Balearics
Pine coves, stone villages and salt still on your skin.
The Balearics work best when you skip the obvious rush: a calm cala in the morning, a village lunch inland, a boat afternoon when the sea is glassy. Mallorca, Menorca and Formentera each bring a different kind of ease.

Timing
When to go
June and September are the sweet spot for warm water, open restaurants and calmer roads. July and August are still beautiful, but the trip should lean into early beaches, late dinners and one settled base.
