How about a trip to Spain Balearic Islands

The Balearics are essentially comprised of 4 islands; Ibiza, Majorca (Mallorca), Menorca and Formentera and are one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations.  So, that means their beaches and bars are chock-full of people clammering for space then?  Erm, no, not necessarily, certainly not all the time nor everywhere. 

Ibiza’s bar scene is legendary and the island can get exceptionally busy in the height of summer, especially around San Antonio and Ibiza Town. Away from there though, the island can be quiet with rolling hills inland and quaint little villages dotted around coastal regions.  This mantra is true for Majorca too, where the large towns can and do get busy at the height of summer, but the rest of the island has some cracking little coves and secluded beaches to escape the crowds, some lovely little hilltop towns and fabulous scenery, all set under the warming Mediterranean sun.
Menorca, the 3rd largest of the islands is quieter and more favoured for family holidays and those looking for a more relaxed and easy-going vacation.  If unspoilt beaches, seaside towns serving delicious food, chilled bars and restaurants, hilly terrain, and little hidden beaches are your thing, then Menorca is exactly what you’re looking for!
If however, you really want to experience the Balearics for what they were 40 or 50 years ago, Formentera is your best bet. This has pros and cons. Aside from the very height of summer, the island is very peaceful and longs walks can often find you meeting only local farmers or the odd tourist. The downside is there is very limited infrastructure here to cater for tourism, hotels and apartments are more basic than the rest of the islands and although beautiful and unspoilt, the island lacks the diversity of the others in the chain. For a couple of nights away, Formentera is bliss, but for a week or more, you’ll probably want one of the larger islands
