Mallorca, Spain

Stunning! That’s a word that comes to mind as you cruise through the Balearic islands on a luxurious chartered yacht on a yacht charter in the Balearic Islands of Spain.

Cala D hort Beach Of Ibiza

The Balearic Islands consist of five islands off the coast of Spain: Menorca, Mallorca, Ibiza, Formentera, and the tiny island of Cabrera. Memorable and amazing adventures await, including all of the water-based delights. Snorkeling in the clear waters off of Mallorca will take you to another fascinating world.

Ibiza’s Famous Sunset

Ibiza Town in Spain is often thought of as just a port to stop in on your luxury yacht charter for a night of clubbing and dancing. But there’s actually a quieter and more traditional side of Ibiza worth exploring on a private yacht charter in the Balearic Islands. A large portion of Ibiza is actually a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, and there are many beautiful villages, beaches, and anchorages to explore.

Visit the Pink Lake and Natural Spa of Las Salinas de Torrevieja on Your Next Private Yacht Charter

Las Salinas. Salt lake of Torrevieja

Tucked away in Valencia, Spain is the natural park of Las Salinas de Torrevieja—a gorgeous pink-water lake-one of the most impressive natural parks of Valencia, and not to be missed on a private yacht charter along the Spanish Costa del Azahar. The natural phenomenon of rose-tinted water is possible thanks to the archaeas (a micro-organism) and dunaliellas (micro-seaweeds) found in the lake giving the entire lake its pink-colored hue and the pink to the color of the feathers of the local lamingos that dine on these micro-organisms.. Adding to the “wow” factor are the huge mountains of salt piled high along the shore line gathered from the lake that has been sold for centuries. Be sure to pick up some natural Torrevieja salt for yourself.

Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Spain

The Balearic isle of Ibiza is a play in contradictions. Renowned for the heady nightlife that doesn’t stop until the sun begins to rise, this is one of the best places on earth for good dance music and EDM. Visitors may be surprised, however, to find an easygoing family-friendly atmosphere here. It is an ideal place for a crewed yacht charter (not to mention sunny, festive, and gorgeous).

Famous Ibiza Sunset

Ibiza boasts a long history of hippie culture dating back to the 1960s. You can find lovely markets selling all manner of Bohemian handmade arts and crafts. Head to the beaches for crystal-clear waters, or spend the day hiking or biking all over the island. There is shipwreck scuba diving and kayaking through sea caves and small inlets. Private yacht charter is truly the perfect vehicle for reaching the most remote, quiet corners of Ibiza. And don’t forget the rest of the Balearic Islands, all reachable on a private yacht charter starting in Ibiza, including Mallorca, Menorca, and Formentera. If you want to discover more than just the hot nightlife, this is another solid guide for first-time visitors. Bon voyage!

Menorca

The Balearic Islands have a reputation for taking their young, beautiful, tanned visitors from daytime on the beach to nighttime in the clubs with very little sleep in between.

Beautiful Harbor in Mallorca, Spain

In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, four islands beckon travelers to indulge in a sun-soaked Spanish adventure. Menorca, Mallorca, Ibiza, and Formentera are dream destinations for the private yacht charter enthusiast. Seeing the Balearics is on the bucket list of any sailors worth their salt; read more here about the world-famous regattas and picturesque ports.

For island-hopping in style, there is no better way to visit the Balearics than on your own private chartered yacht. Ibiza offers hedonistic pleasures with dancing from sundown to sunrise . . . but the rest of the island along with Menorca, Mallorca, and Formentera offer so much more. On Mallorca, select the catch of the day from smiling fishermen in the harbor and have it grilled to order in La Llotja, the old fish market in Old Town. Dance until dawn in Formentera and take a refreshing dip in an aqua cove before getting some rest.
