DRENCHED IN SUNSHINE,THE BALEARIC ISLANDSCONSIST OF MALLORCA(MAJORCA), MENORCA (MINORCA) ANDIBIZA, FORMENTERA AND
VARIOUS SMALLER ISLANDSBrimming with stunning scenery and sandy beaches, pulsating nightlife and rural serenity, each of the main islands has its ownlook, feel and individuality and is associated with a particulartype of holiday.
The sheer beauty and simple harmony of MALLORCAissecond to none with a variety of landscapes from lagoons andmarshes to small springs and smooth hills. Beach resorts are inabundance and with 208 beaches, there is one to suit all tastes
from the lively and outgoing to the secluded and tranquil. Thelively resorts of Magaluf and Palma Nova in the south-west offerplenty of watersports, shops, restaurants and a host of clubs,pubs and discos. Whilst the north coast is much quieter withpopular family resorts like Alcudia. The warm shallow waters areperfect for young children, and the beach has fine, clean sand.Colonia San Jordi is located on the south-east coast andbetter known for the Cabrera National Park and thefamous Es Trenc Caribbean style beach. One of thelast big sandy areas which is still unspoilt and
well preserved in Mallorca (partially nudist).
Known as the island of wind, MENORCAis idyllic for those who love sailing and
windsurfing. A number of nautical companiesrent out different kinds of vessels or offerexcursions to any of the beautiful beaches whereyou can enjoy a wonderful dip in the
Mediterranean or a dive into its depths. Menorca is the second-largest island and combinestraditional Mediterranean houses with colonial buildingsdating back to the 18th century. It is generally quieter and lessovertly touristy than its two main neighbours.
Menorcas resorts range from quaint fishing villages with quiet,undisturbed beaches to the family orientated resorts like CalanForcat. The aqua-park and trampolines will entertain the
children and the bathing platforms will satisfy the adults! Aquieter holiday can be enjoyed at Cala Galdana, one of the mostbeautiful coves in the western Mediterranean.
IBIZAhas come to be known as the home of the Balearic Beat,a focus of European club dance music, where top internationalDJs come to perform at the islands huge, highly-developednightclubs. Clubbers from all over flock to San Antonio, Ibizassecond largest town during the summer months from June toSeptember.There is another side to the island, however, popular withfamilies and couples who enjoy the safe, shallow waters of
resorts like San Antonio Bay, Santa Eulalia, Es Cana andPortinatx offering some of the best restaurants, sandy
beaches and watersports. Away from the resorts,Ibiza has a wild, beautiful coastline and enough
space for a completely different kind of holiday.
FORMENTERAis a little bit of Mediterranean paradise south of Ibiza. You will
have to take a ferry across to the island fromIbiza town to La Savina, a pretty working portand exclusive marina, home to million-pound
yachts and fantastic views of Ibiza. Dreamy whitesandy beaches, clear waters and unspoiled nature
makes Formentera the perfect destination for a relaxing holiday. Es Pujols is the main tourist resort on the island,
although much is different to your average tourist resort! Apaved walkway alongside the beach houses cafes andrestaurants and a maze of narrow streets come alive at nightallowing holidaymakers to enjoy the summer evenings withsome alfresco dining.
