Menorca (Minorca) City Car Hire

Son Bou is home to Menorca's longest sandy beach, almost 3 kilometers of white sand along the south coast. With three operators on-site, you have good opportunities to get a car and explore everything from prehistoric monuments to remote northern coves. Son Bou is one of the island's most popular resorts and a car gives you the freedom to escape the crowds.

Son Bou is approximately 20 km southwest of Mahón, roughly 25 minutes' drive via Alaior. Torre d'en Galmés, one of Menorca's best-preserved prehistoric complexes, is just 5 km to the north toward Alaior. Santo Tomás, the next resort along the south coast, is reached in 10 minutes' drive west.

Drive north to Alaior to visit Torre d'en Galmés – the entrance costs just a few euros and the site is impressive. Park your car at the eastern end of Son Bou beach to avoid the most congested parking areas. Take a trip to Cova des Coloms, a gigantic cave 8 km to the north – a short walk from the parking area.

How far is it from Son Bou to Mahón airport? The airport is approximately 22 km to the east, roughly 25–30 minutes' drive via Alaior and Me-1. Is Son Bou beach suitable for families with children?

Yes, the beach is wide and shallow in the water's edge, but wind can sometimes create waves – check conditions before swimming. Are there parking fees at Son Bou beach? Parking at the beach is charged during peak season, approximately 1–2 euros per hour.
