresh, seasonal produce, along with eggs, golden honey, and olive oil throughout their stay.

For those seeking friendly competition or a chance to keep up their fitness routine during their stay, the property also boasts a pétanque zone, a padel court, a yoga deck, an indoor fitness area, and a collection of e-bikes. Post-workout, guests can enjoy a massage in the villa’s treatment room.

Inside, the property features high ceilings, tiled floors, and carefully selected pieces from France, Portugal, and Spain, reflecting the estate’s rich heritage. The bright living and dining spaces are ideal for convivial socialising, while the traditional kitchen and galley add additional charm and character.

Attached to the main house is a private 18th-century chapel, providing a serene space for relaxation, solitude, and reflection.

The main house features six comfortable bedrooms, plus an additional two-bedroom annexe for larger groups for those seeking additional privacy. Most rooms boast en-suite facilities, while those sharing bathrooms are perfect for families travelling with children or teens.

With its historic charm combined with modern facilities, Villa Santa Ponça is the perfect choice for those seeking an authentic countryside escape in Menorca, without compromising on luxury.
