Ibiza & Mallorca – The Beauty of the Balearics
A stunning archipelago of unique island paradises, the Balearic Islands are a hotspot for luxury travel, both in terms of temperature and popularity. In the peak of summer, when 30°C is the norm, every island is buzzing with excitement. Start your day venturing through the gorgeous hillsides and discovering traditional tapas in hidden gem restaurants. In the afternoon, join the locals in a seaside siesta with the waves as your soundtrack. Then, as the sun dips below the horizon, the nightlife in the Balearics takes centre stage.
Of course, with a stay in a luxury villa on the Balearics, it will be hard to tempt you away from the infinity pools and majestic views. But we recommend sampling every piece of culture that you can, whether it’s UNESCO sites like Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca or the Bohemian spirit of iconic beach bars in Ibiza.
