Overview
The Balearic Islands are four islands and a thousand personalities. Mallorca combines the elegance of Palma with the Serra de Tramuntana and turquoise coves. Menorca is the quintessential quiet island, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, with a virgin coastline walkable along the Camí de Cavalls. Ibiza has two souls: the global party and the bohemian corners of the north. And Formentera is the last Mediterranean frontier, a strip of white sand and crystal-clear water.
