Situated on Menorca's south-west coast and approximately 30 minutes drive from Mahon airport, Son Bou is a firm favourite with families.
General Information:
Son Bou has the longest beach in Menorca - nearly 3km of pale golden sand, making it ideal for sun worshippers and watersport enthusiasts. The sandy beach shelves gently into the sea, which is generally safe for swimming. Ocean currents, however, can be strong at times and you should look out for the red and green flags.
Where to go:
Behind the beach, on the hill above, the large tourist development has mushroomed and the 'villa-villages' spread westwards into the twin resort of San Jaime.
San Jaime, is a purpose built resort and caters very well for family holidays. All the necessary facilities are on hand. These include tennis courts, a supermarket, shops, restaurant, medical centre and chemists. Plus the popular Club San Jaime - a water play park, with its water chutes, ideal for a break from the pool or the beach.
Beaches:
The beach has several beach bars and a variety of watersports equipment is available to hire - jet skis, pedaloes, windsurfing boards, snorkelling equipment etc.
Entertainment:
There are a range of bars and restaurants and several supermarkets. Son Bou features one of the island's only discos, otherwise nightlife is relatively low key - based around the restaurants, bars and a few hotels, which offer scheduled entertainment.
Comments:
All in all, Son Bou and the resorts, offer an excellent beach and pool-based holiday with all the facilities necessary for an enjoyable and relaxing time.
