Balearics — Introduction

A visual treat, the Balearics dramatic cliffs topped with wild flowers, shoulder gently shelving beaches. The ever-inviting Mediterranean is all the more alluring as the sun dapples onto wispy tides.

Each island is distinctly different. Majorca’s Alcúdia, a favourite celebrity hideaway for its sheltered coves, and lovely Puerto Pollensa are among the highlights.

While the island’s coves are sought out by sunbathers the countryside is home to olive groves, vineyards and ancient churches.

Discover some of the best beaches in the northern Mediterranean Ibiza. The island’s dance music scene may draw trendy travellers but Ibiza’s also a pretty island with a relaxing and welcoming spirituality.

Ibiza Town, like Majorca’s capital Palma and Minorca’s Mahon, is steeped in history with medieval walls protecting its jewel, the old town Dalt Vila.

Follow Minorca’s resident butterflies as they float through its green fields towards long silvery sand beaches. This unspoilt island is known for its quiet way of life and charming towns.
