Villa Amanjena | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Sant Lluis

Sant Lluís sits quietly at Menorca’s southern edge, where whitewashed villages meet Mediterranean coastline and UNESCO-protected landscape. Here, Villa Amanjena offers accommodation for 10 guests seeking a private retreat with tennis courts, heated swimming pools, and gardens spanning 8,000 square metres—the kind of luxury villa rental in Sant Lluís that transforms a week into memory.

Ten people arrive at iron gates framed by lavender-lined approach roads. The Moroccan-influenced design announces itself immediately: locally-quarried stonework, traditional Menorcan furnishings, and a living room where an open fireplace anchors oversized seating arrangements. Tall doors flood the space with southern light, opening onto a terrace that overlooks tiered gardens. This is where guests first understand the scale of what awaits them.

Inside Villa Amanjena

Villa Amanjena sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, distributed across the main residence and a private annexe suite.

Ground Floor Bedrooms: The master suite commands the south-facing wing, fitted with a king-size bed crowned by a Tempur mattress and an en-suite bathroom featuring a hydro-jacuzzi bath and double vanity. Two additional air-conditioned bedrooms each contain twin single beds with full en-suite facilities. All three share direct access to the main living zones and terrace.

Annexe Accommodation: The private suite functions almost as a separate dwelling, with its own entrance and super-king sleeping arrangements. Floor-to-ceiling doors open directly onto the pool terrace. This bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, a kitchenette for preparing beverages and light meals, and a mezzanine gallery sleeping zone accessed by internal stairs—suitable for older children but with restricted headroom. A second annexe bedroom offers a single bed with shower room and independent access, making it ideal for staff or additional family members requiring privacy.

Kitchen and Food Preparation: The culinary heart features a range cooker substantial enough for dinner parties, American-style double refrigerator-freezer, dishwasher, and granite work surfaces throughout. A walk-in larder stores provisions for multi-day stays. A breakfast bar transitions into a small dining area ringed by sliding glass doors, connecting seamlessly to outdoor dining arrangements. Direct pathways lead to both the BBQ station and pool terrace.

Living Spaces: The living room contains a 42-inch television receiving British SKY channels, DVD player, and comfortable seating clusters facing an open fireplace—useful during cooler spring and autumn evenings. Laundry facilities occupy a dedicated utility room with washing machine and drying area.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The transition from interior to exterior happens gradually. A sprawling terrace serves as the villa’s social hub: cushioned benches, armchairs, sofas, and a dining table seating 10-12 accommodate different groupings throughout the day. A ping-pong table sits at one end—deceptively important for rainy afternoon entertainment. As the sun moves west, shadows lengthen across teak dining furniture, and the terrace becomes an extension of the living room rather than a separate space.

Beyond the terrace, 8,000 square metres of Mediterranean gardens reveal themselves in layers. The main swimming pool sits fenced and heated year-round, accompanied by a smaller splash pool specifically designed for children. A floodlit paddle tennis court allows evening play, while basketball courts and a mini football pitch with full-size goals keep active groups engaged. A sand-floored playground occupies a sheltered corner, shaded by mature trees.

The landscaping reflects professional design: specimen plantings create natural sightlines, pathways wind through shrubland suggesting larger acreage than actually exists, and seating clusters appear throughout the gardens at strategic viewpoints. The BBQ area, complete with teak furniture and service access to the kitchen, anchors the lower terrace for outdoor dining.

Location: Sant Lluís and the Surrounding Area

Sant Lluís represents Menorca at its most authentic. This traditional southern town, 6 kilometres from Villa Amanjena, centres on a grid-pattern layout ideal for exploration on foot. The town’s character reflects centuries as a Menorcan settlement: narrow streets, a central church, and locally-owned shops rather than international chains. At the heart sits the weekly market, where vendors from surrounding villages sell seasonal produce, local cheese, and island specialities.

Beaches within short driving distance define the region’s appeal. Punta Prima, 4 kilometres south, offers sheltered bathing with family facilities. Cala Llentrisca, 6 kilometres southeast, provides a quieter alternative favoured by swimmers seeking fewer crowds. Further east along the southern coast, Pregonda Beach—approximately 25 kilometres away—showcases the dramatic white sand and clear turquoise water that characterise Menorca’s most celebrated bathing locations.

Wine enthusiasts should visit Bodegas Binifadet, 8 kilometres northwest, where a family winery operates since the 18th century. The on-site restaurant serves local wines alongside Mediterranean cuisine using estate-grown ingredients. This single destination combines cultural interest with culinary pleasure.

The broader region hosts several notable towns. Mahón, 15 kilometres north, functions as Menorca’s capital with a deep natural harbour, restaurants along the waterfront, and shops concentrated in the old town. Ciudadela, 30 kilometres west, mirrors Mahón’s coastal character while retaining stronger medieval architecture. Both towns merit day trips for cultural exploration.

For active pursuits, the S’Algar watersports club operates just 5 kilometres away, offering sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, and boat hire. Cycling routes traverse the island’s countryside—the southern section near Sant Lluís features gentle terrain suitable for all fitness levels. Horse-riding centres operate throughout Menorca; several offer beach rides along the southern coast.

Menorca’s status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve reflects the landscape’s ecological significance. Ancient stone monuments dot the countryside—megaliths, navetas (Minoan-style structures), and an estimated 70,000 kilometres of traditional dry-stone walls create an archaeological layer beneath contemporary life. Walking trails from Sant Lluís lead to several sites without requiring specialist knowledge.

The best months for visiting span April through October, with July and August representing peak season when summer fiestas occur in different towns throughout Menorca—traditions dating to the 14th century. May and September offer warmth without the crowds. Winter (November-February) brings mild temperatures ideal for walking but frequent cloud cover.
