"Compared to busy Mallorca and the party mecca of Ibiza to the southwest, the island of Minorca sees precious few tourists. And that, of course, is the key to its appeal. Not that you’re going to isolated when you check into a place like Faustino Gran Relais & Chateaux: the 24-room boutique is located just across from the port of Ciutadella. It’s an older city than you’d think, serving as the island’s religious center since the fourth century, once governed by the Moors. Thanks to that age-old cultural confluence, the port city has a medina-like feel, the sort of place that’s made for wandering, drinking in the evening silhouettes and views over pristine white beaches and the clear blue waters beyond." - Tablet Hotels
