Son Bou, Menorca, Balearics, Spain
Life really is a beach at Son Bou – and Royal Son Bou Family Club puts you right behind Menorca’s longest stretch of sand. A dedicated access route leads directly from the complex to the golden shoreline, with shallow, clear water that’s perfect for paddling and family swims.
You’re just 260m from the compact resort centre, where you’ll find bars, cafés, low-key restaurants and useful shops. Further afield, Ciutadella’s cobbled streets and Gothic churches are about 40 minutes’ drive away, making an easy day trip by hire car or excursion.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Water babies are spoilt for choice here. There are two main outdoor pools, both freshwater, with sunbathing areas, parasols and baby-changing facilities right by the water.
The main pool is perfect for lengths or cooling dips, with space for inflatables and water toys so everyone can play together. Right alongside, the children’s pool features colourful slides and shallow sections, heated between late April and late October (dates can vary) to keep little ones comfortable even at the start and end of the season.
Free pool towels are provided, so there’s no need to pack bulky extras. When you fancy a change of scene, take the private access path straight to Son Bou’s long, gently shelving beach – brilliant for sandcastles, beach games and safe paddling.
