Overview

Spain Balearic Islands

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.

Country Guide

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.
