Son Bou is a small village in the Alaior region of Menorca, Spain.
The village is located on the south of the island. It is split into three districts: Son Bou (mostly shops, restaurants and two large hotels), San Jaime (villas and garden apartments) and Torre Soli Nou (private villas and apartment complexes).
The beach at Son Bou is the longest on the island - some 3 km of golden sands. The government have recently put up rope fencing around the dunes to deter access, as part of their dune regeneration programme. There are three beach bars that serve food and drinks. Behind the beach is an extensive area of wetland, comprising open water and reed beds. This is a protected nature reserve containing many species of birds, amphibians and insects. The beach is very popular with naturists of all ages.
Son Bou has various attractions, including the Basilica Paleocristiana de Son Bou (an early Christian church of the 5th century, whose remains were discovered in 1951).
Outside of the holiday season, the Son Bou resort is very quiet as most facilities are shut down during the winter months. Within the village are four hotels; two in Son Bou, one in San Jaime and one in Torre Soli Nou. There is also a campsite, Camping Son Bou, about 2 miles away, along the back road from Torre Soli Nou.
