SA GASSETA of BINISSAIDA

Saint John of Binissaida · May 27–30, 2025

In the heart of the Mediterranean, Menorca shines not only for its crystal-clear waters and its lush nature but also for its night sky, recognized with the prestigious Starlight seal. This distinction certifies the island as an exceptional destination for star observation, ensuring the preservation of its dark sky free from light pollution.

The Camí de Cavalls is a historic trail that circles the island of Menorca, offering a unique experience for nature lovers, hiking enthusiasts, and cyclists. And a small part is very close to Sant Joan de Binissaida. Shall we discover it together?

On these special dates, we want to thank you for being with us throughout the year and sharing a little piece of Menorca with you. From our corner in Es Castell, we wish you a holiday season filled with joy, love, and unforgettable moments.

When we talk about the heritage of Menorca, it's easy to be amazed by its prehistoric remnants. However, the island also has a rich historical legacy that spans centuries of conquests, cultural exchanges, and maritime traditions. If you are exploring the area of Mahón and Es Castell, we invite you to discover a different facet of the island, where its more recent history comes alive through its monuments, architecture, and landscapes.

Although our agrotourism closes its doors in October for staff rest, the truth is that there is a part of our project that never rests. Visits to the plantation are a good way to get to know us, and in this post, we will tell you how.

Have you ever stepped on land worked with regenerative practices? You will surely find more "bugs," more vegetation, more life. Because these practices are nothing more than techniques that restore health to the soil. We tell you how.

If you are a lover of history and nature, you cannot miss the opportunity to explore some of the most important sites of Menorca Talayótica. These sites will not only transport you to distant times but also allow you to enjoy the rich biodiversity and the unique landscapes of our island.

In 2023 we celebrate 10 years of collaboration with the culinary masters who advise us and ensure that the Binissaida restaurant stays true to the roots of the project. They are the group Ses Forquilles, and today we would like to tell you a little more about them.

This June, we are launching guided tours of the estate to showcase our olive grove, during Wednesday afternoons. The agricultural part of Sant Joan de Binissaida is what gives meaning to the rest of the project, as we return to the roots of Menorca, of the land, of what defines us. Do you want to know it?

Another year, and that's four now, we can say that the Binissaida Gastronómica has been a success! The commitment to showcase the product through our kitchen, which for the occasion was “invaded” by the renowned Michelin-starred chef and two Soles Repsol, Artur Martínez, is a formula we will continue to embrace in the future. Want to know how it went?

The next weekend of May 11 and 12, we once again dedicate our kitchen in Sant Joan de Binissaida to an invited chef to celebrate the IV Days on Menorcan cuisine and products, the Binissaida Gastronómica.
This year, in front of the stoves will be Artur Martínez, a renowned chef with a Michelin star and two Repsol suns, who will come from Catalonia to offer us his version of “good, clean, and fair food” with the menu “Huerta menorquina”. The event will also be joined by sponsors iNNat, Herbes Biniarbolla, and Juvé & Camps.
