Balearic Islands

Mallorca and Menorca, two islands that evoke sunshine and relaxation. In the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, the Balearic Islands, located off the east coast of Spain, combine authenticity and serenity.

Mallorca is the most densely populated island but has lost none of its historic charm, while Menorca reveals itself to be peaceful and wild with its classified biosphere reserve. Both offer you their translucent waters and deserted coves where you can relax after a swim in the sea or a sightseeing tour. By lingering there, preferably leaving the coast for the hinterland, you will discover a uniquely friendly and welcoming atmosphere and creative and invested locals who will be delighted to share with you their rich artisanal heritage.
