THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN THE BALEARICS
Holidays in the Balearic Islands tend to centre around the beach. But there's plenty to do besides swimming and sunbathing. Boat trips, water sports, hiking, horse riding, sightseeing, golf, shopping, and water parks are all available depending on where you stay.
Nightlife across the Balearics varies greatly. Ibiza is synonymous with clubbing thanks to world-famous venues. In Majorca, Magaluf and Palma Nova are the party hotspots. Elsewhere on the island, the pace of life is slower and more suited to couples and families. Menorca has a good choice of bars in its larger resorts, but these tend to be more family-orientated and don't attract crowds of young revellers.
FOOD AND DRINK IN THE BALEARIC ISLANDS
Thanks to their popularity with British holidaymakers, the Balearic Islands are overflowing with international eateries. With resorts serving up everything from a hearty cooked breakfast to a traditional roast dinner, you’re never far from the flavours of home.
Traditional dishes vary from island to island. Each takes inspiration from Mediterranean dishes with the slightest Catalonian and Valencian influence. But all have a distinctive Balearic stamp of flavour. From tasty Ensaimades and Sobrassada to seafood and vegetable stews. Whether you prefer sweet or savoury, there’s plenty to satisfy everyone’s tastes.
