The beaches in the Balearics are long, sandy and very, very inviting, as you’ll find out if you choose a beach holiday to the islands.
The south coast of Majorca, around the capital Palma, is where you’ll find the liveliest resorts and some of the island’s best beaches. The beautiful north and west coastlines are wild and rugged, dominated by the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range.
With its azure skies, endless sunshine and beaches of pale golden sand washed by a turquoise sea, Menorca has all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday. Its beaches are some of the finest in Europe, from fun-packed family resorts to hidden pine-fringed coves.
Ibiza is sometimes referred to as the ‘white island’ and, even with more than 50 beaches, there is still plenty of scope for discovering a remote cove. Most visitors to Formentera are day trippers, but an increasing number are tempted to spend more time here because of the beauty of the countryside – still largely unspoilt – and the fabulous beaches.
But there’s more the beaches than the sand and the sea (if you want more, that is) and you’ll find no shortage of activities, including a wide range of watersports. The perfect place for keeping both adults and kids entertained on a Balearic Islands beach holiday.
Alcudia holidays offer a well established resort, and it wants for nothing when it comes to bars, hotels, waterparks and restaurants: all the ingredients for a relaxing, enjoyable, stress-busting holiday in the mild Majorcan climate.
A lesser-known gem in Menorca, Biniancolla is a charming place found in the Sant Luis in the south of the island.
A small town on the south east corner of Menorca, Biniatap de Dalt. Easy to visit in an afternoon, it is close to the coastline and a handful of other small towns.
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.
Despite being only 20 minutes from Palma and the airport, Calvia is a charming town. Peaceful and quiet, it is surrounded by spectacular scenery. It also has plenty of modern amenities.
An idyllic destination, Ca’n Picafort boasts a 13km horseshoe-shaped bay of sparkling waters and sugary sands. Originally a fishing village, a bubbling town has developed around the harbour and along the promenade.
