Welcome To Son Bou | Home

As you drive into the resort for the first time the contrast of the blue sea and gorgeous beach will take you breath away. It is lovely. But if you remember, look back at the cliffs. Yes, those caves are inhabited even today.

Son Bou has a longest, but not necessarily widest, beach on the island with almost 2 miles of fine white sand backed in the most part by a protected area of sand dunes and freshwater marshes. A couple of words of warning though, the only access to the beach is near to the two big Sol Hotels at the far end of the resort, so if your accommodation is at the other end be prepared for a long walk each day. Also despite its size, the beach does get very busy at weekends. Although not officially allowed in Menorca, the western end of Son Bou beach, going towards San Tomas, is recognised as a nudist beach.

The resort has a few basic tourist shops split between 2 commercial centres. One opposite the Sol Hotels and the other near to the Son Jaime complex.

The town has a bus service into Mahon 5 times a day during the summer, and for the more adventurous connections are then available to the rest of the island.

Alayor is the nearest real town to Son Bou, at 5 miles inland. The local fiesta takes place here during the first two weeks in August and a small local market every Thursday morning. Evening entertainment is mainly hotel based, but the resort does have a small disco as part of the Son Jaime complex.
