A building with charisma
It was the facade of S'Antiga itself that first attracted our attention. We were captivated by this striking building, with decorated marés stone cornices and a beautiful balcony in the middle, reminiscent of manor houses. This indeed was the characterful building we were looking for. Yet the façade tells only part of the story, an interesting story that began when the house was built in 1892. To transform S'Antiga into the hotel it is today, we redesigned the interior, optimising existing spaces and preserving a number of structural features, such as the large central marés stone wall. A skylight provides light during the day, lighting up the wall and stairway to the bedrooms. Our objective was for the architecture of S'Antiga to be entirely Mediterranean in style, bringing in natural light and preserving existing features and elements. The refurbishment therefore involved elements such as marés stone, exposed wooden beams, soft outlines and the use of white. The tranquillity of Es Mercadal reigns in the inner courtyard, which is equipped with a swimming pool and seating area.
Because of our commitment to conserving Menorca, S'Antiga is now an eco-friendly establishment. We have installed solar panels, a greywater recycling system and reverse osmosis water treatment, among other things. Our commitment to the environment applies to the products we serve you; we always ensure they are produced locally.
