Four islands, four completely different souls. The Balearics stretch across the western Mediterranean — from the pounding clubs and cobalt coves of Ibiza to the unspoiled silence of Formentera, the Gothic grandeur of Palma to the dramatic cliffs of the Tramuntana — and reward those who explore beyond their beach towel.
Where to stay
seafront classics and polished stays
For the most memorable one-off stay, go with Cap Rocat — nothing else here matches the fortress setting and sense of arrival. For classic grand-hotel luxury in Mallorca, start with Grand Hotel Son Net. For a quieter Menorca escape, pick Hotel Torralbenc or Vestige Son Vell. For art, village life, and a softer old-Mallorca mood, choose La Residencia.
