Mahón, Balearic Islands

Joia House represents a new benchmark of luxury in Mahón-an extraordinary Menorcan estate comprising two connected yet fully independent residences, masterfully restored to unite historic grandeur with refined contemporary living. Situated on an expansive private lot in the heart of the historic center, the property offers immediate access to artisan boutiques, traditional bakeries, art galleries, the animated port, and the unmistakable Mediterranean atmosphere that defines Mahón. The primary residence, an impressive 590 m² stately home, showcases the architectural heritage of Menorca at its finest. This main home also benefits from an official tourist licence, a highly regulated and valuable asset that allows the property to be legally rented for short-term stays. This provides the future owner with the unique possibility of generating premium rental income while remaining fully compliant with local tourism regulations. Inside, a serene study and library, an authentic Menorcan kitchen, an elegant dining room, and a welcoming living room with a fireplace create an environment where sophistication and comfort align perfectly. Original sash windows, vibrant hydraulic tiles, artistically wallpapered ceilings, and a majestic stone staircase highlight the exceptional craftsmanship preserved throughout the restoration. The home offers six exquisitely designed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, including generous king and queen suites as well as an enchanting attic bedroom ideal for children. A large attic and a marés-stone basement expand the living space, providing areas suited for gatherings, creative pursuits, or quiet retreat. The exterior spaces are equally compelling. The two-level Mediterranean patio forms a true oasis within the estate: a 20 m² lower patio, surrounded by native vegetation and centered around a long wooden table for relaxed meals and intimate moments; and a 35 m² upper terrace that invites evenings under the warm Menorcan sky. Complementing the main residence is an independent 224 m² secondary house, offering complete privacy and flexibility for guests, extended family, or dedicated personal projects. This second home features its own separate entrance and a private rooftop deck with serene views over Mahón's historic center, further enhancing the sense of exclusivity within the estate. While both dwellings are independent homes with separate entrances, they are also thoughtfully connected internally, allowing the estate to function either as one grand residence or as two fully autonomous homes-offering exceptional versatility for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or bespoke hospitality concepts. Throughout both homes, every detail pays tribute to the property's history as the former residence of a distinguished family of Menorcan jewelers. The restoration carefully preserves its elegance, artistry, and authenticity while seamlessly integrating modern comforts such as high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning in all bedrooms, aerothermal heating, luxury linens, curated amenities, and two private parking spaces. Joia House is an exceptional sanctuary where heritage, beauty, and contemporary luxury converge-an unparalleled opportunity in the heart of Mahón.
