The Baleric Islands are located in the Mediterranean around a hundred mile from the Costa Blanca coast. For many years a popular destination with British holiday makers, there is something for everyone, from families to the young and lively, in this varied island group.

100 miles south of Barcelona, with their year round balmy climate, the Balearic Islands are well-equipped and reliably gorgeous. With an airport on each of the three largest islands, the region is incredibly accessible, even by car; Barcelona is only a night away by ferry, with extra crossings between July and September. Majorca holidays are perfect for anyone seeking a relaxed blend of stunning landscape, sun-soaked beaches, water sports, affordable tasty food and a well-coordinated holiday infrastructure. Families are especially well taken care of, particularly in Puerto Pollensa, with its safe, sheltered bay and pedestrianised seafront, lined with restaurants and cafe tables overlooking the beach.
Ibiza, or Eivissa, as it's officially known, is only a few miles long, but its night life has grown into an international legend. Although the island is now famous for superclubs and deep house anthems, Ibiza holidays were popular with the bohemian crowd long before Pete Tong even smelled his first vinyl. The island possesses a gentle side; all the Balearic Islands are a visual treat, and rural Ibiza is stunning, its rarely explored landscape a photographer's paradise. The Spanish Tourist industry is working hard to promote more family-oriented tourism, and many couples are discovering the island's potential as a first-class wedding venue.
For a more traditional flavour, Menorca holidays provide a novel combination of classic Mediterranean with a hint of British colonial. Traces of the 18th century occupation are visible in the architecture and in the islanders' taste for gin. The locals are known their courtesy and hospitality, and their summer fiestas are charming. The entire island, home to a cluster of prehistoric monuments, is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. In the south, the island of Formentera, more secluded than its neighbours, is only accessible by boat from Ibiza. Although it has few cultural attractions, Formentera is flat and sandy with incredible, unblemished beaches, most of which permit nude sunbathing.
