Just 30 minutes from Manorca’s Airport and half way along the South coast, Son Bou is the perfect base from which to explore this magical Island. Visit Manorca’s charming capital Mahon, and its former capital Cuitadella with its medieval streets and gothic architecture, in only a 30-minute drive. In a five minute drive you can find yourselves ambling down the picturesque streets of the small bustling market town of Alaior with its whitewashed buildings and its crowning glory the beautiful Santa Eulalia Church. And for all history lovers, the prehistoric village of Torre d'en Gaumes, one of the largest Talayotic settlements on Menorca, is only a 10 minute drive from Son Bou.
San Bou itself was built with family holidays at its forefront. The resort resides behind a beautiful nature reserve, along a pristine beach, with an abundance of facilities on its doorstep. The town comprises of well-stocked supermarkets, a pharmacy, boutique, craft and designer shops, an array of restaurants, and a nightclub. Together with its proximity to one of the most beautiful beaches in Menorca, the location ensures you won’t ever be far from what you need.
With over 3km of fine golden sand, this resort has so much to offer the perfect beach holiday. Populated by several beach bars, with water sports options ranging from pedalos to water skiing, and sun beds and umbrellas at your fingertips, long lazy days or active afternoons are a must. And with sumptuous sand dunes rather than high-rise hotel blocks serving as a backdrop, you’ll have stunning views for company. Just a warning that the beach is often frequented by Naturists, so if public nudity is not for you, you may want to avert your eyes!
