Relaxed retreat in sunny 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 (available for €20 per day) 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.
If R&R is on the agenda, make for the spa and unwind with a trip to the sauna, or better yet, an indulgent massage. There's also an indoor pool that's always heated to the optimum temperature. Fitness fans, meanwhile, can enjoy the well-kitted out gym on-site, so your routine needn’t take a back seat during your stay. They haven’t forgotten about the little ones, either. A separate splash pool is just for them plus a kids’ club full of fun activities and the mini disco will keep them well entertained.
Wondering when we’ll get to the food? Expect a generous buffet of round-the-world dishes, plus show cooking and themed dinners that cover off the likes of Mexican, Asian, and Italian fare to name a few. A poolside snack bar will keep the hunger at bay during the day with its range of light bites, while a couple of watering holes will ensure you’re never too far from a cocktail. In addition to the main lounge bar – which is home to the nightly entertainment – there’s an adults-only place tucked away that makes the perfect spot for a nightcap.
Just so you know, for €6 (per person, per day) guests can enjoy unlimited drinks at lunch or dinner. The charge is payable at reception and available to guests who aren't on AI Premium.
