Although August is well underway there is still availability to escape to the sun of the Balearics this season. For those that are still undecided on where to visit here are the top ten reasons to visit the Balearic Islands!
300 Days of Sun
With 300 days of sun the Balearic Islands are just a short hop for guaranteed sunshine! If the temperamental British August is too much to handle just a two hour flight will transport holidaymakers to a different world of blue skies and warm seas!
Beaches
Whilst beaches throughout the whole of the Balearics are amongst the best in the Mediterranean and the World, there are some that are special highlights. In Ibiza there is Salines, which is part of the national park in the South of the island. In Menorca Cala Pregonda, which is without doubt one of the jewels of Menorca, is a beautiful bay with crisp light sand, crystal blue waters all backed by pine and tamarisk woods. In Formentera the multi award winning Playa Illetes is popular and for those seeking out a quiet and peaceful retreat in Mallorca Es Trenc is ideal.

Rafa Nadal Campaign to Boost UK Tourists
Rafael Nadal will front a campaign to make the Balearic Islands first choice for holidaymakers interested in sports and events tourism.
The tennis ace – a native of the islands – is currently fronting a campaign for the Balearics focusing on their traditional offering of sun and beach.
However, the islands are keen to diversify their product after seeing UK arrivals drop by 12% so far this year.
Managing director Susanna Sciacovelli of the Balearics Tourist Office said:
“It is very important to spread travel across the seasons and we want to be top of mind for golf and meetings so we can increase the number of tourists across the year.”
She said that extra funds were being diverted into tourism promotion specifically targeting the UK, Ibiza, Menorca and Majorcas biggest source market.
These will include campaigns and promotions highlighting the islands’ easy access from the UK, short flight times and excellent infrastructure, in terms of conference facilities and golf courses.
Spain and the Balearics in particular have suffered badly due to the economic downturn and the poor value of the pound versus the euro.
