Son Bou is one of the most visited urbanizations on the island and is a big reference for when traveling with children to Menorca. It´s located in the south of the island, 7 km from Alaior. It is a large area with a large fine sandy beach, a swamp fed by two streams and a sand dune area with a lot of fauna and flora.

It´s located, in the centre, on the south coast and that´s what makes it an ideal place to explore the island. In less than 30 minutes you can drive to both cities, Mahon and Ciutadella. Alaior is less than 15 minutes away, which is a nice little town that has handcraft markets going on every week. It´s also easily accessible by bus and from there on, you can go to other cities and resorts by public transport.

Formerly this area was known as Ses Canessies. Apparently, during the IV and V century, it used to be a town known by this name, which is now a suburb. They discovered in 1951 the remains of the Christian basilica and it has been excavated by archaeologists and now can be visited. It is very near to the Hotel Royal Son Bou Family Club where you can see some of the best sunsets on the island.

Behind the beach, there is a sand dune area, with some pines and shrubbery that divides into two. In between, there is a large meadow with one of the most important wetlands of Menorca. The plot begins to take up gradually and besides the parking lots, hotels, villas, restaurants, shops, gardens, playground and other elements this is what makes the stay of our visitors in Son Bou very pleasant and attractive. It offers a beautiful view of the beach and its surroundings.
