Party animals, beach lovers and families flock to the four Balearic Islands, Mallorca (Majorca), Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera, in droves to enjoy all that these beautiful Islands have to offer the holidaymaker. The Balearic Islands have something to offer everyone - mountain trekking, walking, historical buildings, cycling, water sports, great beaches, hidden coves and a varied selection of nightlife as well as the usual bars and restaurants serving international cuisine.

Despite mass tourism, these Islands still maintain individuality and history. Behind the gorgeous white sandy beaches, you will find historical buildings, fishing villages and mountain greenery as well as the orange and olive groves.

Mallorca/Majorca is the largest of the Balearics at approximately 1,400 sq miles and situated 120 miles off the east coast of Spain south of Barcelona. The island has varied landscapes of mountains and valleys, rocky coves and over 550 km of coastline. Majorca is favoured by some of the rich and famous who have villas on the Island, as well as the King of Spain.

Ibiza, the favourite destination of the hippies in the 1960's is now famous more for its club land, nightlife and gay scene than its secluded coves, watersports, & water taxis & and beautiful beaches.

Minorca/Menorca is the least known of the Islands, but is perhaps the most exclusive with some of the most striking coastline you'll find anywhere in the Mediterranean. If you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday amongst beautiful, sheltered rocky coves, Menorca will not disappoint.

Only four miles off the coast of Ibiza, Formentera is the least developed and is the smallest and flattest of the islands, only 50km long and 10km wide. Formentera is most famous for its nudist beaches.
