Dining
Your stay at S'Hotelet d'es Born typically includes a delicious breakfast that celebrates local Menorcan flavours. You'll wake up to the smell of fresh coffee and local pastries served in a charming courtyard or the elegant indoor dining room. While the hotel focuses on a high-quality Bed & Breakfast service, you'll be within walking distance of some of Ciutadella's most acclaimed restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood and Mediterranean dishes while catching the refreshing sea breeze at the harbour.
Pools and Spa
One of the most striking features is the rooftop pool where you can take a dip while looking out over the terracotta rooftops and church spires of the old town. If you’re looking for deeper relaxation, head downstairs to the wellness area. In a unique architectural twist, the spa is situated in a former 16th-century underground cistern, offering a tranquil, cave-like atmosphere for your swim. Please note that use of the spa facilities, including the sauna, steam room, massages, and beauty treatments, may be subject to additional charges.
Beach
While the hotel is tucked away in the historic centre, the nearest swimming spots like Cala des Degollador are within walking distance. For the famous turquoise waters of Cala Macarella or Cala Turqueta, you'll find them just a short drive or bus journey from the hotel. As these are public beaches, any sun loungers or umbrellas are typically managed by local providers and are available at an extra charge.
Sport and Entertainment
The atmosphere here is all about tranquil relaxation and soaking up the local Menorcan lifestyle. You can spend your evenings wandering the cobblestone streets of Ciutadella or enjoying a chilled glass of wine on the hotel’s rooftop as the sun sets over the palace walls. The hotel team is happy to help you arrange local excursions, boat trips, or car hires if you fancy exploring the rugged coastline and hidden lighthouses at your own pace.
Family Amenities
Families are welcome to enjoy the central location and the spacious feel of the suites. While the hotel maintains a peaceful boutique vibe, younger guests will love the rooftop pool for a quick splash after a day of exploring. Being in the heart of the city means you are always within walking distance of local ice cream parlours and pedestrian-friendly squares.
