In the Balearics, you can take some time to recharge those batteries!

The Balearic Islands welcome you under the Mediterranean sunshine, with a turquoise sea and deep blue skies – like something out of a dream! Each island has its own special atmosphere and character. Ibiza is famous for its party people because there the music sets the pace day and night; meanwhile the larger island of Mallorca is highly popular with tourists and attracts visitors for its many beaches and picture-postcard landscapes.

Menorca is quieter and renowned for its authenticity, rich verdant nature, and diverse and unique cultural heritage. For even more adventures, head off on an excursion to the islets of Cabrera, Conejera and Espalmador to add a touch more magic to your Balearic Island stay.
