The resort of Son Bou on the south coast of Menorca, approx 20 km and 20 minutes by car from the island's airport at Mahon.
Situated on Menorca's longest beach, a glorious 3km stretch of fine golden sands separated from the neighbouring resort of Santo Tomas by a rocky headland. The beach gently shelves into the clear blue of the water with bathing safely regulated by use of a flag system. Extensive water sports including jet skis, water skiing and pedaloe hire are available along the length of the beach. Son Bou is a relatively new development and great care has been taken to ensure that the resort with its clusters of villas and apartments has retained its pleasant green aspect with a backcloth of wooded hills and an abundance of the original woods remaining amidst extensive landscaping.
The main street in Son Bou consists of many types of restaurants, shops, bars and entertainment and it is a 5 min walk from the villa to the beach. At the centre of Son Bou is a square with shops, a supermarket, telephones and also the Club San Jaime - a popular spot with families with its bar, pizza and pasta restaurant, swimming pool and water chute. |
