The Balearic Islands are a traveling sensation for many, and not purely because the climate is so dreamy all year-round. Islands such as Ibiza are renowned for their world famous clubs and visited by millions of party-goers around the seasonal clock, whereas islands such as Menorca and Formentera radiate a more bohemian and chill vibe, enabling jet-setters to unwind in a coastal paradise right on Europe’s doorstep.
Sailing the Balearic Islands is increasingly appealing to many who wish to experience the secluded coves of the islands and tailor their own travel itinerary, all the while never having to worry about moving their possessions around with them. With boat charter agencies such as Nautal, renting a boat is an effortless, and better yet, an affordable option for an incomparable holiday adventure.
Mallorca is bursting at its coastal seams with hidden coves and golden stretches of sand where you can unwind in the Mediterranean sunshine. Here are our top four beach recommendations…
Cala Fornells, serene and beautiful, is sublime for a day spent with your other half or a group of friends. This beach has a calm and romantic ambience for those looking
to anchor in tranquility. Hungry? Visit La Gran Tortuga for a delicious lunch and spectacular seaside view.
Es Caló used to be known as Cap Ferrutx, an old dock many years ago. The coastline here is rockier, ideal for anchoring and observing octopuses and other sea life as you snorkel!
As one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful beaches, Cala Formentor is one of the most touristic and well known beaches on the island. The fine, white sand is smooth on your skin and incredibly photogenic against the crystal clear seawater.
Over 1350 meters of paradisiac beach, Platja d’es Carbó is a yacht hotspot in the summertime and a great barefoot running location for your morning or evening workout.
Bathing in clear cerulean sea isn’t the only kind of bathing you can do in the Balearic Islands. On Platja de s’Alga, an the islet off of the island Formentera, you can give your skin a real treat and swap sea salt for earthy minerals in an indulging mud bath!
It gets better… You can even host your own boat party in Ibiza! Imagine yourself on a luxurious catamaran or sail away on a romantic holiday for two without any form of sailing qualification or knowledge! Sailing with a skipper is one of the best ways to learn the secret hotspots and best places for eating out—or having a boogie!
