Son Bou is Menorca's longest beach - over two kilometers of fine, golden sand that gently curves along the southern coast and transitions into crystal clear, turquoise water. This size is unique to Menorca and makes Son Bou a beach where there is enough space for everyone, even in high season. Families love the shallow entry and the sheltered location, while nature lovers can discover a wetland at the western end that is protected as a bird paradise.

The beach divides into two worlds: at the eastern end are the hotels, sunbeds, water sports providers, and restaurants - here, beach life pulses with pedal boats, jet skis, and beach bars. The further west you walk, the quieter and more natural it becomes. At the western end lies a protected dune area with reeds, and behind it is the Marjal de Son Bou, a wetland where flamingos, herons, and rare migratory birds can be observed.

Directly behind the beach are the ruins of an early Christian basilica from the 5th century - one of the oldest Christian buildings in the Balearic Islands. The three naves and the baptismal font are still recognizable and form a fascinating contrast to the beach life just a few meters away. In the cliffs above the western beach are the Coves de Son Bou, prehistoric caves that once served as dwellings and later as livestock stalls.

Son Bou is also the starting point for hikes on the Camí de Cavalls, the historic coastal path. Heading east, the path leads along the cliffs to Cala en Porter and the spectacular rock cave Cova d'en Xoroi, which is built into the cliffs and serves as a bar and nightclub in the evenings.

From Germany, it takes about 2.5 hours to fly to Menorca, and you can reach Son Bou in 25 minutes from Mahón Airport.
