Hidden behind a dune-lined nature reserve on the sunny south coast of Menorca is the pretty hillside resort of Son Bou. This popular tourist town is abuzz with activity yet maintains its laid-back vibe. Brilliant white stretches of sand gently slope into the sea on Menorca’s longest beach and despite being a busy spot, there's always a space to prop up your sun lounger. You'll find fun for all the family on Son Bou holidays, so you’ll never be short of entertainment. Hit the resort’s bowling alley, whizz through the waterparks and bust some moves at the mini-disco - there is plenty to explore during your holidays in Son Bou. You can even hop on the mini-train and jump off at popular spots around the resort, or venture further afield and head into the capital of Mahon for historic sights, bustling squares and spectacular seafood restaurants!
If you want to experience Son Bou’s nightlife then you will find plenty of lively bars and excellent restaurants in the centre of town. Son Bou is also a hub for Menorca's nightclubs, where parties don’t stop before 3 or 4 in the morning. For a bigger party scene head to Cala Santandria or Mahon for its larger choice of clubs and bars. The nearest airport from Son Bou is Menorca Airport, which is 20km and just 25-minute drive away from the resort. You can hire a taxi or take a shuttle service from the airport to reach Son Bou.
Walk the cobbled lanes of nearby Ciutadella and you'll pass pavement shops selling souvenirs, grand cathedrals and waterfront cafés where you can watch boats bobbing in the waters. If you're a fan of panoramic views make the drive to Monte Toro (the highest point of the island) it's well worth it! Or set sail to Menorca's capital Mahon and appreciate the street's rich history, quaint shops and superb nightlife scene!
Son Bou beach is perfect for visitors that want to swim, snorkel, paddle and play in the sea. The waters can get choppy here, so you're sure to spot watersports enthusiasts riding the waves on banana boats and jet-skis. If you fancy exploring under the sea, there's a diving centre in town where you can hire equipment, grab a buddy, and go!
If you're travelling with kids, it's worth taking the 10-minute stroll to the Club San Jaime. This play park is part of a hotel complex and comes complete with an impressive wooden-maze, water slides, swimming pools and a grassy area sprinkled with sunloungers. If you can tear the kids away from the amusements, enjoy an evening meal in the poolside restaurant before hitting the nightclub here after dark.
If you're after an authentic souvenir, Son Bou's shopping centre is where you can pick up handmade albarcas (traditional Menorcan sandals), and try them on for size. There are bundles of open markets in neighbouring Ciutadella too, where you can browse local ceramics, jewellery, spices and clothes. The old town's street-side stately mansions and historic landmarks add to the charm.
