Balearic Islands holidays break down...
Ibiza
Party capital? Sure. But Ibiza’s got more than just world-class DJs and dancefloors. Think yoga on the beach at sunrise, boho markets by day, and cocktails under the stars. It’s a vibe – and then some.
Majorca
The biggest of the bunch, and packed with personality. Whether you're chasing waterfalls in the mountains, sipping sangria in Palma, or flopping on a beach near Alcudia – Majorca does it all, effortlessly.
Menorca
Low-key but lush, Menorca’s all about sleepy seaside towns, unspoiled beaches, and laid-back living. It’s the Balearic slow-mo button – perfect if your vibe is “do not disturb.”
Formentera
Tiny but mighty on charm, Formentera’s Ibiza’s cool little sibling with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches and a no-fuss, barefoot luxury feel. Come for the peace, stay for the paradise.
Best beaches to visit on your Balearic holidays
From powdery white sands to secret rocky coves, every Balearic island brings its A-game when it comes to beaches. You bring the sun cream – we’ll bring the inspo:
Playa de Ses Illetes, Formentera – Caribbean vibes, Spanish postcode. Soft sands and seriously clear water.
Cala Conta, Ibiza – golden sand, epic sunsets, and water so sparkly it deserves its own filter.
Es Trenc, Majorca – long, laid-back and blissfully unspoilt. A beach bum’s paradise.
Cala Turqueta, Menorca – tucked away and totally worth the find. Ideal for peace, pics and paddle dips.
Best hotels to stay at on your Balearic Islands holidays
Whether you're here to chill, thrill, or keep the kids entertained, a family, couple, or group, the Balearics have a hotel for every kind of holidaymaker:
INNSiDE by Melia Alcudia - chic and sleek, with two beaches just minutes away.
Ibiza Rocks Hotel - Adults Only - pool parties, DJs, and big-night-out energy. You’ve been warned.
Sol Katmandu Park & Resort - theme park, splash park, even themed rooms. The kids will love it (and so will you).
