10 Things to do in Balearic Islands That You Shouldn't Miss

July 1, 2021 Matilde Konrad

The brightest stars of Los Baleares are Majorca, Ibiza and peaceful Minorca. Situated between France and Africa, the archipelago's islands each have distinct characters. Majorca is the most developed and offers a mass of hotels, fast food joints and crowded beaches. Ibiza is loved by a hard partying set, including many gay visitors. It is also increasingly popular with upscale travelers, drawn by the chameleon island's reputation as "the new Provence." Pick an island and stake a claim on its sand.

Majorka was for me very underestimate destination - I thought that this island is only for beach loafers. That was really big mistake! This was our second trip only on foot and I can recommend it to everyone who is not beginner and who has some experiences. We went from Sant Elm to Soller (+- 85 km), track was hard because of bad rainy weather, so it was dangerous - dry stones changed to wet and every step was like going on soap floor. There was no chance how to finished GR221, even bus from Lluc was stopped because of wheater. So we moved to San Picaford (eastern coast) and there we started GR 222, which is no less beautiful and wheater there was better (+- 55 km). People there are pleasant, nature very very beautiful, food excellent, accommodation very various in comfort and also prices, we tried everything from sleeping outside to 4* superb hotel - each way was magnificent. Thumbs up for Majorka :)

Dalt Vila

Reviewed By 186sheilag

Dalt Villa was really the main point on our list to visit when we arrived in April, due to it being low season and not expecting too much to be open. Parking was extremely difficult so I can't imagine what it would be like when the town is really busy in the summer. We ended up driving out of town with a 10.minute walk back. Even that was difficult to find a space. The old town is full of atmosphere, lots of little alleyways with cobbled streets, tiny shops, cafes and restaurants situated in the plazas. The weather was superb which made it even more pleasant to walk around and up to the Castle overlooking the harbour and the coastline. Definitely a must to see as a visitor.

Cala Macarelleta

Reviewed By W7045EDlaurenm

This is an absolutely beautiful beach which is surrounded by pine forests and has crystal clear blue sea. The beach is also very clean and well-kept and it had a very calm and relaxed feel. It is advisable to drive to the beach and be warned that the carpark has a limited amount of space and once it's full, they don't let any more cars in, so to guarantee getting in it's best to aim to arrive by 9.15am (I know it's an early wake up but it's worth it). it is a 25 minute walk through pine forests from the carpark to Cala Macarella which is also beautiful but larger and less secluded. To get to Cala Macaraletta, it is a 5-10 minute walk up and down the adjacent cliff (there is a clear and relatively safe path) which has some amazing views of both beaches from the top. There is also a friendly and funny man who makes freshly-made mojitos (classic or with raspberries and blueberries) at the corner of the beach which are 7 euros each and were some of the most delicious mojitos I've ever had. They are well worth trying! All in all,if you want a day at a beautiful beach, this should definitely be on your itinerary.

Got a great deal with our TUI reps so got unlimited rides for €27 for adults €20 for the kids. Got a taxi from Santa Ponsa for only €9 so was cheap there was loads for the kids to go on so they were very happy,crazy golf took ages because there were so many people playing but was 18 holes and a laugh. There is a soft play area for the kids they are given a vest with a number on the staff take your number so you can leave them for an hour and a half in a safe environment so you can enjoy the sun and a drink with partner that was cool. I don’t recommend the snack shack food wasn’t very nice bit expensive and cold. All in all we had a good day and when you go In the crazy house there is a fab photographer to take your picture and they are good €7 each,gift shop is a tad expensive we picked up 2 teddy’s of the main attraction for €64 but they are memories to keep forever.
