Spanish Villa Holidays - Holiday Villas in the Balearic Islands

Menorca, Mallorca and Ibiza holiday villas

The Balearic Islands lie off the east coast of Spain and offer everything from fashionable night life and busy beach resorts to secluded coves and isolated farmhouses. You'll love your holiday villa in the Balearics. This is a destination where a little independent exploration is rewarded with the discovery of some real hidden gems. The main island, Mallorca, delivers dramatic mountain scenery and spectacular touring through the Sierra Tramuntana. Book your Mallorca holiday villa and follow the coast road as it plunges steeply down to the resort of Andratx, an exclusive hideout for celebrities. And the capital, Palma, rivals the great cities of the mainland with its cathedral, fine buildings and atmospheric Old Town.

Menorca's interior is green and rural. Much of the coastline is unspoilt with undeveloped beached and secluded bathing. Ibiza town offers high octane night life, but most of the Old Town is untouched. Olives, figs and almonds are grown here and the food has a lot in common the mainland. Book a holiday villa in Ibiza for food with a Catalan character. Try grilled fish served with mayonnaise, which Menorca claims to have invented. Tumbet is a casserole of peppers, potato and tomato and sobrassada is a spicy black sausage from Mallorca, also famed for ensaimadas, sweet pastries. Local attractions? Book a holiday villa in the Balearic Islands for Palma harbour and Cathedral, Mallorca's spectacular coast. Ibiza old town, secluded beaches on Cap Cavalleria plus Menorca's Maò and Ciutadella.
