Hotel Santo Tomas

Dedicated staff renowned for their friendliness

Settings don’t get much prettier than at Santo Tomas. This handsome four-star hotel is situated mere footsteps from the lapping blue Mediterranean sea, hidden from sight by Menorca’s rocky headland. The hotel itself is found on one of the longest and most beautiful beaches on the island.

Water babies needn’t content themselves with just the sea though. Santo Tomas has one of the prettiest pools we’ve ever seen. This is an upscale resort - its quiet, beachfront setting makes it a top choice for guests who are looking for a chance to get away from it all. The vibe is peaceful and relaxed, great for families with young children who can run and explore the extensive, well-tended gardens. If you do want to sample a taste of the local town, then Santo Tomas village is very close by. Enjoy a plate of the island’s famous paella in one of the many restaurants that face the dreamy harbour.

Hotel Santo Tomas prides itself on its discreet and attentive staff. So it’s not surprising that so many guests return year after year. And why not? It’s the kind of place that is tied to good things: good food, great times and new levels of R and R.

About the location

The small, serene resort of Santo Tomas is home to two gorgeous, unspoilt beaches. This is a little village where relaxed, low key holidaying is the name of the game - there’s none of the hustle and bustle of neighbouring islands like Majorca and Ibiza. Moreover, Menorca is to poetry what the other Ballerics are to prose.

The whole island was declared a UNESCO international BioSphere in 1993. The accolade aims to preserve environmental areas, such as the Parc Natural S’Albufera des Grau wetlands, and its liberal sprinkling of mysterious Bronze Age sites. These are found on the other side of the island but are still only a 30-minute drive away. Hire a car, explore the site and get to know a bit of the island beyond the beach.

Located halfway up the island's south coast, the village of Santo Tomas itself is picture-perfect. Colourful boats bob serenely in the harbour and a handful of restaurants serve local and international inspired fare. Menorca’s compact capital, Mahon (or Maó, as it is known locally) is about a 30-minute drive, while the island’s other city, Ciutadella, is about 30-minutes in the other direction. It’s lots of fun to jump on a ferry to visit the other islands on day trips, so don’t hesitate to brush off your Spanish and explore the surrounding area.

“ Relaxing stay with wonderful sea views and super friendly service

Naomioh, London, United Kingdom

May 15 2022

We absolutely loved our week at Hotel Santo Tomas, and came home feeling relaxed and refreshed! The staff are without exception supremely friendly and helpful. Everything is spotless, comfortable and well maintained, and there are lots of nice little touches to make you feel extra welcome. The views from our room (a master room) were sensational, but any room with a sea view would be good. There is a large outdoor pool with a pleasant, spacious sunbed space surrounding it. The wellness centre is free for guests and made for a very nice addition to our stay - with a small indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and gym that was perfect for us (but if you are specifically looking for a spa break, perhaps a little more basic than a dedicated spa hotel). Not so relevant for us as a couple, but if you are travelling with friends there are lots of communal spaces to relax inside and out. We did enjoy both the indoor bar with evening entertainment and the outdoor bar/restaurant, Malibu, which is right on the seafront and simply has the loveliest views. The food served at Malibu and the breakfast buffet (we didn't try the evening buffet) is perfectly nice, excellent quality and reasonably priced, and has a varied selection for every taste - but there are also some really excellent other places locally, so I would suggest trying them too. One thing we really liked was the amount of local produce - featuring artisanal cheeses and meats produced on a local farm belonging to the Menorcan family who own the SET group (including this hotel). Beyond the hotel, the Santo Tomas resort is very quiet and peaceful, with plentiful beach space, scenic walking trails and excellent food/drink spots - perfect for a relaxing break! (disclaimer: we have only been during term time, so it might be different in school holidays) That said, there is currently some construction work at the neighbouring hotel, which is being refurbished. It is due to finish soon, and is no longer at the noisiest construction phase. The current level of noise didn't bother us at all, especially as luckily most of Hotel Santo Tomas's rooms face the opposite way (and the management makes sure all guests are in these rooms, space allowing). But if you think it is something that might concern you, I suggest asking the hotel about it before you book - even though it is an issue completely beyond their control, they are very informative and helpful about it, and I am sure they would let you know whether your travel dates would be when construction is still ongoing, and whether they could guarantee a room in the other side of the hotel if so. We would happily come back to Hotel Santo Tomas for another relaxing stay, and can highly recommend it to other travellers!
