The Balearic Islands

About The Balearic Islands

The Balearic Islands are a firm favorite with holiday makers and are make up the most popular summer holiday destination for families and couples alike.

The Balearic Islands are divided into Gimnesias (Mallorca, Menorca and Cabrera) in the North, and Pitiusas (Ibiza y Formentera) in the South-West.

The excellent climate in the Balearic Islands with some 300 days of sun per year, wonderful beaches, a rich cultural offer and the unusual hospitality of their inhabitants make Balearic Islands one of the preferred holiday destinations in Spain. 

Each of the islands has a strong personality all of its own, and each of them offers much more than just the possibility of spending your holidays at the beach ...

  • Majorca has everything a visitor might want from their holiday. Tourism on Majorca started to develop in the 1920s, and until the Spanish Civil War it was mainly intellectuals and artists who were attracted by this island.

 is often called the White Island for its typical architecture. The island of Ibiza became popular with tourists during the 1960s, being then famous for its "Hippie-Culture" and nudist beaches.

Today Ibiza has plenty to offer the holiday maker, it's as popular with families and older visitors as it  is for the young ones who are attracted by the island's world famous nightlife, which starts in the afternoon, at the beaches and in the center of town, to continue until dawn in the numerous discotheques.

If you leave the beaches behind you to explore the island's interior, you will find a pure and simple Mediterranean culture, and remains of populations which inhabited Ibiza thousands of years ago, as for instance the famous wall-paintings of Ses Fontelles.

  • Menorca legend tells that the winds of Menorca modify the personality of people. Maybe that is the reason why those who came here once as tourists mostly return ...

Menorca certainly has a very strong personality, and a very different one to the rest of the islands. Menorca, the "minor" island, as it was called by Romans, has an almost virginal interior (compared for instance to the "major" island, Mallorca) and shows interesting remains of its old history. 
There are beaches and lonely bays around it at a length of 216 kilometers. An ideal resort for all those who are looking for true relaxation.
