Three Exciting Ways to Enjoy Your Son Bou Holidays

Son Bou is a resort located on the island of Menorca, which is part of the Balearic Islands. It’s a summer haven that, despite its small size, attracts thousands of tourists. The island's appeal lies in its stunning beaches and its interesting culture, as well as being home to a number of well-preserved historical ruins. Some might think that there isn’t much to do in smallish resort town in the middle of the Mediterranean, but if you choose Son Bou, holidays are, in fact, quite exciting when you know where to go and what to do.

Sample Different Cuisines

While the resort is most famous for its sprawling golden beach (the best, many say, on Menorca), it promises more than the just the perfect tan. Every traveller knows that to truly get to know a place, you must sample its local cuisine – and this location does not disappoint on that front. Because of the number of travellers that come on Son Bou holidays every year, the resort, and the area around it, has developed an excellent reputation for both local and international cuisines. For Mediterranean food, Casa Andres offers not only fantastic food, but also a wonderful ambience.

Explore the Area Via Daytrips

Getting to know the area around the resort gives visitors the opportunity to explore historic ruins, churches, and other buildings of architectural note. For instance, the Basilica Paleocristiana de Son Bou is a 5th century church whose ruins were discovered in 1951. For those who want to explore further, the Torre d’en Galmés, located in Alaoir has an interesting history. The site has a number of ruins, with talayots or large stones stacked together to form a structure. It’s a famous historical tourist destination and because it’s nearby, should not be missed if you're staying in Son Bou. Holidays that offer an interesting historical bent like this should be taken full advantage of.

Experience the Ambience

The glorious Mediterranean Sea offers an exceptional backdrop to Son Bou. Holidays to this delightful resort in summer offer an unparalleled smorgasbord of turquoise waters and endless stretches of golden sands. Restaurants and bars, both close to resort and further afield around the island, mean that the fun doesn't have to stop when the sun goes down, either. No matter what kind of pace you are looking for – be it slow and relaxed, or fast paced and filled with excursions – this wonderful resort can offer it all. Discover the ambience of this island paradise and you'll find yourself returning again and again.
