Villas in Son Bou

About Son Bou

Son Bou is a small resort village on Menorca's south coast, in the Alaior area, split into three districts: Son Bou itself, with shops, restaurants and two large hotels, then San Jaime and Torre Soli Nou. The beach is well over 2 km of golden sand, reached from the parking area by crossing the dunes, with an extensive wetland of open water and reed beds behind it. In season the bars put on shows, quizzes and karaoke, and there are three beach bars. Out of season it is very quiet, as most facilities close in winter. The homes sit tightly together, mostly with three bedrooms and sleeping six or more, nearly all with a private pool.
