We have a selection of great value villas in Son Parc. This is a small resort on the north coast of Menorca, just 30km from the Capital, Mahon and the Airport. Most visitors choose our villas in Son Parc for the lovely Son Saura beach and newly extended golf course..
The beautiful blue flag beach is not large but easily copes with visitors in the summer and has ample parking. There are lifeguards and you can hire sun beds and parasols as well as pedaloes, canoes and windsurfing equipment. At the west end of the beach is a café with refreshments and ice creams etc. For families with small children the opposite end is ideal as the sea is very shallow for quite a way out.
The golf course at Son Parc is the only one in Menorca. Claiming to be championship quality it is ideal for beginners and experienced golfers. It has recently been extended to 18 holes and has been designed to be sympathetic to the local environment by leaving natural features such as rocks and planting in situe. Son Parc Golf is also famous for its resident peacocks!
In addition not the greens, the golf course offers a putting range, tennis court and club house restaurants.
If you are staying in one of our Son Parc villas and would like to eat out then the main commercial centre of Son Parc offers an excellent range of cuisine from traditional Spanish including fish restaurants through to Chinese and even an English Bar. There is also a selection of shops, a supermarket and gift shops. Just up the road is the port of Fornells with it’s array of fishing boats and famous for some of the most fabulous fish restaurants you will ever find, well worth a visit.
