The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the peaceful vibe and the food, often calling it a 'sanctuary' or 'oasis'.
Amagatay Luxury Boutique Hotel - Adults Only
$350-550/ night
Book this if You want a silent, rustic-chic Menorcan farm stay where the loudest noise is a distant sheep and the olive oil is pressed on-site.
Why People Love It
- Authentic 19th-century farmhouse architecture with high beams and dry stone walls
- Two exceptional on-site restaurants (El Olivar and Sua) meaning you don't have to drive for dinner
- Dead silence at night—perfect for escaping city chaos
Quick Take: A stunningly beautiful restoration that occasionally prioritizes aesthetic over function (watch out for dark rooms), but the food and peace make up for it.
Reviewed by @LuxuryTravel: I stayed here for a total reset and it delivered. The infinity pool looking out over the trees is magic, and the rustic stone interiors feel so cozy yet high-end. If you want to disconnect in Menorca, this is the spot.

Room Genie
Best picks
- Amagatay Deluxe with Garden (Old Cow Shed) — Huge (140+ sqm incl. garden), high ceilings, very private.
- Superior Suite with Private Terrace — Best for sunset views over the olive groves.
Rooms to avoid
- Standard 'Studio' rooms in the main house — One specific review warned of 'two very small windows (20cm)' and poor lighting, making it feel cave-like.
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I am looking forward to my stay. Please ensure I am NOT assigned one of the studios with the small 20cm windows; I require a room with ample natural light. If available, a room in the 'Boyera' (stables) section would be preferred for the high ceilings.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the pool heated?
No, it's a refreshing outdoor pool. Perfect for July/August, but brisk in May or October.
Can I walk to the beach?
No. The nearest beaches (Cala en Porter, Son Bou) are a 10-15 minute drive away.
Is there a gym?
Technically yes (advertised as 24-hour), but reports suggest it's very basic. Yoga mats are provided but have been described as 'poor quality'.
Is it truly adults only?
Yes, strictly 18+. The vibe is very mature and quiet.
How is the WiFi?
Surprisingly good for a rural location (Starlink or fiber is common in these renovations now), suitable for remote work.
Do I need an SUV?
No, the roads are paved, but a smaller car is better for navigating the narrow lanes of nearby Alaior.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Ask for a room in the 'Boyera' (stables) building for higher ceilings and a more spacious feel than the main farmhouse.
- ✨
The hotel produces its own olive oil—ask to taste it with fresh bread at dinner.
- ✨
Visit the 'Torralba d'en Salort' prehistoric site just 1 minute away—it's often empty and incredibly atmospheric at golden hour.
5 things to know before you go
💡The lighting in the rooms is designed for romance, not reading—it can be frustratingly dim.
💡The 'gym' is an afterthought; don't plan your training block here.
💡You are in the middle of a field—flies and ants are part of the deal, especially poolside.
💡Service can feel a bit stiff or 'trying too hard' compared to the relaxed vibe of the island.
💡The bathroom layout in some suites is open-plan, so make sure you're comfortable with your roommate.
