Hauser & Wirth Menorca: Art, Gastronomy and an Exclusive Yacht Experience on Isla del Rey
In the heart of the spectacular harbour of Mahón lies one of the most exclusive and unique destinations in the Mediterranean: Hauser & Wirth Menorca, an international contemporary art centre located on the beautiful Isla del Rey. Accessible only by sea, this extraordinary venue has quickly become one of the most sophisticated experiences in Menorca.
At Yacht Charter Menorca, we offer our clients the opportunity to enjoy this exceptional experience in the most elegant and comfortable way possible: arriving directly by private yacht to the island, disembarking beside the museum to explore the exhibitions, enjoy fine dining at Cantina restaurant, and then continue with a relaxing afternoon cruising around the harbour of Mahón or along the stunning Menorcan coastline.
A Contemporary Art Museum on a Private Island
Hauser & Wirth Menorca opened in 2021 and immediately positioned Menorca within the international contemporary art scene. The project occupies beautifully restored historic buildings from the former British naval hospital on Isla del Rey, a small island rich in history located in the centre of Mahón harbour.
The prestigious Swiss gallery Hauser & Wirth, one of the world’s leading names in contemporary art, transformed this unique location into a world-class cultural destination featuring galleries, Mediterranean gardens, outdoor sculptures and premium gastronomic experiences.
Arriving at the island is truly unforgettable: nature, silence, history, architecture, art and the Mediterranean Sea combine to create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in Menorca.
An Exclusive Experience That Begins at Sea
Part of the magic of Hauser & Wirth Menorca is that it can only be reached by boat. While the museum operates its own ferry service from Mahón, arriving by private yacht is undoubtedly the most exclusive and comfortable option.
With Yacht Charter Menorca, our clients can disembark directly at Isla del Rey to visit the museum at their own pace, enjoy the exhibitions and later relax at the spectacular waterfront restaurant.
Many of our international guests choose this experience because it perfectly combines:
- Contemporary art and culture
- Mediterranean gastronomy
- Private yachting
- Privacy and exclusivity
- Stunning scenery in Mahón harbour
It is an ideal experience for couples, private groups, VIP clients and art lovers looking to discover a more sophisticated side of Menorca.
Gardens, Sculptures and International Exhibitions
The museum hosts temporary exhibitions by internationally renowned artists and features an impressive outdoor sculpture trail overlooking the sea.
One of the highlights of the island is its stunning gardens designed by celebrated landscape architect Piet Oudolf, creator of some of the world’s most iconic contemporary gardens.
Walking through olive trees, Mediterranean vegetation and contemporary sculptures while surrounded by the sea becomes a truly immersive sensory experience.
Mediterranean Dining at Cantina
After visiting the galleries, the experience continues at Cantina, the museum’s elegant waterfront restaurant and bar.
Surrounded by Mediterranean gardens and overlooking the harbour, Cantina offers a refined yet relaxed dining experience focused on fresh local ingredients and Mediterranean sharing cuisine.
Enjoying lunch, an aperitif or a glass of wine in this exclusive setting is one of the most memorable summer experiences in Menorca.
Many of our guests combine:
- A private museum visit
- Lunch at Cantina
- An afternoon yacht cruise
- Swimming in nearby coves
- Sunset views from the sea
A perfect day for those seeking the most elegant and cultural side of Menorca.
