Ibiza, the north-east coast

To the east of Ibiza, Santa Eulalia is a seaside resort that is very popular among German holidaymakers. This rather quiet little city has a pleasant marina surrounded by a lengthy pedestrian promenade that connects two small beaches. A few miles to the north, the hippie market of Es Cana attracts many tourists every Wednesday. Even further north you will find the village of Sant Carlos and its beautiful little church with immaculate white walls. A few miles away, the beach of Es Figueral offers tourists tranquility, clean beaches with clear waters. To the north of Ibiza, the creeks of Portinatx and San Miquel are home to some splendid seaside resorts. The coast hides many coves including the beautiful Cala de Benirras, protected by the amazing 'finger of God' rocky lookout that offers an ideal setting for watching the sunsets. During the summer months, the hippie community flocks here every Sunday to bathe in the sounds of world music in a 'flower power' ambience worthy of the 1960s! The countryside in this part of the island is also beautiful, with fragrant pine forests scattered over the hilly interior.

Spain Balearic Islands :

Destination overview

A major Spanish tourist attraction, the Balearic archipelago is composed of four main islands: lively Ibiza, tranquil Majorca, discreet Minorca, and the small but sublime Formentera. Magnificent crystal clear water, fiestas, medieval fortified cities and eco-tourism are all part of this destination which is too often stereotyped and confused with the mass tourism on the urbanised coasts of mainland Spain.

pros

A reliable tourist infrastructure.
A good quality of life in a 100 % Mediterranean setting.
An ideal destination to get some sun at almost any time of the year.

cons

Busy tourist sites and the inconvenience that goes with them: waiting in queues, noise, etc.
Certain coastal areas have been blighted by construction and artificial development.

Our Editorial team's advice

Indeed the Balearic Islands are well known for their beaches and sunshine. However, the historically rich cities and stunning island interiors are also worth a visit. Meanwhile, prepare your trips from island to island in advance because even if crossings in the archipelago are regular, a little organisation is required.
