Holidays to Son Bou

If you're a beach-lover, a Son Bou holiday will be a great choice, because your stay will be spent around the longest beach on the island of Menorca, which is reached from the main airport through beautiful, lush countryside, giving you a tantalising taste of the delights that await you.

That verdant landscape is part of a local nature reserve, so the delights of Son Bou are built to sympathetically blend in with this deliberately unspoilt area.

One of the first things you'll notice when you arrive on a Son Bou package holiday is the lack of high-rise hotels. Instead, the resort sits mainly among gardens on a wooded hillside – so you'll wake up each morning to spectacular views of the surrounding coastline.

The green theme is continued in the resort's main gardens, which are another great place for the whole family. They're home to a large wooden maze, which has water sprinklers during the day to keep visitors cool, but at night sees 'monsters' unleashed to give adults a scary surprise!

You can book a Son Bou all inclusive holiday if you want to be looked after all the way, but you're sure to want to take some time to explore the small clutch of bars and quality restaurants which are clustered in and just a short walk from the resort centre.

For the more energetic visitor, Son Bou is the starting point of a coastal path which runs through the pines to neighbouring Santo Tomas, and is the only way of reaching a handful of small, secluded beaches.

Whatever your ideal getaway, be sure to consult the friendly and knowledgeable staff at your local Co-op Travel store to get the benefit of their extensive experience of arranging amazing holidays to suit all tastes.
