Living the high life in the Balearic Islands

In Ibiza, the lively resort of Playa d’en Bossa is lined with plush hotels, swanky restaurants and is home to legendary clubs like Space – making it the ideal spot for those who want to be in the heart of the action. For something a little quieter, further north up the coast Santa Eulalia offers a more laid-back lifestyle, where you can spend your days walking along the palm-fringed promenade and exclusive yacht marina, browsing art galleries or eating in some of the island’s best restaurants.

The popular resort of Paguera in Majorca presents a trio of Blue Flag beaches flanked by deluxe All Inclusive hotels, a seafront promenade and designer boutiques at Bulevar de Paguera. Slightly further along the coast, Palma Nova, offers award-winning beaches and an ideal location next to the vibrant capital, Palma, where you’ll find an abundance of chic eateries, cobbled streets and upmarket shopping boulevards.

In Menorca, holiday spots like Binibeca promise a more traditional Spanish atmosphere away from the crowds, with pretty whitewashed buildings, calm beaches and a picturesque harbour where you can enjoy a quiet drink with an outstanding view.
