The three-pearl Hotel Ses Sucreres is a delightful boutique property set in the peaceful and picturesque town of Ferreries. The French owners have sensitively restored this 19th-century building, while adding plenty of quirky charm and eclectic decor. While its six rooms and suites are spacious and bright, they do lack some normal in-room amenities, such as TVs. A free buffet breakfast, honor bar, and communal fridge make up most of the facilities, plus guests are treated to regular events such as movie nights. Travelers who favor this sort of cozy jewel-box hotel will also love the Boutique Hotel Jardi de ses Bruixes in the capital Mahón, which includes a spa, though it's a pricier option.

Part of the trendy Artiem chain, Hotel Capri is a three-and-a-half-pearl urban property located in Mahon's center. While the immediate area isn't much to look at, the charming narrow streets of the old town are just 10 minutes' walk away. The hotel's 75 modern but slightly uninspired guest rooms range from tiny with internal views to spacious with whirlpool tubs. An impressive rooftop pool with panoramic views is a real highlight, plus a selection of spa facilities. Quality buffet meals with local produce also score high, and there's an English pub-style bar that provides a cozy spot for an evening drink. The property is a little rough around the edges in places and not quite as polished as its fellow Artiem-chain hotels, but it's still a solid option for business travelers and city breakers. For harbor views at around the same price point, consider the Catalonia Mirador des Port a short stroll away.

The Jardí de Ses Bruixes is a charming four-pearl boutique hotel occupying a typical early 19th-century townhouse in the heart of Mahon old town. Opened in 2014, the welcoming and cozy property has been beautifully renovated, retaining all its period character. Spread across two neighboring buildings, its 16 guest rooms combine original features such as vintage tiling with chic, understated decor; all also feature luxury bathrooms, Egyptian bed linens, and wood-burning stoves. The cafe-restaurant serves a free cooked-to-order breakfast, which can be enjoyed in a lovely secluded courtyard under orange trees. A panoramic rooftop terrace and deluxe basement spa complete a fabulous package -- though it's not cheap. Sea-view rooms and an outdoor pool are available for less at the harbor-side Hotel Port Mahon.

The Hotel Port Mahon is an upscale, adult-oriented property located at the chic east side of Minorca's capital city, within walking distance of its old town. The mostly residential area is laid-back, though there's a swanky yacht marina lined with quayside restaurants a couple minutes' walk away. While the hotel's general vibe is classic old-school elegance, decor in the 82 guest rooms and suites is relatively lackluster, though many open to balconies with superb harbor views. The outdoor pool offers similar vistas in a pleasant garden with plentiful loungers, as does the restaurant's alfresco terrace. For a flavor of Old Mahon in a posh setting, this is the city's finest option. Travelers looking for a stay that's more trendy -- plus spa and fitness facilities, which Hotel Port Mahon lacks -- should consider the Artiem Carlos III, which also features great harbor views.

The Catalonia Mirador des Port is a three-pearl chain hotel located on the outer edge of Mahon city center with -- as the name suggests -- a great vantage point over its harbor. Its 72 guest rooms are semi-updated with mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and functional bathrooms. Many feature pretty harbor views with top-level rooms also opening to furnished terraces, though most lack outside space. A seasonal restaurant provides free breakfast, plus there's an outdoor pool and indoor relaxation room with whirlpool tub. While dining doesn't always deliver and the garden could use a little more maintenance, rates are very reasonable and the views are indeed impressive. Around the same price, however, is the nearby Hotel Capri, featuring a rooftop pool, sauna, and steam room.

The three-pearl Son Bou Gardens Apartments is an apartment-style resort in lively Alaior. It's located a five-minute walk to Son Buo Beach and surrounded by a handful of restaurants, bars, and shops. The 512 homey apartments all include three bedrooms, washing machines, dining areas, kitchens, and private balconies.

The Vanity Eden Binibeca is an upscale, adults-only hotel with a prime setting on a low cliff overlooking the sea and scenic village of Binibeca Vell. The atmosphere both in the hotel and the surrounding area is quiet and laid-back, with little in the way of local nightlife, though two sandy beaches are within walking distance. Its 150 rooms and suites were spruced up in 2014, and all superiors and suites open to sea-views -- some from terraces with whirlpool tubs. Sea vistas can also be enjoyed from one of the three pools as well as the buffet restaurant's alfresco terrace. A decent spa, included half-board meal plan, and free Wi-Fi complete an impressive package. For a more rustic and secluded child-free stay, check out the nearby Biniarroca Hotel, though it's inland so it lacks sea views.

The Biniarroca Hotel is an upper-middle-range, country retreat housed in an 18th-century farmhouse set in lush, secluded gardens. While there's little within walking distance, the island's capital, airport, and several lovely beaches are an easy drive away. An adults-only environment adds to the already-serene rural atmosphere, while a focus on food makes for some wonderful (if pricey) dining. Two pools provide enough relaxation space for all, though spa facilities are limited to a single treatment room. Its 18 guest rooms and suites follow the cozy rustic theme, albeit with basic amenities for a supposed four-star hotel. Another comparable option around the same price is the Hotel Rural Binigaus Vell, closer to the island's center and with its own stables.
