Luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants in the Balearic Islands

Travel to the Balearic Islands  

Like confetti scattered off the Spanish coast, the Balearic Islands are a dream place to escape. Attracting travelers from all over the world, each of the four main islands of the archipelago has managed to preserve its charms and identity. Majorca, the big sister, seduces with the wild beauty of its coastline. In the village of Valldemossa, visit the Real Cartuja, the monastery that once served as a love nest for writer George Sand and composer Chopin, and then take the winding roads through the mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana to reach Cap de Formentor and its spectacular cliffs plunging into the Mediterranean. A stopover in Palma de Mallorca is a must during your stay in the Balearic Islands to admire the majestic La Seu cathedral, the Palau de l'Almudaina and the Es Baluard museum, where works by Magritte, Modigliani and Picasso are displayed with pride. The Coves del Drac, home to one of the world's largest underground lakes, is also worth a visit. Declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO, Menorca is the green heart of the archipelago. Venture into the S'Albufera d'es Grau nature park and swim in the crystal-clear waters of Cala Turqueta, Cala Macarella or Cala Pregonda, renowned for its golden-red sand and islets on which waves gently crash in a peaceful sound. Menorca is also home to some of the most important prehistoric sites in the Balearic Islands, including Trepucó and Talatí de Dalt. In Ibiza, be sure to visit Dalt Vila, the old town and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Climb the cobbled streets to the historic treasures at the top: Santa Maria Cathedral and the 16th-century Ibiza Castle and wander through the heart of the island to experience the hippie atmosphere of this unique destination. You can also take advantage of your holiday in the Balearic Islands to discover the magnificent beaches of Formentera. The Migjorn beach is ideal for snorkeling and has the longest stretch of white sand in the area, while the picturesque Cala Saona is surrounded by reddish cliffs that contrast with the turquoise waters.
