Overview

Hotel Playa Santandria is an adults-only, three-star property set at the far end of the narrow bay of Santandria in Ciutadella de Menorca. The hotel occupies a seafront position directly above Cala Santandría and offers uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean and the surrounding Menorcan landscape of white houses and pine forests. With forty-one double rooms in total, the accommodation is arranged to provide either frontal sea views from a furnished terrace or lateral and partial sea views from terraces furnished for relaxation. The hotel retains a family-managed character that dates back to its origins as the 1960s property “Ses Set Voltes”, reflecting a continuous emphasis on close, personal service and a long-running local culinary tradition.

Location

Located less than three kilometres from the centre of Ciutadella, the hotel sits at the end of a compact bay where the water is bright blue and the sand is fine and white. Guests can reach the beach with a short walk from the property and benefit from direct access to the coastal setting: pine-shaded coastline, traditional white Menorcan houses and easy connections to local cultural routes, markets and events in the nearby town. The position above Cala Santandría makes it straightforward to plan nautical excursions, coastal walks or visits to the historic and gastronomic attractions of Ciutadella.

Facilities

The hotel provides an outdoor swimming pool with an adjoining solarium area where comfortable sun loungers are available for guests who prefer to remain on the property. Practical facilities include a free safety deposit box in every room and a small fridge, and umbrellas and beach towels are provided for use at the pool or beach. Reception operates 24 hours and the property offers additional services such as wake-up calls, free internet (Wi-Fi) throughout rooms and public areas and a courtesy bottle of water on arrival. A massage service is available at extra cost and, subject to availability, the hotel can assist with information and reservations for car hire, restaurant bookings and local tickets.

Room

Accommodation comprises double and double/twin rooms, each designed to be bright and comfortable with a private furnished terrace to enjoy the sea breeze. Rooms are equipped with the option of two single beds or a double bed, a full bathroom that includes a hairdryer and shower, television with international channels, telephone, internet access, minibar, a free safe, air conditioning and a desk with seating. A number of rooms have terraces with direct frontal sea views and are furnished with a table and chairs, while others provide lateral or partial sea views and are furnished either with a regular terrace set or, in some cases, a larger terrace including private hammocks.

Sports & Entertainment

The hotel provides an island base for a wide range of activities rather than an extensive on-site entertainment programme. Guests who want to be active can swim in the Mediterranean, use the hotel pool and solarium or relax on the comfortable sun loungers. The property also supplies information and assistance for outdoor pursuits around Menorca, including nautical excursions, water sports, hiking routes, organised horse excursions and bicycle rental information. The reception team can help with arrangements for adventure activities, cultural visits and local sporting experiences, enabling visitors to explore the variety of natural and cultural offerings on the island.

Dining & Bars

Dining at and around the hotel leans on a longstanding local reputation for fish and meat dishes, expressed most clearly at the nearby Es Bruc chiringuito on the beach. Es Bruc has served fish and meat specialities from Menorca for many decades and offers a casual, summery setting on a privileged terrace with views across the Mediterranean. On-site facilities include a bar and food and drink service, while the hotel’s location on the bay makes it simple to reach a selection of local restaurants and beachside dining options in Ciutadella and along the coast.
