AllClear Travel Information for the Balearic Islands

Situated east of the Spanish mainland, the Balearic Islands are believed to have been first populated around 5000 BC and have held important strategic trade positions for the likes of the Phonecians, the Carthaginians and later the Romans. The Islands form an archipelago of four main larger islands and many smaller islands and islets. Tourism since the 1950s has brought great prosperity to the islands and has thus led to the lifestyle and quality of life in the Balearics amongst the best in Spain.

An autonomous group of Islands, the relationship with the mainland is healthy and has been helped by the huge popularity and economy brought into Spain through holidaymakers in the Balearics. The four main larger islands are made up of Majorca (Mallorca), Menorca (Minorca), Ibiza and Formentera.

• Majorca / Mallorca – Named by the Greeks as “The Larger One” Majorca is the biggest of the Balearic Islands and a hugely popular destination for tourists. You will always find lots of Brits in Majorca! Please visit our Majorca destination page.
• Menorca / Minorca – Named by the Greeks as “The Smaller One”, Minorca is however not the smallest of the main Islands. Well-known for its outstanding megalithic stone monuments and a great number of archaeological discoveries, Menorca is hugely popular with tourists and offers a huge variety of activities and holiday choices.
• Ibiza – Famed for its hugely popular nightlife, Ibiza has hosted world-famous DJs and music acts from all corners of the Earth and has been a firm favourite with British partygoers and holidaymakers for years. Recent developments in Ibiza have seen the authorities aiming for a more family-orientated appeal to the island so Ibiza may be attracting a different kind of traveller in years to come.
• Formentera – The smallest of the larger islands. The island has no airport and can be accessed only via boat or ferry via one of the larger main islands.
• Smaller Islands and Islets – Up to 151 of the smaller islands are inhabited in the Balearics so, should you venture to, you can take a day trip out and explore many of the wonderful islands and local communities.

The Balearic Islands offer a myriad of different holiday choices in a beautiful Mediterranean climate from hotel resorts and long days by the pool, to golf holidays and days of pure adventure with exploration and discovery. The Balearic Islands can be enjoyed over weeks or even months and we want you to enjoy your time away feeling safe in the security of having a comprehensive travel insurance policy to protect you should the unexpected happen.

Speaking the Language in the Balearic Islands

You will find slight variations of dialect around the various islands, all however, deeply rooted in the Catalan strand of the Spanish language. If you are visiting the most popular islands, however, you will not find it hard to converse in English with most staff and holiday makers alike as the huge popularity of the Islands to the Brits has arguably made English a second language on the main islands.
