The joint resort of Cala en Bosch and Son Xoriguer is located on the South West tip of the island. Approximately 45-50 mins., from the Airport. With views over to neighbouring Majorca and just 10km south of the beautiful old city of Ciutadella, which is reachable via a regular bus service. Also known by all these names: Cala D'en Bosch, Cala n Bosch or Cala en Bosc and Cap d'Artrutx.
A livelier resort ( by Menorca standards ) south of Ciutadella the hub of which is centred around the yacht marina. There is a wide variety of Bars and Restaurants surrounding the Marina and is a great spot to watch the boats slowly come and go at their own leisurely pace. Wander through the small selection of shops and local stalls in the evening, having enjoyed the sandy beach during the day, maybe even a day trip on the glass bottom boat, or visit Ciutadella just 15-20 minutes away. Note there is a late bus 00:15 back from Ciutadella so you can enjoy a long evening there too.
Built in the 1980s, Cala en Bosch / Son Xoriguer is one of a handful of resorts on the island purpose built for tourism. As such it contains more attractions than other resorts making it livelier than most. As such it also has the highest concentration of Hotels and Aparthotels on the island. Conversely it is not 'authentic Menorca' and also seasonal. There is a definite and quieter area for Villas and Apartments at the area locally called Cap D'artrux which is 10-20m slow walk from the marina.
Cala en Bosch and Son Xoriguer each have their own beach. Cala en Bosch beach is next to the Marina and around the headland is the neighbouring beach of Son Xoriguer. Cala en Bosch is much the bigger of the two, has fine white sandy and is part of inlet which calms the waters for the smaller children and provides good snorkelling with it's rocks along the bay sides.
Being a purpose built holiday resort it contains all you need from a holiday resort while still retaining charm because of the popular Marina area. Neighbouring Son Xoriguer has perhaps become too dominated by hotels while Cala en Bosch ( Cap D' Artrutx ) still offers private villa accommodation away from the "buzz"/ noise giving you the best of both worlds.
It is quite common for the prices of the childrens entertainment to seem quite high at first sight, but often the charge is for a day ticket or a large number of hours, so you can always return later in the evening before or after a drink/meal or snack at the Marina. Make sure you get a stamp to allow them back in later.
As a larger resort there are several mini zones where you will find shops offering summer clothing and foot wear, souvenirs. At the villa area Cap D'artrutx there is an area catering for the mainly villas accommodation there with cycle hire, supermarkets, Bar Restaurants and Titanic - a small scale childrens play park (pool, arcade games and pool tables) with catering. Around the Marina is a wide assortment of establishments ( to right of Marina bridge,western entrance to beach and northern side of Marina ).
There is a regular bus run by TORRES ( No. 65 ) with stops around Cala en Bosch and Son Xoriguer to Ciutadella. Single is around 1.50 Eur. Can also get to Cala Blanca beach just up the road (10mns ) if you fancy a change of beach scene or the wind is coming from the south/ sea rough at Cala en Bosch ( Cala Blanca should be more sheltered in its westerly facing long inlet )
Unterwegs mit Bus und Taxi Mit den Öffentlichen unterwegs

Auch in den lokalen Zeitungen z.B. Ultima Hora Menorca, Menorca auf den hinteren Seiten sind die meisten der Inseln Busfahrpläne veröffentlicht. Sie werden fast immer eine Kopie dieser Zeitungen in einem spanischen Cafe-Bar finden.
The 'Goody Goody Park' on the corner of the Marina has a good selection of indoor amusement halls, bouncy castles, small pool with waterslides, ball pits, bowling, crazy golf, bumper cars, and trampolines and all things to brighten the eyes of children and to keep them amused. Parents can enjoy a drink in the patio areas and have an eye open on them, but still "relax".

Of the two waterparks this is perhaps the better one to visit.

Menorca ist Balearen ohne Ballermann - hier wie in den meisten Ferienorte auf Menorca, organisierte Abendunterhaltung wird in der Regel in den Pauschal Hotels und einige Bars zu finden. Mahon, Ciutadella und Es Castell bieten jedoch viel mehr für jeden etwas aber ohne Ballermann.
The Bars and Restaurants around the marina come alive at night providing a choice of entertainment for all ages and tastes. In high season you can find a wide range street artists and small street traders offering their handicrafts and jewellry. The childrens play parks stay open late so mums and dads can also have some time to themselves.
Eine elegante Geschmack vergangener Zeiten. Mit schönen alten Paläste , maurischen Einflüssen, eine wunderschöne Altstadt und einem charmanten kleinen Hafen.Ciutadella war die ursprüngliche Hauptstadt der Insel und liegt am westlichen Rand der Insel mit Blick auf seine größeren Nachbarn - Mallorca. Eine hervorragende Gegensatz zu den Strand und Badeorte.
Ciutadella bietet tolle Atmosphäre und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Es ist einfach wunderschön durch der Altstadt Fußgängerzone mit ihren vielen engen Gassen, versteckten Geschäften und Cafes alles zu entdecken.
Auch ständig im "Wettbewerb" mit Mahon für den Titel "Ort der besten Musik-Bars und Lokalen" auf der Insel! Der Schauplatz für die spektakuläre Sant Joan Fest im Juni - wenn fantastischen schwarzen einheimischen Pferden durch die Straßen gehen. Hier stehen die edlen menorquinischen Rösser, die von ihren Reitern zu waghalsigen Kunststücken angetrieben werden, im Mittelpunkt.
A small quiet fishing village resort on the north west coast set in dramatic rocky coastlines. Best known for the extensive man made (Bronze and Iron ages) cave dwellings nearby that give a real sense of cave "living" ( though many caves were also for burial ). Some are sophistacted with central roof columns and windows. Some are obviously younger and larger, cut with more advanced metal tools, but the smaller older ones gives a view into another world. A good place to combine with a visit to the beautiful virgin beach of Algaiarens and walks athrough the very attractive valleys of Vall de Algaiarens.
