Balearic Islands Holidays

The Balearic Island archipelago lies in the Mediterranean and is comprised of four islands – the Balearic Islands holiday destinations of Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera.

Mallorca is the largest of the islands and offers spectacular mountain scenery, standard beach holidays and hiking. Traditionally the prime Balearic Islands holiday destination for standard package holidays, Mallorca has received a facelift in recent years. Its rundown resorts have been replaced with new modern facilities and its capital city, Palma, now features amongst Spain’s trendiest small cities. Balearic Islands Holidays - Ibiza’s Amazing Clubs and Nightlife

Balearic Islands holidays to Ibiza promise a hedonistic experience. However, Balearic Islands holidays in Ibiza have more to offer than some of the best clubs in the world; it has beautiful beaches, some of the oldest and best preserved medieval towns in Europe, towering cliffs covered in pines and a number of diving schools. The main town has a stunning cathedral and wonderful views of the neighbouring islands.

Menorca is the second largest island and, unlike Ibiza and Mallorca, Balearic Islands holidays in Menorca offer tranquillity, prehistoric monuments and beautiful isolated beaches and coves. Its peaceful resorts line the southern side of the island whilst on the northern side of the island are quiet fishing villages. Menorca has escaped much of the commercialisation and development of the other islands and its family-friendly resorts are ideal for those with children.

Formentera is the smallest of the islands and the most unspoilt. It has some fantastic beaches and bays, some of which have amazing grottos. Its beautiful turquoise waters are ideal for low-key water sports such as snorkelling. The atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful making it the perfect destination for Balearic Islands holidays for those who enjoy nature, or who simply want to chill out and enjoy the parties on the beach at sunset.

Each year the islands play host to thousands of people on Balearic Islands holidays, yet despite all the frenetic activity during the peak Balearic Islands holiday season, the islands have managed to retain much of their intrinsic beauty. Look beyond the high-rise holiday apartments and hotels, tourist beaches and restaurants and bars and there are Stone Age ruins, quaint fishing villages, secluded coves, Gothic churches and scented citrus groves to be discovered. The party-goers and traditional package holidaymakers are still there, but Balearic Islands holidays are becoming more popular amongst those who want elegant rural retreats and A-list restaurants.
