Best hot spots to visit in the Balearic Islands

You don’t need to go to the other side of the world to see stunning scenery, because in the heart of the Mediterranean lies the Balearic Islands. Beaches with crystal waters and hidden coves to explore, makes the archipelago a sailor’s paradise!

Ibiza

Looking beyond its famous nightlife and party atmosphere, Ibiza also has plenty of superb natural beauty spots to explore. Among the main tourist attractions, it’s worthwhile to take yourself up to the city of Ibiza, otherwise known as Eivissa in Catalan. Here, you can go for a walk in the historic Dalt Vila quarter. Surrounded by a wall dating back to the 16th century, you can stroll through the atypical narrow streets of the UNESCO World Heritage area. Why not visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria de las Nieves or enjoy a breathtaking view of the city from the bastion of Santa Llúçia?

Close by, are the two major cities of Sant Antoni de Portmany and the Santa Eulària des Riu to allow you to see a bit more of the island.

However, if you prefer to be out in nature, pack your picnic and set sail towards the east of the island in search of the magnificent Es Vedra or the Ses Salines national park. Extending south towards neighbouring Formentera, the park boasts exceptional views and scenery. Drop your anchor and spend some time in the quieter coves.
