ANNOUNCING NEW REPRESENTATION
Introducing Son Vell and Vestige Collection
Just 20-minutes from the historic port town of Ciutadella – flocked to for its charming medieval streets and 14th-century cathedral — and a breath away from sparkling coastline, to stay at Son Vell is to be within reach of Menorca’s natural and cultural riches yet fully immersed in a private bucolic paradise.
This expansive estate and its iconic 18th century manor house opened to guests last year following a meticulous restoration by the family-owned Vestige Collection.
In May 2024, there will be a newcomer to the Greek island of Paros. Welcome, Andronis Minois, the most recent addition to the family-owned hotel brand. A contemporary take on traditional Cycladic architecture, the hotel is a vision in white.
To vacation at Andronis Minois is to feel connected to the Mediterranean as a whole. There are influences from the Spanish, French and Italian rivieras as well as whispers of Moroccan-inspired interiors. Set just 500 feet from the water’s edge, ocean swims and golden sands are always only a few steps away.
