Calan Bosch Beach
Cala en Bosch and Son Xoriguer each have their own beach. Cala en Bosch beach is close to the Marina area 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. The beach at Son Xoriguer is where the watersports can be found.

The joint 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 livelier resort ( by Menorca's 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 livelier than most resorts. In Cala'n Bosch you will find the most better quaility family hotels with on site facilities for younger children on Menorca which makes it very popular . Conversely it is not so typical of the Menorca described in many guides. 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 to/from the marina.
Being a purpose built holiday resort it contains all you need from a holiday resort and benefits by having the central 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.

Cala'n Bosch - Marina
A man made marina provides the hub of Cala en Bosch with the majority of Bars and Restaurants clustered around it's three sides-This creates a buzy atmosphere evenings but similarly hotels next to the Marina will have to accept this background noise.
Shopping and Supermarkets
See map for Supermarket locations
There are plenty of supermarkets around Cala en Bosch which also offer cycle hire, beach and summer wear. There is a small shopping centre at the Marina with a wider range of clothes, shoes. 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 ( but frankly it is awful and full of tat ) - visiit the evening and Artisan markets in Ciutadella instead.

Calan Bosch - Nightlife
As with most resorts in Menorca, evening entertainment here is generally to be found in the resort Bars rather than Dance clubs but nothing that would ever compare to the neon jungle of the resorts along the south coast of Majorca or Ibiza. 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!
Ciutadella Nightlife
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 street artists and traders offering their handicrafts and jewellry. There are a couple of bars that offer Karaoke- see full list
Taxis ( late night ) back from Ciutadella max. 22 Euro
