The Balearics Islands are an autonomous Spanish Island group near the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula. The islands that form the group; Ibiza and Formentera, Menorca, Mallorca, and Cabrera are widely known for their land-based activities but are growing increasingly popular as a sailing holiday destination as sailors discover their perfect mix of sailing holiday ingredients.

Clear waters, sandy beaches, lively harbours and craggy landscape, the Balearics possess a special lifestyle, entertainment and cuisine as varied and exciting as sailing in the islands themselves. Fly directly to our main base in Palma for a magical sailing holiday.
