Calan Bosch Beach
Cala en Bosch and Son Xoriguer each have their own beach. Cala'n Bosch beach is closest to the Marina area and around the headland is the neighbouring beach of Son Xoriguer. Caln Bosch is the bigger of the two, has fine white sands and is part of bay which calms the waters for the smaller children. Rocky areas to the sides of both beaches provide good snorkelling. The beach at Son Xoriguer is where the watersports can be found. Pedaloes can be hired from the beach. ...

How does Cala'n Bosch compare to Puerto de Pollenca?
One of the flattest resorts on Menorca there is certainly no nearby golf, mountain backdrop, no lively town and the resort and beach is very small by comparison.
The combined resorts of Cala en Bosch ( Cap d'Artrutx ) and Son Xoriguer are located on the south west tip of Menorca. With views over to neighbouring Majorca it lies 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 big resort ( by Menorca's small scale standards ) , the main commercial area of which is centred around a man made marina. There are a wide variety of Bars and Restaurants in the Cala en Bosch also a handful in Cap D'artrutx and directly behind Son Xoriguer beach.
Built in the 1980s, Cala en Bosch / Son Xoriguer is one of only a few resorts on Menorca purpose built for tourism and as such it has the most hotels and greatest number of Holiday visitors making it busier than most resorts. In Cala'n Bosch you will find the most better quaility family hotels with on site facilities and entertainments suited to younger children on Menorca which makes Cala'n Bosch very popular with youg family package holiday fans.
Conversely it is not so typical of the Menorca described in many guides. There is a deliberately quieter area for Villas at Cap D'artrux which is 10-20m slow walk to/from the marina.

Cala'n Bosch Boat and Coast Tours
Pre bookable Boat Trips can explore North ( pick Ciutadella Bus 65 as departure ) and South coasts by picking Cala'n Bosch Marina
Cala'n Bosch - Marina
The marina is the hub of Cala'n Bosch and location of the majority of Bars and Restaurants clustered around it's three sides - This creates a buzy atmosphere evenings but similarly hotel guests next to the Marina will have to accept this 'convenience'.
Supermarkets
There are plenty of well stocked supermarkets around Cala en Bosch. Some of which also offer cycle hire, beach and summer wear. There is a small shopping centre at top of the Marina with a wider range of clothes, shoes, toys and souvenirs. However Ciutadella is within easy reach where you will be spoilt with individual shops in the old city's attractive streets. ( very few awful chain stores! ). There is a summer 'market' by marina ( but just a few stalls / hair braiding ) - visit the evening and artisan markets in Ciutadella instead.

Nightlife in Cala'n Bosch
As with most beach resorts on Menorca, evening entertainment here is generally to be found in the resort Hotels and odd Bar rather than in strips of Booming Bars / Dance clubs.
There are a couple of bars that offer occasional live music, Karaoke/ Quiz nights ( Toms Bar,Chaplins... )
Taxis ( late night ) back from Ciutadella max. 22 Euro
A sunset stroll along the coastline promenande at Cap D'Artrux
Ciutadella offers alot more with something for everyone, but with none of the "bing drink clubbing" to be found on Ibizia and Majorca. Menorca is not Majorca but that is why many people come here!

A larger Menorca holiday resort Cala'n Bosch offers the most touristic facilities of any resort on Menorca. Plus watersports, bike, boatrips and hire from the marina and beach at Son Xoriguer. Virgin beaches by foot, mtb, water taxi, Boat trips and Horseback. Calan Bosch does not have the same quality of natural scenery of Menorca's typical south coast resorts.
