Why we love it
The Balearics balance hidden coves and pine-clad coast with a quiet, design-led scene.
We shape the journey around the season, the right places to stay and the way you like to travel, pairing it beautifully with a Spanish city stay where it suits.

Swipe to explore · the islands worth knowing
The largest island · coves and culture
Mallorca
The grandest of the islands, with a soul to match. Palma's cathedral and old town give way to the dramatic Tramuntana mountains, stone villages such as Deia and Soller, and a coast laced with hidden calas.
Don't miss
- Palma old town
- The Tramuntana
- Deia & Soller
- Hidden calas
- Cap de Formentor
- Country fincas
The white island · coast and wellness
Ibiza
Far more than its reputation suggests. Beyond the famous nightlife lies a quiet north of pine forest and farmland, design-led retreats, the walled old town of Dalt Vila and some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean.
Don't miss
- Dalt Vila
- The quiet north
- Es Vedra at sunset
- Beach-club lunches
- Hidden coves
- Wellness retreats
The quiet one · calas and calm
Menorca
The gentlest of the islands, and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Menorca is famous for its string of unspoilt calas, the harbour town of Mahon, whitewashed Ciutadella and a slower, more rural pace throughout.
Don't miss
- Cala Macarella
- Mahon harbour
- Ciutadella old town
- The Cami de Cavalls
- Prehistoric talayots
- Quiet beaches
The barefoot island · sand and pine
Formentera
The smallest and most barefoot of the islands, reached only by boat. Formentera is white sand, dunes and water the colour of the Caribbean, with little to do but swim, lunch slowly and watch the day go down.
Don't miss
- Ses Illetes beach
- Migjorn sands
- The lighthouse
- Long beach lunches
- Cycling the flatlands
- Sunset at the cape
