Shared Villas and Apartments
One of the big advantages of Cala’n Bosch is the variety of accommodation. While there are hotels around the resort, many visitors choose to stay in villas or apartments. Renting a shared space is not only good value but also makes group holidays more sociable. Imagine lazy breakfasts by the pool, evening barbecues, or gathering on the terrace with a bottle of local wine before heading out. Having your own base also gives everyone the freedom to dip in and out of activities at their own pace.
Beach Days Made Easy
There are some great beaches in and around the resort. The main beach at Cala’n Bosch is a wide, sandy bay with calm waters; it’s easy to reach on foot from most parts of the resort, so no complicated planning is needed. Groups can spread out on the sand, take turns swimming, or hire pedalos and paddleboards for a bit of fun on the water. If you fancy a change of scenery, Son Xoriguer beach is just a short stroll away and has a more active vibe, with water sports and windsurfing on offer. Having two beaches so close together makes it simple to please different tastes in the group.
Adventures on the Water
With Cala’n Bosch’s marina right at the heart of the resort, the sea is never far from the action. Hiring a boat is one of the most popular group activities, and it’s easy to see why. You can spend a whole day exploring Menorca’s coastline, anchoring in hidden coves and diving into clear turquoise waters. No boating licence? No problem – there are small motorboats available that anyone can handle after a quick briefing. For larger groups, skippered boats and catamaran trips offer a more relaxed way to see the island together.
Eating Out by the Marina
Food always plays a central role in a holiday with friends, and Cala’n Bosch’s marina is lined with restaurants and bars that suit every taste. From casual pizzerias to seafood grills, you’ll find plenty of options for group dinners. The atmosphere in the evening is lively but not overwhelming – perfect for long meals that stretch into late-night conversations. For a more local flavour, try Menorcan specialities such as caldereta de langosta (lobster stew) or sobrassada, a spiced cured sausage. Sharing a few traditional dishes is a great way to get everyone involved.
Activities for Every Energy Level
Groups often have a mix of personalities – some want to pack every day with adventure, while others prefer a slower pace. Cala’n Bosch makes it easy to satisfy both. Active friends can hire bikes and follow the coastal paths, go diving to discover underwater caves, or even try sailing lessons. Those who prefer to take it easy can linger on the beach, shop for souvenirs around the marina, or enjoy a leisurely spa afternoon in nearby hotels. The beauty of the resort is that it’s compact and safe, so everyone can do their own thing and easily regroup later.
Day Trips and Shared Experiences
While Cala’n Bosch itself has plenty to offer, it’s also a great base for exploring the rest of Menorca. A short drive takes you to Ciutadella, the island’s former capital, with its historic streets, elegant squares, and bustling markets. This makes for a fun half-day trip with lots of shared photo opportunities and shopping stops. For nature lovers, the Cami de Cavalls, a circular coastal path that runs around the entire island, offers beautiful walking routes. Tackling even a short section of this trail as a group is a rewarding experience.
Evenings Out Together
After dark, Cala’n Bosch has just the right amount of nightlife for groups looking to socialise without the full-on clubbing scene. Marina bars provide cocktails and live music, while relaxed lounges are ideal for chatting late into the night. If you’re in the mood for something livelier, Ciutadella’s nightspots are only a short taxi ride away. Having a choice of atmospheres means you can switch it up depending on the group mood.
Making Memories That Last
What makes Cala’n Bosch special for groups is the way it combines convenience with variety. Everything is close at hand, so you don’t need to spend ages coordinating logistics, yet there’s enough choice to keep everyone entertained. Days can be as active or as restful as you like, and evenings bring everyone back together around the marina or at a shared villa. The result is a holiday where friendships are strengthened, memories are made, and the biggest decision you’ll face is whether to spend tomorrow on the beach or out on the water.

- Compact and easy to get around – no long transfers or complicated planning.
