Son Bou, on the south coast, is a pretty yet modern resort, purpose-built to allow tourists to enjoy the largest beach on the island. Set against a backdrop of low hills and approached through rugged countryside, Son Bou is for those who love a beautiful beach and a gentler pace of holiday. The resort's two commercial centres may somewhat lack local character, but they provide for all tourists' needs, with supermarkets, souvenirs and other essentials.
Son Bou's nightlife buzzes in its lively bars and discos - there's certainly plenty to do. The narrow sands of Son Bou Beach span around 2km (the far end is a dedicated nudist beach). Most restaurants are dotted along the seafront, serving a range of food to cater to all visitors' appetites. Try some handmade cheese from Mahon - it's reputed to be the best in Europe!
