Like a set of dazzling jewels set at the heart of the Mediterranean, the Balearic Islands continue to attract visitors the world over. Every island offer something for everyone from Mallorcan Palma's cosmopolitan seafront, party capital Ibiza to the peaceful rustic charm of pine-clad Menorca and unspoilt Formentera. As much a hideaway for Hollywood stars as the perfect family getaway, the Balearic Islands offer the ultimate holiday combination. You can take a long lazy lunch in the plaza, enjoy a picture-postcard picnic on a hillside somewhere or wander through cobbled streets home to typical souvenir markets as designer boutiques. Nature, history and art mix with culture, fashion and daily Spanish life. Take a ferry trip to 12 mile Formentera and view the Ses Salines salt pans, finish the night of your life with a sunrise courtesy of Ibiza’s Café del mar, enjoy Menorca’s tranquil beaches coves and hike to see a little bit of history in its stone slab ‘taulas’ or treat yourself to Mallorca’s speciality a set of beautiful hand-crafted artificial pearls.
