Day 1

Palma

Begin your journey in Palma, the vibrant capital known for its impressive Gothic cathedral, meandering cobbled streets in the old town, and a selection of Michelin-starred restaurants and scenic waterfront bars. Next, set sail to the tranquil Cabrera archipelago, a pristine National Maritime Park.

Day 2

Ibiza

Explore the historic streets of Ibiza Old Town, where ancient white-washed buildings and lively plazas invite you to enjoy tapas and wine amidst vibrant people-watching scenes. Spend your afternoon shopping for unique local artisan crafts and clothing, or relax on one of the many pristine white sand beaches nearby. As evening falls, savor sunset drinks at the harbor. Ibiza’s nightlife is legendary for its energy and dance scenes, but the Old Town offers a sophisticated alternative with upscale bars and restaurants where locals and celebrities often mingle.

Day 3

Formentera

Set sail to Formentera, an idyllic island renowned for its spectacular beaches, featuring perfect white sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters. This peaceful haven is celebrated not only for its natural beauty but also for its restorative qualities, captivating figures from Jimi Hendrix to Madonna and Leonardo DiCaprio with its enchanting allure. For a unique experience, indulge in a therapeutic mud bath at the hot springs on the nearby island of Espalmador, or enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the local beach clubs, which offer dancing on the sand both day and night.

Day 4

Es Vedra

Cruise along Ibiza’s southern coast and anchor beneath the towering Es Vedra, a nearly 400-meter-high uninhabited rock island famous for its appearance as Bali Hai in the 1958 film “South Pacific.” Known as one of the globe’s most magnetic spots—surpassed only by the North Pole and the Bermuda Triangle—Es Vedra is enveloped in myths and legends. Experience its mystical charm as you snorkel around its base, exploring the enchanting underwater world. Afterwards, head ashore for a delightful paella meal at Es Boldado.

Day 5

Mallorca

Leave Ibiza early in the morning and set course for Mallorca, where you’ll enjoy a day filled with water sports in the bays near Port Andratx. This charming fishing village doubles as one of Mallorca’s most sophisticated resorts, favored by the yachting community and celebrities whose luxurious villas dot the hillside. Port Andratx boasts a bustling fishing industry that supports the local restaurants. With one of the most beautiful harbors on the island, ending your day with sundowners at a waterside bar or restaurant is a must. Just 5 km up the valley, the historic village of Andratx, nestled among orange groves and almond trees, offers a serene getaway. Yachts can anchor in the bay or dock at the Yacht Club.

Day 6

Puerto Soller

Drop anchor in the scenic bay of Puerto Soller and enjoy the renowned Soller prawns at one of the local beachside eateries. Take a ride on the vintage electric tram that travels from the harbor to the mountainous town of Soller. This town features a bustling center with a 16th-century church and cobbled streets lined with lively cafés and restaurants. Nearby, explore the picturesque village of Deià, known for the famous La Residencia Hotel, previously owned by Richard Branson, and the World Heritage town of Valldemossa. Valldemossa is notable for its Moorish terraces and pale stone houses, which dramatically contrast with the bright blue sky. This town gained notoriety from the infamous winter when Chopin and his lover Madame George Sand sought refuge there to escape the gossip of Paris.

Day 7

Pollenca

Discover the tranquil coves around Formentor and Pollenca, ideal for a serene anchorage. You can spend your day engaging in various water sports, or choose to go ashore for a round of golf or a hike into the mountains to capture breathtaking views of the dramatic coastline. The ancient town of Pollenca, established in 123 BC by the Romans, retains an authentic feel, mostly populated by locals. To truly immerse yourself in the local culture, join in the café culture. Choose a café in the town square, order a café con leche and a slice of ensaimada—Mallorca’s famed pastry—and enjoy a relaxing day soaking in the authentic island atmosphere.

Day 8

Menorca

Set sail to the serene island of Menorca, known for its rolling hills and a countryside that evokes an English landscape. It’s a common sight to see shepherds guiding their flocks across this pastoral setting. Spend your day relaxing or swimming in the crystal-clear waters surrounding Cala Algaiarens, which features two medium-sized golden sandy beaches divided by a large cove, and the smaller, enchanting Cala Morell, distinguished by whitewashed houses clinging to the cliffs. Both locations offer a peaceful retreat. For those with a keen interest in culture and history, the beautiful port city of Ciutadella is just a short journey away, promising a rich exploration of its heritage.

Day 9

Mahon

Mahon, also known as Maó, is perched on a ridge overlooking a deep inlet that forms the largest natural harbor in the Mediterranean. The town’s architecture showcases the influence of 18th-century British occupation, featuring elegant bow-fronted houses and sash windows. Mahon is also famous for producing Xoriguer gin, a key ingredient in Pomada, a local cocktail made with homemade lemonade. The town’s numerous pavement cafés create a delightful setting for embracing the relaxed Menorcan lifestyle. Additionally, Mahon is renowned for its shoe production, providing the perfect opportunity to shop for quality footwear directly from factory stores before your departure from the island.
