One of the Europe’s most popular travel destinations, Mallorca caters to all tastes. Away from the nightlife of its best-known destinations, you’ll find a treasure-trove of golden hilltop villages, and a kaleidoscope of marine life beneath the surface of its bright blue waters.
Gastronomes will delight at the island’s choice of dining; its restaurants have amassed 10 Michelin stars. At VORO, chef Álvaro Salazar offers free and untethered cuisine with a choice of evolving tasting menus – earning a second Michelin star in 2021.
The largest of its Balearic Islands, Mallorca’s rugged, varied coastline offers a number of stopping ports – including the unspoilt and charming Port de Soller; hemmed in on all sides by mountains, its secluded position offers spectacular sunset views.
Menorca, the northernmost of the Balearic Islands, offers a more tranquil atmosphere than some of its neighbours, and is renowned for its navetes, taules and talaoits – megalithic stone monuments that dot the landscape and hark back to prehistoric human activity.
To the east, regal Mahon boasts one of the world’s largest natural harbours and the island’s best shopping, with vibrant markets and a clutch of independent boutiques. On the west coast lies Ciutadella; once Menorca’s capital, it is home to a labyrinth of medieval streets and an impressive 14th century cathedral.
To the north, the lobster fishing village of Fornells is home to a sheltered harbour; its still waters offer the perfect playground for water sports fans.
The famed ‘White Isle’ needs little introduction, renowned for its legendary nightlife and bustling beaches. But look a little closer and you’ll find a complex, characterful destination with countless hidden gems.
From the bohemian, laidback vibes of Portinatx in the northeast to the island’s gastronomic and premium shopping hub of Santa Eulalia, there is something to suit every mood.
Port d’Ibiza sits at the edge of the bustling Ibiza Town, and welcomes many luxury cruising yachts throughout the year. The town is crowned by the imposing Dalt Vila, the fortified old town that looks down on the bay and its warren of buzzing bars.
The smallest and most southerly of the Balearic Islands, Formentera is an idyllic hideaway where time seems to almost stand still.
Its breathtakingly beautiful beaches regularly rank among the world’s best, and are lapped by sparkling crystalline waters that offer spectacular diving opportunities, including the Mediterranean’s largest shipwreck.
Accessible only by sea, this exclusive paradise is dotted with charming whitewashed villages, and is a favourite among discerning travellers seeking to escape the trappings of real life.
