Mountain paths to hidden coves, pristine sands, and hilltop villages… holidays in the Balearic Islands are enduringly enticing for anyone seeking a bucolic, coastal retreat. Our specialists have explored the length and breadth of this archipelago just off the eastern coast of Spain, focusing on the three largest islands, Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza, together with smaller Formentera. They’ll introduce you to the islands’ quieter, lesser-trodden highlights, using their first-hand knowledge to recommend what to experience and where to stay as they create a trip that’s uniquely yours.
Historically seen as the jewel in an imperial crown, the islands have been architecturally and culturally influenced by centuries of Byzantine, Muslim, British, and Spanish rule. Both Catalan and Spanish are spoken throughout the region. But, each has its own individual character, which we’ll help you discover. That could be through an artisan visit to the olive groves and vineyards of Mallorca, enjoying bespoke hiking and boat trips in Menorca, or tasting Ibiza’s signature Hierbas liqueur on a tasting tour of Ibiza Town. That’s all while relishing the sunsets, beaches, and the slow beat of Mediterranean living.
