Overview

Zafiro Menorca is a family-sized aparthotel that feels purpose-built for fun. Think pirate-ship splash park, non-stop activities, and spacious one-bedroom suites with kitchenettes and separate lounges – including options with private gardens and swim-up pools. With an entertainment team that keeps kids busy from morning to mini-disco, and calm corners like the indoor pool and whirlpool for parents, it’s one of Menorca’s strongest picks for stress-free family holidays.

From the moment you see the pirate ship rising from the splash pool, you know Zafiro Menorca is unapologetically family-focused. Low-rise whitewashed blocks wrap around lagoon-style pools, palms and lawns, while spacious suites give you apartment-style freedom with hotel-level service. Add in All Inclusive Plus, a certified sustainable ethos and easy access to Cala’n Bosch’s marina and beach, and you’ve got a Balearic base that really does tick every family box. For families seeking Menorca’s laid-back charm with plenty to do on-site, Zafiro Menorca delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 1 hour 20 minutes from Mahon (MAH) airport and a stroll from the marina and beach at Cala’n Bosch. See more Balearics holidays.

Map & location


Cala’n Bosch, Menorca, Balearics, Spain

Zafiro Menorca sits in a peaceful pocket of Cala’n Bosch, one of Menorca’s most popular family resorts. You’re close enough to wander to the marina for ice creams, pedalos and seafood suppers, yet far enough back to keep evenings quieter once the little ones are in bed.

The resort itself is classic Menorca: low-rise buildings, a golden-sand beach and a relaxed, family-first atmosphere. By day, hire a pedalo, hop on a boat trip or escape into nearby Ciutadella’s cobbled streets. By night, dine around the marina – go later (around 10pm) for a more local, candlelit vibe.

  • Cala’n Bosch resort centre & marina 800m
  • Beach (Cala’n Bosch) 900m
  • Mahon (MAH) airport to resort 1 hour 20 minutes by coach
  • Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 20 minutes
