Hotels in the Balearic islands are known for their splendid sense of hospitality, offering a heady combination of local charm and old-world graciousness. It’s a fantastic accompaniment to any stay on an island in Spain, and Menorca is a fantastic place to get away from it all, and indulge in the local flavor. Rich and exotic, and with a dizzying history, along with a fairly stunning prehistory, Menorca has an appeal that goes beyond just the desire for luxury. However, luxury is in large supply here, and you can certainly find tastes of it at our hotels. Menorca is a gorgeous place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, and come back to your senses in elegant Spanish style.

Spain is a place where style is never taken for granted. It’s one of the more fascinating aspects of the place, and it doesn’t take long before that infectious eye for fine detail starts to work its way into your own sensibility. You’ll certainly be enjoying a stylish kind of luxury here, with rich nights and heavenly days that speak to a primal need to be closer to water. Water is related to the unconscious in most psychological constructions of the human personality, at least as far as Western Freudian theory goes. There are some schools of Jungian thought that consider water in a similar manner, to be one of the primary archetypes of the collective unconscious.

The notion of the collective unconscious, although it’s certainly very useful in looking at some basic ideas of what lies just below the surface of all things, has been a bit problematic in recent years. Some critics of strict Jungian analysis see the idea of a collective unconscious as another subtle attempt to colonize people, and this time through the mind itself. They hold that, although it may be true that some of the central metaphors in cultural histories, such as a flood story, the image of the great mother, and the moon as always a female presence, repeat themselves over time and place, that there is more complexity than a strict Jungian reading would suggest. It’s one way of looking at water, revealing it to be much more infinitely deep than one could even imagine. There is a Yoruba proverb that says that no one really knows what lies at the bottom of the sea, although a vacation in Menorga might be a good start at learning.
