Make a holiday rental villa or accommodation in Son Bou/San Jaime, Menorca your home away from home

Half way along the south coast of Menorca you will find a beach and water sports haven with over 3 miles of uninterrupted golden sand, known as Son Bou Beach, Menorca, upon which the resort of San Jaime stands. A Son Bou holiday home places you on the largest beach in the whole of Menorca, with great views all down its course, due to the fact there are no large hotels, just low lying, traditional villas in Son Bou, hidden among the pines and dunes.

Things to do on holiday in San Jaime / Son Bou, Menorca

If you take accommodation in Son Bou or San Jaime, you will undoubtedly feel the sand between your toes for a large proportion of your holiday. The fine golden sand beaches of the area could have been designed for postcards, with the gently sloping sands slipping gently into the rich blue of the Mediterranean, providing safe and warm waters for children to swim in. There is a clear flag system along the beach to alert you to currents in the area, but information on the system will be published in the resort, and in many of the self catering villas in Son Bou and San Jaime. Son Bou Beach is known as a naturist beach and the further you walk down it from accommodation in Son Bou, the fewer clothes are worn.

A self catering Son Bou apartment or villa acts as a great base for water sports too. Taking accommodation on Son Bou Beach means that you can check water conditions as soon as you rise from your bed, and rush down to the beach for windsurfing, water-skiing, jet skiing or sailing, or simply leave your Son Bou holiday home and head to one of the vibrant little beach bars which line the beach.

If you walk eastward from accommodation in Son Bou or San Jaime, you will eventually reach the Cap de Penyes, an ancient village of caves carved out of the headland.
