Valentin Son Bou

Planning a bumper beach getaway? Valentin Son Bou ticks all those essential holiday boxes – and then some. In the coastal resort of Son Bou, you’ll be just a five-minute shuttle ride – provided free of charge by the hotel – from a long stretch of sandy shore on Menorca’s south coast.

When you’re not lounging on the beach or getting to grips with the resort, there’s plenty to keep you busy on home turf, too. The pool in particular is a winner – plonked right in the centre of the terrace, it’s got plenty of space to make a splash. Fringed with greenery, and with loungers and Bali beds sprinkled around the edge, you’d be hard pressed to find a better spot for a bit of sun worshipping. You can expect the team here to lay on daytime poolside activities, too.
