Four Mediterranean islands with different holiday styles.
The Balearic Islands lie off Spain's eastern coast. Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera each offer a different balance of towns, beaches and countryside. Mallorca has the largest range of landscapes and a city base in Palma; Menorca is known for its coves, while Ibiza and Formentera offer their own coastal settings. Choose the island before narrowing down the resort.

There are no current Balearic Islands offers on TripBuster. An independent travel expert can help you explore dates, hotels and a budget that works for you.
Summer is the main beach-holiday season, with warm weather and busy resorts. Spring and autumn can suit walking and cycling, but some accommodation and transport services operate seasonally. Winter visits need a closer check on what is open.
Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza have airports. Formentera is normally reached by ferry from Ibiza, so its journey requires an extra connection. Inter-island trips should be planned around the current ferry and flight timetables.
A resort name matters as much as the island: nightlife, gradients, beaches and local transport vary. Check the current sustainable tourism tax and any local visitor rules when comparing the total holiday cost.
