A stay at one of the Son Bou villas can be a great holiday for many different people. Learn what Son Bou has to offer to couples, families, and sports fanatics.
With its long, beautiful beach and great collection of hotels and Son Bou villas, this resort is one of the most popular in Menorca, and understandably so. Part of the reason for this popularity amongst tourists is the broad appeal that Son Bou has. The natural attractions of the beach itself are complimented by the delights of the surrounding area, and the well developed resort facilities have everything that you could ask for from a holiday destination. From families looking for a break in the sun to hikers after a great walking holiday, Son Bou has something for everyone – here are four kinds of people who are likely to enjoy a visit to Son Bou.
Families
The resort is ideal for families. The calm waters are excellent for children, and the resort complex at San Jaime has a huge number of activities to help keep the kids entertained, including a maze, waterchute, and several children's playgrounds. So if you are looking for a place to stay in the sun with the family, Son Bou villas are an ideal place for you to base yourself on a family holiday and experience the very best that the resort can offer.
Couples
There's little more romantic than a stroll along the beach, and with two and a half kilometres of sand to stroll over
at Son Bou, the resort has an obvious appeal for couples! Those looking for a romantic break may prefer the quieter, more secluded Torre Soli Nou area near Son Bou, away from the crowds and offering a great romantic escape for couples. With beach side restaurants, stunning views, a beach that is big enough to find your own private corner and the excellent quality of Son Bou villas, the resort is a great place to visit if you are a couple looking for a romantic holiday abroad.
Hikers
Given that the beach at Son Bou backs on to a nature reserve, it is no surprise that keen hikers are drawn to the resort. Many walking routes run throughout the beautiful countryside, and if you choose one of the Son Bou villas near the nature reserve, you can simply leave your front door, go for a wander, and you'll be almost guaranteed a great walk. From coastal paths to inland routes, walkers will have plenty to keep themselves occupied on a Son Bou holiday.
Sports Fanatics
The big beach at Son Bou is good for more than just swimming and sunbathing – it offers plenty of chances for active adventure as well. The still waters make it unsuitable for surfers, but the good winds mean that windsurfing is extremely popular here, with equipment available to rent as well as lessons for complete beginners. There are also opportunities for pedalo and jet ski hire, or you can even go horse riding along the length of the beach.
So no matter what you want from your holiday, on a visit to Son Bou you're sure to find what you after!
