Mallorca and Ibiza need island-level planning as well as separate guides to Palma and Ibiza Town. Choose an island first, then decide whether the capital or a coastal base fits the trip.
Plan the region
Flight and ferry schedules shape island combinations. Public transport works best around the capitals and larger resorts, while remote coves and rural stays need more careful planning.
Destinations in Balearic Islands
- Mallorca: Mallorca is a large and varied island with a historic capital, mountain villages, family resorts, quiet inland towns and coves that require careful transport planning.
- Ibiza: Ibiza combines famous nightlife with quiet northern coves, inland villages, family beaches and a fortified capital that deserves separate city time.
Use the route planner to keep stops in a sensible travel corridor.
