Formentera
Soak up the rays in blissful solitude
For a chilled out day after the excitement of the night before, Formentera has the cure for every hangover and need for a break. Just a short distance away from its noisy neighbor, Formentera is also a popular destination in the Balearics for a more toned down kind of holiday.
With miles and miles of luscious sandy beaches, you can enjoy a peaceful morning soaking up the warm Spanish rays. For a beach with sublime beauty, head to the Trucadors Beach, for white sands and turquoise waters on either side of the sands.
After some beachcombing and a dip or two in the water, there isn't a huge amount of exploring to do on the island but there is a small selection of Martello towers to see. These small coastal forts would have once held up to 25 men and a piece of artillery. Still mostly intact, these are a small historic site to see but just enough to indulge your cultural curiosity.
Spend the rest of your day on the waves with your jet skis or enjoy some quiet time on the decking with some Spanish cuisine and locally produced wine.
- Day 4
Andratx
A day of cultural pursuits
As a municipality of Mallorca, Andratx is nestled into the southeastern corner of the main island and features some of the most staggering scenery that the island has to offer.

Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch in one of the local cafes before heading up towards the northern region of Andratx. Moving north of the settlements you will find a lot less people and a lot more mountains. Ideal with a guide, you can see various towns across the islands and you may even be able to see some of the observation towers which were built in the 1600s. A total of 12 still stand, out of the 14 towers erected in the area, built to watch out for pirates and other invading parties.
Finish off the day as you please and get back to the yacht in time to enjoy a spectacular sunset from your own private viewing platform.
- Day 5
Puerto Soller
A great place for bird lovers

- Day 6
Puerto Pollença
A charming way to round off your trip

Palma
Vibrant, stylish & intimate, yet bursting with life
On your last day of your luxury yacht charter vacation in the Balearics, you return to where you started at Palma. Before starting your return journey home, make the most of this bustling location by seeing some of the cultural sights you won't see anywhere else.
Start off with a quick visit to La Seu. A vast cathedral which was actually built over a mosque, this building took over 350 years to complete and is definitely not to be missed. Moving around behind the cathedral you can visit the old town which displays an array of different styles of architecture with some generous nods to an Arab background.
Another stop to make before leaving the city is the 11th century Arab Baths.
