The Balearics are the most popular and varied sailing area in the
western Mediterranean. Their attractiveness arises from the
contrast between the islands: Minorca and the tiny Cabrera are
original and wild, while Mallorca, Ibiza and Formentera have
enjoyed fame as holiday islands for years. Find out for yourself by
exploring them with aboard your [charter yacht]. Yet if you wish to
spend the holiday in relative seclusion , there is sufficient room
on a Mega yacht charter. This cruising area boasts a
great number of ports and anchorages, which often lie far away from
the bustle of mainstream tourism.
Of all the Balearic islands, Ibiza is closest to the mainland. It
has an extremely attractive landscape, with its pine, olive, and
almond groves and typical white houses. The capital Ibiza is the
pulsating heart of the island. Due to the invasion of partygoers
from all over the world, it really is a city that never sleeps.
The city lies on a rocky cape, which completely dominates the
harbor. The other two lively holiday towns on the island are Sant
Antoni de Portmany and Santa Eularia des Riu. In contrast, the
Northern coast is almost completely unspoiled and very thinly
populated. The coast is very steep and the absolutely wonderful
inlets are best reached by boat- why not your charter
yacht?
Mallorca is the largest Balearic island, and has a very varied
landscape. There are splendid mountainous regions in the north: the
Puig Major is the highest point in the Sierra de Tramontana
mountain range, which encompasses such picturesque towns as
Valdemossa, Sóller and Deia. The East coast has numerous harbors,
inlets and unspoiled beaches, and is thus the best sailing area,
simply awaiting your luxury yacht.
If you arrive in Palma by hire boat, you will be able to see the
most significant attractions of the city while sailing by: Bellver
Castle, La Llotja Castle, Almudaina Palace, the Museum of Mallorca
and the Arabian baths, all of with are attractive sights. The yacht
harbor is very close to the city centre of Palma de Mallorca, and
the international airport is just 9 km away. Steering into the
harbor is simple by day and night, and the harbor is ideal both to
supply the boat and for the crew.
