Balearic Islands holiday apartments, homes and villas

Why choose a holiday home in Balearic Islands?

Pirates used these islands as a base to raid and plunder throughout the region. The locals are fully immersed in modern day but retain a tradition of courtesy, hospitality, and chivalry that charms visitors.

The Balearic Islands claim hundreds of exclusive recipes but their most famous creation from Mallorca is called Salsa Mahonesa. The rest of the world knows it by the more familiar name mayonnaise.

Minorca is the island to get away from the crowds. You can try the local dishes in romantic fishing ports near Fornells or the spectacle of stalagmites and stalactites in the cave Cueva Na Pulida.

Ibiza is a frenzied celebration where the nightlife starts in the afternoon. Thundering discos and party pubs are lined up like the beautiful people waiting at the doors. Street vendors with souvenirs and scents from restaurants mingle with the crowds deep into the night.

Nearly everyone who has ever visited the Balearic Islands makes plans to return. Each island is propelled by a distinctive personality that appeals to visitors from all over the world.

It may surprise you to learn that there are more airline passengers at the Palma de Mallorca airport than any other airport in any other city in Spain. Obviously, you may go for the beaches but there is much more to recommend each location.
