Vestige Collection
Spain
Vestige Collection is a Spanish hospitality brand with a clear vision; to leave behind a legacy of cultural and environmental richness for future generations to enjoy. With one foot rooted firmly in history, restoration and the preservation of cultural heritage; and the other looking towards the future, the group brings a progressive approach to safeguarding architectural treasures, while breathing in new life and contemporary design to create a wholly unique collection of boutique hotels, private estates and event venues.
Family-owned, Vestige is the culmination of a mission to act as custodians of historical-cultural heritage, preserving and regenerating sites of exceptional architectural, environmental and community significance. Over the past 15 years, the family has been quietly acquiring and restoring a portfolio of 25 extraordinary sites across Spain. Properties range from abandoned 13th Century palaces and castles, to early 20th Century modernist builds, many are listed as Cultural Heritage Sites and all were rescued from oblivion to be restored with integrity, paying respect to the unique architectural identity and character of each one.
HOTELS
Son Vell
July 2023 saw them open the doors open to their first hotel, Vestige Son Vell. A meticulously restored 18th Century manor house ensconced in verdant Menorcan countryside, this symbol of Menorcan elegance is just 20-minutes from the enchanting city of Ciutadella and a short stroll to a glistening Balearic beach. Son Vell’s 33 rooms are spread across the grounds of the historic 180-hectare estate, from the sandstone walls of the grand Italianate-style manor house, to the rustic charm of five different farm buildings. Having been abandoned and fallen into disrepair, this former residency was bought by the family in 2019 who, together with architect Enrique Motilla and an expert team of historians, curators, craftspeople, designers and artists, began a delicate and detailed restoration process over three years, to bring the estate back to life. The result is an architectural triumph set within an idyllic oasis of citrus trees, olive groves, organic vegetable gardens and working farmland.
Two restaurants serve up seasonal fare sourced from the hotel’s own farmland or local artisan producers. Sa Clarisa is the spot for a leisurely lunch while evenings can be spent under the stars at Vermell, where the menu pays tribute to island life and stately Menorcan cuisine.
Son Ermità and Binidufà
The brand unveiled Vestige Son Ermità in June 2025, with sister hotel, Vestige Binidufà, set to follow in April 2026. Set amongst 800 rural hectares, these two hotels, sharing a historic farm estate, see a new level of elegance and sophistication to the mellow island of Menorca.
The two hotels, comprising 10 spacious guest bedrooms and sumptuous suites in Son Ermità, 11 in Binidufà and a sprinkling of expertly renovated outbuildings, guests can opt to stay at Binidufà which sits within the valley adorned by swaying palms beneath cerulean skies, or Son Ermità which rises majestically with astounding views over land and sea. Sophisticated interiors pay homage to the properties’ original features, while also embracing contemporary design with locally sourced furniture and restored antiques, natural materials and art.
PRIVATE RESIDENCIES
Palacio de Figueras
With rolling green hills that mimic Switzerland and a rugged coastline to rival Cornwall, Asturias is fast emerging as one of Spain’s most exciting under-the-radar summer spots. On the edge of the coastal town of Figueras, perched above the Eo River, Vestige Collection’s first project, Palacio de Figueras offers a front-row seat to the region’s raw natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. The 500-year-old palace has been carefully restored, taking 11 arduous years; the contribution it made to the region’s architectural heritage saw the family receive the prestigious gold medal from Oviedo’s Chamber of Commerce.
With 11 rooms, perfect for a multigenerational escape, it’s a striking base from which to explore the area’s food scene, dramatic coastal trails and charming fishing towns.
Santa Ana
July 2024 saw Vestige debut Santa Ana, a charming six-bedroom country house in the sunlit lands of southwest Menorca. Set within a 210-hectare estate and only a ten-minute walk to two of the island’s best beaches, Cala Macarella and Cala Macarelleta. Serene interiors combine elegance with ancient wooden beams, natural textiles and terracotta tiles, sitting alongside local artworks and antiques. Guests can engage with a number of experience, from horse rides along the ancient Cami de Cavalls, private boat tours to discover hidden coves or come nightfall, guided stargazing where a local astronomer shares stories from the sky.
Miramar
Miramar is a sublime and spacious nine-bedroom mansion, affording guests the convenience of city living with the luxury of panoramic sea views. Miramar adjoins the lauded Gothic landmark of Palma cathedral or La Seu to the locals, which is seen as the city’s hub and culturual treasure trove due to its spectacular interiors designed by Antoni Gaudí. It’s connection to the cathedral together with its proximity to Passeig del Born, the famed tree-lined avenue peppered with chic boutiques and local cuisine, means Miramar has the most enviable location in the island’s capital.
