Sol Beach House was our "base camp" in Menorca. It belongs to the prestigious Melia Hotels International group. We are members of their rewards program so when we travel we always check out Melia hotels first. In today's post I'm going to tell you why we chose this hotel and why you should choose it too.
Let me tell you about the characteristics of this hotel first:
- It's not big for a beach hotel, it only has 180 rooms.
- It's adults only, just guests 16+ can check in.
- It's located on the beach front of Santo Tomas and at walking distance from the town's bars and shops.
- The rooms have a private balcony with stunning views of the sea.
- They offer half-board with buffet for breakfast and dinner.
- They focus on health and fitness. They offer activities like Pilates and yoga and serve organic healthy food.
- Parking is 8€/day but you can always find free parking close by.
UPDATE MAY 2022 - COVID-19
You must show either a valid vaccination certificate or negative PCR result upon enterring Spain. Lockdown measures are gone. Face masks are only mandatory in hospitals and public transport.
Positivity is all around at Sol Beach House, only good vibes are allowed. There are quotes framed in the corridors to remind you of that. Tranquility is also present in every single corner, the fact that it's a small hotel and adults only makes it a perfect place to relax. Our favorite spots were the pool -there's a 50cm deep area where you can just sit and cool down- and the beach beds where we spent hours reading undisturbed.
Another strong point of this Melia Hotel is their commitment to the environment. You can find recycling baskets where you can throw away glass, plastic containers and paper which is something I always miss when I travel. This is the first hotel I've been to where you can recycle.
Once you are outside, you have Menorca at your feet. Santo Tomas is located in the south of the island, more or less in the middle and nothing is far away (Google Maps). You don't need to move if you don't want to, the beach of Santo Tomas is considered one of the best in Menorca. White sand, turquoise water and breathtaking sunsets guaranteed.

The buffet/food stall concept sounds so up my street, I'm a massive foodie too. And the fact they offer yoga and pilates classes is really cool. Think I'd really enjoy staying here!
