Planning Your Son Bou Villa Holiday
Son Bou is renowned as one of the finest resorts in Menorca, with the stunning two and half mile beach the main attraction of the area. It is perhaps the best beach on the island, and the nearby Son Bou villas offer outstanding coastal accommodation for groups and families looking to experience a fun and relaxing beach holiday in Menorca.
If you want to get the most out of your Son Bou villa holiday, here are a few of the things to consider before you go…
Location, Location, Location
With Son Bou’s beach stretching out over such a distance, there are plenty of places you can stay and still have access to it, and the area is by no means uniform. There are two main resorts that you can choose to stay at ? Torre Soli Nou and San Jaime.
Torre Soli Nou is a new development in a wooded area that is further back from the beach, and which can offer you a quieter and more secluded Son Bou villa holiday. You are away from the beach, but get to enjoy a little peace and quiet away from the bustle of San Jaime, while still being within walking distance of both San Jaime and the beach.
If you stay in San Jaime, you’ll be closer to the beach, with plenty of facilities for sports and entertainment. San Jaime is particularly popular with families. It is obviously bigger and more crowded, so whether you choose San Jaime or Torre Soli Nou entirely depends on your personal preferences.
When To Go
Son Bou can be visited throughout most of the year, with Menorca experiencing consistently good weather from May until October. The summer months have the highest temperatures and the best weather, of course, but an autumn or spring trip is perfectly possible.
If you’d like to get a flavour of the unique Menorcan culture, make sure to time your visit to coincide with the Fiesta of Sant Lorac, which takes place in picturesque Alaior on the first weekend after the 10th of August. Featuring parades, music, fireworks and a spectacular horse race, it’s a real local highlight that is well worth visiting.
Cutting The Price
If you like the sound of a Son Bou villa holiday but are worried about the price, there are plenty of ways of lowering the cost of your holiday. The simplest way is to travel off season. Accommodation costs can lower dramatically outside of the summer months, often to almost half price, so planning your holiday outside of the peak season is an easy way to drop the price.
If you’d like to lower the cost even further, you could consider getting an apartment rather than a villa. Apartments are typically cheaper, and while they may not offer quite the same quality as Son Bou’s villas (you’re likely to have a shared rather than private pool) they still offer the experience of independent accommodation away from the big hotels, and many of them offer great facilities at impressively low prices.
For a holiday that combines quality accommodation, a stunning beach and local cultural highlights, it’s hard to beat a Son Bou villa holiday!
