The first “grand luxury hotel” to arrive on Menorca, Villa Le Blanc is perched beside Santo Tomás Beach on the Camí de Cavalls trail, with direct access to the sands via its garden. Blending perfectly into its surroundings, the whitewashed and glass balconied property echoes the local architecture and takes an eco-conscious approach to hospitality. Cuisine by S’Amarador and Joan Canals is served at CRU, there’s a Thai Room Spa and Wellness Centre onsite and a pool overlooking the sea. Bedrooms are swathed in shades of cream, with some suites adding private terraces, plunge pools and freestanding tubs.
