Son Ermità & Binidufà
Ferreries, Spain
★ Verified by our editors · July 2026
The verdict
Two 18th-century manor estates — Son Ermità in pale marés sandstone, Binidufà in local red stone — carefully restored by Vestige Collection across 800 hectares of protected Menorcan countryside. Around a dozen rooms in each, seasonal author's kitchens, a spa and pools, and a genuine commitment to sustainability. Rural, design-led and quietly luxurious — a hideaway rather than a resort.
Couples and design lovers who want a serene, sustainable rural estate deep in the Menorcan countryside.
You want to walk to a beach or a town, or need big-resort facilities — this is remote, rural calm.
Ask about the estate's own honey and the traditional llaüt boat trip to the coast, and book dinner at Brisa (Son Ermità) or Mesura (Binidufà).
The rooms
Around eleven rooms and suites in each of the two restored 18th-century manor houses, split between the main houses and converted outbuildings; contemporary, elegant interiors that keep the original stone and beams — pale marés at Son Ermità, warm red stone at Binidufà. Calm, natural and design-led throughout.
The setting
Set across some 800 hectares of protected countryside in rural Menorca — a UNESCO biosphere-reserve island — with gardens, pools and access to a rugged stretch of coast. Wild, green and private; the beaches and towns are a drive away, which is the point.
The food
Two seasonal restaurants — Brisa at Son Ermità and Mesura at Binidufà — cook a flexitarian, produce-led cuisine, some of it from the estate, with author's bars at each house. Honey from the property's own hives features throughout.
Getting there
About 30–40 minutes from Menorca (Maó) airport; Ferreries and Ciutadella are the nearest towns. A car is essential out here, and there's parking on the estate.
Good to know
A Vestige Collection property, largely seasonal and firmly rural — sustainability runs through it, from solar power to beekeeping and sea excursions on a traditional boat. Come for the calm, the design and the countryside rather than beach-on-the-doorstep convenience.
