Villa Le Blanc, Gran Meliá

White stone archways frame uninterrupted Mediterranean views at this adults-welcome, families-tolerated resort on Menorca's south coast. The building is a thoughtful eco-renovation rather than a new build, and the near-carbon-neutral credentials don't come at the cost of comfort: sea-facing balconies, a sunlit spa, and two seafood restaurants where the waves do most of the decorating. The rooftop pool is adults-only, keeping the romance and the school holidays at a sensible distance.
