Which islands in the Balearics?

Hi there,

We're planning our next September vacation for 10 days. We're thinking of going to the Balearic Islands but we're torn between Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza. And most importantly, which areas should we avoid and which should we prioritize, for example in Mallorca? We want to steer clear of places that are too crowded and too urbanized, and we'll be getting around by rental car.

Is it possible to visit two islands in 10 days with a ferry transfer?

Thanks for your tips!

We want to avoid places that are too crowded and too urbanized, and we’ll be getting around by rental car.

At that point, you shouldn’t go to the Balearics—you’ll quickly realize it’s a very touristy destination 😛 It’s like asking which spots to avoid in Saint-Tropez in the summer...

However, on the island of Mallorca, there are some "deserted" spots with varied terrain in the wilder northern part of the island.

Hi there,

For a bit of a simplified comparison, Ibiza is the most festive, Mallorca is the most family-friendly, and Menorca is the wildest. Yes, ferries connect the islands. You could spend 5 days in Mallorca and 5 days in Menorca. In both cases, you’ll find quiet spots if you have a rental car.

Yeah, why not.👍
