Spanish island life doesn’t get any better than this. Stunning scenery, blissful beaches and captivating resorts – a holiday to the Balearic Islands has all this to offer and a great deal more besides.
The myriad charms of holidays in the Balearic Islands – lying off the eastern coast of the Spanish mainland – are irresistible. Life on the islands of Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza is as laid back or active, hedonistic or cultural as you care to make it. For these are gems of many facets, where the beaches are soft, golden and plentiful, where first class modern resorts jumble alongside delightful unspoilt villages, where you can dance under the stars, wander through mandarin groves and explore spectacular mountain scenery.
Formentera, the more understated of the four, has managed to escape the holidaying hoards and instead offers a rare chance of a day’s retreat into silence. The larger islands are mostly known for attracting tourists that party all night and sunbathe all day but each has its own distinct sights and varied coastal resorts. For example, a trip to the northern coast of Majorca reveals stylish hill towns and jagged mountains.
By and large, the good value of Balearics holidays, combined with lively and family friendly resorts continue to ensure that these islands have their place in the sun.
A tranquil and secluded area where you can get away from it all, Sant Cristofol is perfect for those who want peace and quiet.
Molinar de Lavente is a quaint and picturesque little town. It has a small harbour surrounded by a cluster of well-reputed restaurants that all have a great atmosphere.
Cala Millor is the biggest resort on the East coast of Majorca. There is a wide choice of hotels and restaurants, and a dreamy 6km stretch of golden sand beach sheltered by two unspoilt headlands.
Coll d’en Rebassa is a small town with a picturesque bay. It is within easy reach of the airport and only a short drive from Palma.
A traditional fishing village that has so far resisted full-scale tourist development, Porto Colom’s best feature is its attractive harbour, home to several local fishing boats. The local beach is only a 500m walk away.
Ideal for those looking for a secluded escape, Trebalugur is a tiny rural village with only a few white-washed houses and local shops. Located only 10 minutes from the capital, Mahon, amenities are within easy reach.
