Villas Torre Solí Garden

About Villas Torre Solí Garden

Villas Torre Solí Garden suits families and couples who want a quiet base on Menorca's south coast and are happy to drive, take a bus or walk to the sand. The three-star stay sits in the Son Bou urbanisation, on Calle Bella Mirada, with a garden and a tennis court for slow afternoons. Son Bou, the longest beach on the island, is 1.2 km away in a straight line: near enough for a daily swim, far enough that evenings stay calm.

Accommodation is in villas and apartments rather than hotel rooms, which gives families room to spread out. The listed facilities are the practical sort: a garden, a pool bar, a safe, self parking, a tennis court and a laundry service, in buildings under ten floors. This is an independent base rather than a full-service resort, with Cala en Porter 6.4 km away and Es Mercadal 9.1 km.

Location: Son Bou

Son Bou sits on Menorca's Migjorn coast, where limestone ends in white sand and the beach runs long behind dunes and a wetland. It is the longest beach on the island, so there is room on the sand even in the middle of August, though the lanes and car parks of the southern coves fill early. Villas Torre Solí Garden stands in the Son Bou urbanisation on Calle Bella Mirada, 1.2 km from that sand in a straight line.

The sand at Son Bou is the one target within walking distance of Villas Torre Solí Garden, and the 1.2 km is measured in a straight line rather than along the street. Cala en Porter is 6.4 km away, Es Mercadal and Monte Toro 9.1 km, and a talayotic village 3.2 km, so a car, taxi or summer bus covers the rest. May, June and September bring quieter roads and simpler parking on the same routes.

Rooms and facilities

With villas and apartments, Villas Torre Solí Garden is set up for stays of a week or more. The listed facilities cover the useful basics: a garden, a pool bar, a safe, self parking and a tennis court for the hours when the beach gets too hot. A laundry service matters on a longer trip with children. Buildings are listed under ten floors, which keeps the site low and open rather than stacked.

Confirm a few things when booking. Ask how the pool bar operates outside high season, whether the tennis court needs to be booked, and what the safe covers. Late arrivals should arrange check-in with Villas Torre Solí Garden before travelling, and anyone arriving by hire car should ask where to park on Calle Bella Mirada after dark. Children's sleeping arrangements are also worth settling in advance.

Getting there

Menorca Airport (MAH) is 13.2 km from Villas Torre Solí Garden in a straight line, south-west of Maó. Taxis and hire cars do the run directly; buses connect the airport with Maó and, in summer, with the resorts, so anyone arriving without a car should check the island bus operator for current lines. Flights are fewer in winter, when connections through Mallorca or Barcelona often work better.

Maó port is 16.1 km away, the arrival point for overnight ferries from Barcelona; Ciutadella, the old capital in the west, has its own crossings and is further round the coast. From the port the road runs south towards Son Bou. Cala en Porter is 6.4 km from Villas Torre Solí Garden and Es Mercadal 9.1 km, both easy add-ons by car. Seasonal buses reach Son Bou in summer; check times.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Son Bou beach is 1.2 km away, long, backed by dunes and wetland, and the nearest swim. Cala en Porter, a deep cove between high cliffs, is 6.4 km off, and Cala Macarella 12.2 km along the same southern coast, where the car park fills early and summer vehicle limits apply, so an early start or the bus makes sense. A talayotic village is 3.2 km from Villas Torre Solí Garden.

Food here follows the island. Mahón-Menorca cheese carries a protected designation of origin, and the north-coast fishing villages are known for caldereta de llagosta, a lobster stew. Es Mercadal, 9.1 km away at the foot of Monte Toro, is a year-round town for supplies, while Maó, the capital, stays open all year. Gin, left behind by 18th-century British rule, is still a Maó speciality.

A day from Villas Torre Solí Garden

An early start makes sense: walk or drive the 1.2 km to Son Bou beach before the sun hardens, then look at the dunes and wetland behind it. Mid-morning, the talayotic village 3.2 km from Villas Torre Solí Garden covers the prehistoric side of Menorca, part of the World Heritage listing added in 2023. The garden and tennis court back at the property fill the hottest hours.

Late afternoon suits Monte Toro, 9.1 km away, the highest point on the island at about 358 m, with a sanctuary at the top and views across to both coasts. Cala Macarella, 12.2 km off, is the alternative for a second swim. Evenings belong to Son Bou, 1.2 km from Villas Torre Solí Garden. A hire car makes the loop easy; the seasonal bus needs checking first.

Practical tips

Many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses on Menorca close roughly from November to April, so confirm the opening dates of Villas Torre Solí Garden before booking outside the main months. Peak demand lands in July and August, when the car parks at Cala Macarella and Cala en Porter fill early; May, June and September are gentler for the same trips. Accommodation on the island carries the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night by the property, with rates that vary by type and season, under-16s exempt; the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes current rates.
