Getaway to Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera

Are you traveling to Mallorca and fancy a quick getaway to the rest of the Balearic archipelago? We tell you where and how

The Balearic Islands, that archipelago in the middle of the Mediterranean wrapped in magic, a paradise on earth surrounded by turquoise waters and unique beaches that teleport you to a state of peace and serenity. A physical and mental journey in a well-deserved vacation.

If your destination is the island of Mallorca, but you have time to jump to the neighboring islands, these are our recommendations.

Menorca is a peaceful corner where you can enjoy incredible virgin beaches where the vegetation becomes the protagonist, letting yourself be bathed by the waves and the rocking of the sea. You can get to the island from a ferry in Alcudia that leaves you in the beautiful and picturesque city of Ciutadella, a perfect place to get lost in its narrow streets and enjoy a summer dinner in the port.

For an express trip we highlight two obligatory stops: the small and delicious town of Binibeca, a haven surrounded by white houses that generate a characteristic landscape; and secondly, a beach that breathes life and harmony, Cala Pregonda. Of course, we recommend renting a car for your stay on the island, since there is only one road that connects the island from end to end, and the rest are secondary roads that invite you to get lost with a good list of music and enjoy the views.

Ibiza and its chic hippie atmosphere. A place that has captivated personalities from all over the world and that has a pure Mediterranean essence. The fastest way to get there is to take a plane Palma - Ibiza, rent a car and let yourself be carried away by the curves of the Ibizan coast. Here we highlight two coves that show the purest Ibiza: Cala Xuclar and Cala Compte, one more connected with nature and the other with the seal of the boho scene that you expect to find in this place, there you will find the Sunset Ashram, a beach bar to the most pure Ibizan style.

And if what you are looking for is to reach the most remote corner, Formentera is the place. You will need to catch a ferry from Ibiza, which takes an hour. You can explore the island by bicycle, although we recommend renting a motorcycle or a car. You cannot miss the kiosks on the beaches where you can enjoy the best sunsets, as well as visit Illetas beach and see how you arrive directly to paradise. And it is one of the best beaches in Spain according to Traveler magazine, it must be for a reason.
