Balearic Islands Yacht Charter Guide

Over the past few decades, Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, has established itself as one of the Mediterranean’s most exclusive destinations. When you arrive, you will find that Mallorca is all about long, lazy lunches anchored in secret coves, ambling through ancient streets and finding yourself in the latest nightclub (should it take your fancy). Should you tire of picturesque ports, golden-sand beaches and rustic villages, then Palma, the island’s capital, offers a cool contrast from the quieter sides of the island.

Ibiza, meanwhile, has a bohemian attitude and is the perfect place to enjoy an alternative lifestyle. Ibiza Town is the place to go if you want to party like a free-spirited twenty-something. The island is stealing St. Tropez’s movers and shakers. A smattering of chi-chi beach bars and vibrant beach clubs dot the coastline — many of which appeal to those who prefer relaxing to raving. Ibiza also boasts some of the most inspiring dining establishments in the Mediterranean. While the island may have an amazing party scene, it also offers deserted bays and serene stretches of white sand where the loudest noise is the waves lapping the hull of your yacht. Alternatively, the tiny island of Formentera to the south of Ibiza is relatively peaceful, even during the peak summer months.

The lesser-known and often overlooked island of Menorca welcomes you to its beautiful interior, countless secluded coves and more miles of beaches than Ibiza and Formentera combined. This is the island you graduate to when feeling jaded from the party crowd on Ibiza or need some downtime away from the glamor and sophistication of Mallorca.

Whichever yacht you choose to explore Spain’s Balearic Islands, you can expect sun, sand and carefree nights (wild as you wish) the moment you embark on a superyacht charter around the Golden Isles.
