For more than a million years, distinct cultures and traditions have been formed on the Iberian Peninsula. The imposing Pyrenees Mountains separates the region from France, and the history and culture has evolved to create different styles of flavourful food and wine, and unique art. We love to share with you the Insider Villas in the Iberian Peninsula including its Balearic Islands.
The largest (major) of all the Balearic Islands features a diverse environmental offering from beaches to mountains, wine country to valleys, water reservoirs to pristine hidden caves to the reason Mallorca is so important to not only its group of islands but also to Spain, as Palma de Mallorca is the jewel of the crown. The island features a summer residence of the Spanish monarchs but is also home to a million residents and many visitors who call this place home part of the year. All areas are different looking and feel different to one another, making it impossible to visit the entire island in one holiday. Villas in our collection range from ultra popular South West to the mountain towns of Valldemossa, Deia, Soller, the north of Alcudia and Pollense famously popular for its longest beaches and historical charming Roman influenced towns. The East is home to many a calita (enclaves) that allow that privacy and space, mostly accessible by sea. The south / east is home to the coastline from Porto Cristo to Santanyi and the outskirts of Palma are also rich in history and beaches.
Menorca is the most family-oriented, picturesque and tranquil of the Balearic Islands. The capital, Mahon, is on a bluff overlooking a large harbour, with Georgian mansions and a church with 13th-century roots. A good highway links Mahón with the older town of Ciutadella (the former capital) on the opposite side of the island. Ciudadela is home to a cathedral, partly dating from the 14th century, and also boasts several elegant palaces and medieval churches.
The island has water parks, water sports, cycling and hiking routes, golf, fishing and much more for those wanting a more active holiday. It is blessed with around 46 sandy beaches, plus a few rocky and pebbly beaches, many of which are beautiful small, deserted coves.
Perhaps best known for its lively, cosmopolitan, hedonistic vibe, Ibiza also boasts privileged natural surroundings and a great cultural heritage. Combined with plenty of gastronomic hotspots and mouth-watering food offerings, this island is a wonderful place to retreat away with a bohemian flair.
Formentera is smallest of the Balearic Islands, seeminly connected to Ibiza by its short stray across the water ways. Also known as the Mediterranean’s other Carribean island, it is mainly a holiday destination where very few claim to be natives of this small 2 x 20 km (83km2) island. Featuring the most beautiful crystalline waters and white powder sandy beaches in Spain, it’s the favorite spot for those who cannot be bothered about who’s who and what’s what! Luxury lays in the bare feet and as little clothing as possible. Only accessible by sea (ferry or private charter), it is the best way to arrive to the main port of of La Savina or to the restaurant of your choice.
Embark on an experience like no other. Discover the best of Spain’s overlooked heritage, where time stops and life becomes art. Follow the Don Quixote route through the region, get lost in the medieval streets of Villanueva de los Infantes, enjoy Almagro’s International Classical Theatre Festival, and moreover explore the prehistoric settlement of Motilla del Azuer. Castilla-La Mancha offers endless opportunities for adventure in addition to several authentic cultural experiences.
