Divina Suites, Ciutadella, Menorca - Explore & Book
"The entrance to Divina is so inconspicuously integrated into the quaint, winding lanes of Ciutadella's Old Town, you might easily trundle past it accidentally. And stepping inside, the reception of the beautifully converted 17th-century palazzo is equally underplayed – a small, high-ceilinged room, which is the only common area of the hotel. Divina is basically all about its 8 wonderful suites. Each is unique, blending period touches with eclectic styling and 21st-century tech, and feels more like a mini apartment than a hotel room, with a separate living area and kitchen. Ultra-private and chic but homely, they are perfect for a romantic break.Should you need anything, concierge service is consciously unobtrusive yet personal, via WhatsApp. And though there's no restaurant onsite, the city's burgeoning dining scene is just a short stroll away. If you're after an atmosphere of reclusive calm this is perfect: romantic and high-end, nestled deep in Ciutadella's charming medieval centre.
