Welcome to Can Faustino, welcome to Menorca

Upon arrival at Can Faustino, Marc and Ignacio, our concierges , await you. They will attend to your arrival, showing you the hotel facilities, accompanying you to your room and introducing you to the staff who will assist you during your stay. In addition, they will guide you when choosing the activities that best suit your interests, booking and planning excursions to our Country Club or recommending beaches and paradisiacal landscapes. 

To give you an idea, we leave you in this post 5 suggestions of Menorcan experiences that you can live with us. And that Marc and Ignacio will extend to you upon arrival at the hotel.

Discover the coast of Menorca on horseback

The attachment that the people of the island have to this noble animal is palpable in many of the details of the historic center. Rings still hang on the facades of old buildings, where the equine was allowed to rest while its owner attended to other matters. For this reason, one of the most significant experiences that you can live in Menorca is a ride on the back of an experienced horse. Ask Marc or Ignacio about the companies that can offer you this unique experience and enjoy a walk at sunset along the Camí de Cavalls.

The taste of the Mediterranean in our dishes

If you prefer a more relaxed plan and you like to try local cuisine, both our menu at Can Faustino Restaurant and the vegetarian dishes at the Country Club are a good option. A deeply rooted characteristic among the Menorcans is that of lovingly cultivating the fruits that the earth produces. Agriculture, and specifically the way in which the field is worked in Menorca, is what has led to preserving the landscape as it has not been done in any other island in the Balearic Islands. 

Ask your trusted concierge for the menu of our restaurant. Or organize a visit to the Orchard, where we grow the seasonal vegetables and fruits that we use in our kitchen.

The magic of the historic center of Ciutadella

The history of Ciutadella is written on its walls. In its cobbled streets and its quiet corners. In one of those corners are our palaces. Getting lost in the surroundings of Can Faustino is to discover the life of a city steeped in history. First thing in the morning, the bustle of the Market Square will give you an idea of ​​the vitality of the natives, who make their daily purchase of fresh produce from the garden, fish and meat. A few minutes away, you can enjoy the solemnity and the refuge offered by the Cathedral of Menorca, which presents a unique mix of architectural styles in the city. Places such as the El Roser exhibition hall, another old church, or Can Saura, a palace converted into a municipal museum, will show you touches of the centuries of history that weigh on Ciutadella. 

Both Marc and Ignacio will be able to advise you on the most emblematic buildings to visit, along with the history that surrounds them.

The sunset, a spectacle of nature

Although the sunsets in Menorca are spectacular, the views from Ciutadella are legendary. Being the most westerly municipality of the island, any place is perfect to observe how the sun star says goodbye to the day. Spaces such as Punta Nati, the Pont d'en Gil or Cala Morell are almost pilgrimage places. 

There are other enclaves with magic from which to marvel at the sunset over the Mediterranean. Check with Marc and Ignacio from where you can enjoy this spectacle of nature, which bathes the horizon in pink tones. They can also tell you how to get there.

Walk along the coast 

One of the most beautiful experiences that can be lived in Menorca is to uncover its secrets from the sea. At Can Faustino we have days on the high seas, aboard our ship Heloise . A classic cut mahogany wood boat with all the necessary comforts to enjoy a different day. Feel the pleasure of the breeze on your face and bathe in the turquoise waters of places like Fontanelles, the with direct access to the Country Club. 

If you find the plan attractive, both Marc and Ignacio will be able to advise you and explain in more depth what a day aboard Heloise is like.
