An aerial view of Montana del Aguila reveals the full sweep of the estate, with its whitewashed stone pavilion, lap pool, and terracotta-roofed structures set against a rolling Mediterranean landscape.
The lap pool at Montana del Aguila sits within a dry-stone walled enclosure, framed by centuries-old olive trees and offering open views across the Menorcan hillside.
The games room at Montana del Aguila features deep plum wainscoting, a pair of mid-century yellow armchairs, a backgammon table, and ornate encaustic tile flooring that lend the space a richly layered, bohemian character.
Montana del Aguila is an 11-bedroom restored finca in Menorca, sleeping 22 guests across more than 1,000 square metres of interconnecting living space, set amongst open countryside with views reaching to the horizon. The property was painstakingly restored by its owner and furnished with vintage pieces sourced at auction alongside bespoke and designer commissions, giving it a character that no decorator-led villa package can replicate. Three floors each carry a distinct personality: the ground floor is grounded and practical, with a covered loggia and a dedicated gym and yoga studio; the first floor is the social heart of the house, anchored by the Gran Salòn with its marble bar, striking floor tiles and library; the second floor is quieter and more minimal, arranged around a cinema room. Outside, a 25-metre heated pool sits at the centre of a series of terraces furnished with pieces from Ethimo, Kettal and Triu, with a pool house, outdoor kitchen and boules court completing the picture. From June to September, a full chef and housekeeping service is included, covering seven breakfasts, six lunches, seven dinners and all snacks, drinks and spirits. The nearest sandy beaches at Santo Tomàs are three kilometres away, with Mahón airport 20 kilometres from the gate. Montana del Aguila sits within the CV ABOVE Collection, the operator's top tier. It works best as a house for large families or a group celebrating something significant, where space, staff and a singular aesthetic matter more than proximity to a resort.

June to September is the natural window for Montana del Aguila, when the full chef and housekeeping service operates and the pool's solar heating is at its most effective. July and August are peak months with the warmest sea temperatures and the longest days. June and September offer the same sunshine with fewer visitors and more availability on the island's best boat trips and restaurants.
01The Architecture
The finca dates back in its original form to traditional Menorcan rural architecture, with thick stone walls built to manage the island's heat and occasional tramuntana wind. The restoration preserved the building's essential character whilst opening it across three full floors, with the ground level connecting directly to the main terrace and pool through a series of loggia and sliding…
02The Interior
The interior is the defining feature of this property, assembled by the owner from auction finds, bespoke commissions and designer pieces sourced worldwide. The first floor Gran Salòn sets the tone: striking original floor tiles, a marble bar, a library, games tables and multiple seating areas occupy a single room that reads as a curated showcase rather than a holiday…
03The Outdoor
The 25-metre heated pool is the centrepiece of the outdoor space, oriented to take in the countryside views and surrounded by furniture from Italian brand Ethimo, Catalan brand Kettal and Belgian brand Triu. A pool house sits alongside it with a kitchenette, dining table, outdoor shower and a wheelchair-accessible WC. Multiple terraces at different levels offer distinct settings: a shaded…
04The Location
Montana del Aguila sits in the south-centre of Menorca, positioned between the small village of Es Migjorn two kilometres to the east and the longer beach resort of Santo Tomàs three kilometres to the south. Son Bou, one of Menorca's longest sandy beaches, is four kilometres away. The island's capital, Mahón, is 20 kilometres by road and worth an afternoon…

Families with young children are well provided for, with a cot,…
