Overview
A livelier resort south of Ciutadella the hub of which is centred around the Marina. There is a wide variety of Bars and Restaurants surrounding the Marina and 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 a 15 minutes away.
Cala en Bosch 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 package holiday hotels on the island.
Facilities
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 tour package hotels while Cala en Bosch still gives offers private villa accommodation away from the "buzz" giving you the best of both worlds.
Menorca Tips
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.
There is a regular bus ( No. 65 ) with stops around Cala en Bosch and Son Xoriguer to Ciutadella.
Daytime Entertainment
The 'Goody Goody Park' 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".
Around the marina there is an assortment of amusements for small and the not so small.
Boat Trips to Virgin Beaches
From the marina there is a selection of boat trips to see the island from the sea and to visit some of those picture postcard beaches you can see above and read about here. Playa Son Saura can even be reached on foot ( 1 hr - 1 hr 30min ) from a path starting from the eastern end of Son Xorigeur beach.
Boat Excursions
Subject to weather there are trips taking in the southern coast virgin beaches upto Cala Escorxada. Usually with swimming stops and an extended stay at one of the beaches on route. Trips circa 3 hours. Enquire locally for current times and prices.
Alternatively a little more personal is motor boat coast trekking - from Surf Sail Menorca.

Nightime Entertainment
As with most resorts in Menorca, evening entertainment here is generally to be found in the resort Bars but nothing that would ever compare to the neon jungle of the popular resorts along the south coast of Majorca. Mahon and Ciutadella however offer something for everyone, but with none of the "binge drink clubbing" to be found on Ibizia and Majorca. Menorca is NOT Majorca but that is why many people come here!
The Bars and Restaurants around the marina come alive at night providing a choice of entertainment for all ages and tastes.

Ciutadella
An elegant taste of former times with fine old spanish palaces, moorish influences, wonderful old centre and a charming little harbour. Ciutadella was the original capital of the island lying at the western edge of the island looking out to its bigger neighbour Mallorca. A superb contrast to the beach and holiday resort. Great atmosphere and shopping and a place to wander the pedestrianised old city and its many narrow streets with hidden shops and Cafe treats. Also competes with Mahon for the title of the best music Bars and venues on the island. The scene for the spectacular Sant Joan festival in June, when stunning native black horses parade through the streets and the brave try to "touch the horses' heart" as it rears in front of them.
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 sophisticated 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 through the very attractive valleys of Vall de Algaiarens.
