Location: Son Bou

Son Bou is on Menorca's south coast and has the longest beach on the island, backed by dunes and wetland. The area is quieter than the main resorts, with a strip of bars, shops and restaurants near the beach.

In high summer, the beach and car parks fill early; in May, June, September and October, the area is much calmer.

The property is 0.8 km straight line from Son Bou, 6.3 km from Cala en Porter and 9.6 km from Es Mercadal and Monte Toro. A hire car makes it easy to visit these places. Buses run to Son Bou in summer, but services are limited outside the main season. The property has free car parking on site.

A day from Villa Panorama Y Villa Mirador

Start the morning with a short drive or walk to Son Bou beach. The long stretch of sand is good for a swim or a walk along the dunes. After the beach, drive 6.3 km to Cala en Porter for a look at the cove and its cliffs. The road down to the beach is narrow, so arriving early avoids the midday queue. In the afternoon, drive 9.6 km to Es Mercadal and up Monte Toro for the view.

From Monte Toro, drive back towards the south coast and stop at the talayotic village 2.8 km from the property. The site is open to the public and gives a sense of Menorca's prehistoric past. Return to Villa Panorama Y Villa Mirador for an evening swim in the outdoor pool. Cook in the kitchen or walk to one of the bars in Son Bou for a drink.

Practical tips

Much of Menorca's tourism business closes roughly from November to April. Check with Villa Panorama Y Villa Mirador whether it is open in the months you plan to travel. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and more crowds on the beach. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and is reduced for longer stays, with children under 16 exempt. Check the current rate on the Govern de les Illes Balears website.
