The Balearic Islands are a group of Spanish islands in the western Mediterranean Sea, close to the eastern coast of Spain. This archipelago includes four major islands: Menorca, Mallorca, Formentera, and Ibiza. These main islands, along with several smaller ones, are a popular tourist destination known for their beautiful beaches.
Es Grau is a great spot for nature lovers. Located near the Parque Natural de s’Albufera des Grau, it’s a quiet beach where you can see over 100 bird species and other wildlife with binoculars. The shallow waters make it perfect for snorkeling.
Cala Macarella beach, near the Cala Galdana resort, is one of the most picturesque spots on the island. It features turquoise waters surrounded by a beautiful cove. Though it can be crowded during peak season, it’s perfect for relaxing, swimming, and sailing. You can also enjoy a simple meal at Susy’s Chiringuito, a seafood restaurant on the beach.
Illetes, located to the south, is a secluded beach ideal for families, including those with children. It boasts fine, soft sand and a sea like a swimming pool. Here, you can enjoy various seaside activities such as watersports and snorkeling. There’s also the option to swim to a nearby smaller island. The beach has a kiosk where you can buy ice cream and bocadillos (a type of Spanish sandwich).
For those seeking adventure or solitude, Cala Varques is perfect. Surrounded by pine woods and steep hills, this beach features white sands and turquoise water. It’s accessible either on foot or by boat.
Illetes beach in Formentera is always bustling with activity. Known for its spectacular diving spots listed by UNESCO, it also offers windsurfing, kite-surfing, water-skiing, and sailing.
Benirrás Beach in northern Ibiza is famous for its unforgettable sunset views. The beach draws a mix of hippies and families, especially on weekends when people gather to watch the sunset and listen to local drummers play bongos.
Cala Jondal is the place to be if you want to party day and night while enjoying the beautiful sea views. It’s one of Spain’s liveliest beaches with frequent beach hangout parties. A popular spot here is the Swish Blue Marlin Beach Club, known for its delicious food, cocktails, and great music.
