Off the coast of Spain, the Balearic Islands are waiting for you to experience unforgettable moments with your family, your friends, or your lover.

Caves, cliffs, bays everywhere, creeks, verdant mountains, crystal-clear, cobalt-blue waters; all these rugged landscapes await you in this corner of paradise.
Majorca, the Largest Island
Located in the centre of the archipelago, Majorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands. It is sought after for its rugged scenery and the beaches of your dreams. Palma Bay is one of the most beautiful sites that you absolutely must see. But if you want to stake out a corner of the beach, avoid going there during the busiest season, which is from June to August.
During that period, all of the islands' resorts are invaded by hordes of tourists from around the world. Consequently, the best time to visit Majorca is from November to April. The prices are also lower then.

Many Spectacular Attractions
The almond blossoms of February are a sight to see in Ibiza, while flowers bloom all throughout the spring for you to admire. Each season has its special attractions, which makes Ibiza a unique destination to include without fail in your itinerary if you visit the Balearic Islands or, indeed, Spain.
Minorca and Monte Toro
The second largest peninsula of this destination will not disappoint you either, with its landscapes, sometimes covered with plains, sometimes punctuated by ravines and mountains.
