Historic places reimagined: The Vestige Collection connects architecture, nature and mindful hospitality in Spain and Namibia.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Was mit dem Wunsch nach einem privaten Zuhause begann, entwickelte sich zu einer au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnlichen Hospitality-Vision.<\/strong>
The Spanish entrepreneurial family Madera Fern\u00e1ndez originally intended to restore a historic palace for their own use. Today, the project has grown into a collection of remarkable houses, boutique hotels and retreats: the Vestige Collection<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 places that preserve history while opening new perspectives for conscious travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When history becomes hospitality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The origin of the Vestige Collection lies in the Palacio de Figueras<\/a><\/strong>, a 16th-century palace in Asturias. Situated on a hill overlooking the harbour, it was meant to become the family\u2019s private residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The careful restoration took eleven years. During this time, the family developed close collaborations with local craftsmen, artists and architects. At the same time, it became clear that the building offered far more space than a single family could ever use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this realization, a new idea emerged \u2013 not only to preserve historic buildings but to give them a new purpose. The name Vestige<\/strong> reflects exactly this concept: traces of the past transformed into new places of hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Son Vell \u2013 Menorca\u2019s elegant country estate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Menorca, Son Vell<\/a><\/strong> became one of the first boutique hotels of the Vestige Collection. The 18th-century Palladian manor house lies close to the coast and is surrounded by around 200 hectares of landscape<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the restoration, local materials were consciously chosen: traditional Mar\u00e9s stone, handcrafted ceramics, linen fabrics and natural pigments. Complemented by new buildings, the estate has been transformed into a boutique hotel with 33 individually designed rooms and suites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The surrounding landscape was also carefully shaped: two pools, a kitchen garden and more than 1,400 newly planted trees and native plants<\/strong> create a tranquil refuge where nature and design exist in harmony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biniduf\u00e0 & Son Ermit\u00e0 \u2013 Nature and serenity in northern Menorca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the unspoiled northern coast of Menorca lie the estates Biniduf\u00e0 and Son Ermit\u00e0<\/strong><\/a>, whose history dates back to the 13th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The two boutique hotels share an expansive estate of around 800 hectares<\/strong>. While Son Ermit\u00e0 sits on elevated ground with views across the island\u2019s gentle hills, Biniduf\u00e0 is even more deeply integrated into the raw surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, rustic charm meets architecture designed to connect guests directly with nature \u2013 a peaceful hideaway surrounded by green valleys, the red earth of Menorca and grazing cattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miramar \u2013 A city palace in Palma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the historic centre of Palma de Mallorca lies Miramar<\/a><\/strong>, one of the most exclusive residences of the Vestige Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Vestige Miramar Mallorca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 18th-century mansion stands next to the Gothic cathedral La Seu<\/strong> and offers around 1,700 square metres<\/strong> of space for families or groups of friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its location in the vibrant heart of the city, Miramar feels like a private retreat \u2013 with generous living spaces, an indoor pool and a home cinema. Here, history and contemporary comfort merge into a refined urban sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Son Veri \u2013 Mallorca between mountains and sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Only twenty minutes from Palma, yet in an entirely different world, lies Son Veri<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This 19th-century country house sits secluded in the Tramuntana mountains and offers breathtaking views across the valley, the bay and a former Carthusian monastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traces of the estate\u2019s agricultural past remain visible throughout the house. A historic olive press in the living room recalls a time when olives, grains and almonds were cultivated here. Today, Son Veri has become a retreat for guests seeking tranquillity, nature and a slower rhythm of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
