Hire a car in the Balearics
The Balearics are timeless holiday islands with endless appeal.
There are four main Balearic Islands, though many people only know about three. With their great beaches, Mediterranean climate and cheap flights in, Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca attract millions of visitors from across the globe. The smallest of the bunch, Formentera, also boasts gorgeous stretches of golden sand, but has a very different appeal.
With 60 blue flag beaches between them, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding upon your holiday destination. All the islands are explored best with a car, from the tiny seaside villages of Ibiza to the snaking roads of the Tramuntana Mountains of Mallorca.
Balearic travel tips
Things to remember
The Balearic Islands are a great place to drive. The roads are quiet, the scenery is beautiful and there is lots to explore that you can only access by hiring a car. Here are a few travel tips to help you on your way.
Language
You may find that road signs and street names are in Catalan. This is all very well, but if you buy a map of one of the islands, it could very well be written in Castilian Spanish. Menorca’s capital is now referred to as Maó – older maps and signs could still call it Mahón.
Driving tip
Sometimes you may find that motorway traffic joins at the same place that cars exit. Keep your focus as this can be confusing and busy!
Parking
Some Spanish streets have unusual parking rules due to the narrowness of the roads. For half the month you can park on one side, and the other half you can park on the other. Signs will indicate the days.

Ibiza
The white isle
The clubbers’ capitals of the world needs no introduction. Undeniably famous for its party scene, epic DJs and their faithful followers flock to Ibiza each and every summer.
However, a great deal of history also finds itself on this pretty rock. If you are looking for culture, you can explore old towns, temples, baroque cathedrals and archaeological sites. Head to Ibiza Town to see hippy markets and feel edgy boho vibes.
Most see the sleepier side to Ibiza after the closing parties have come and gone. But find the right villages, secluded coves (having a car is the only real way to get to the most secretive ones) and nature trails all year round and it will feel like a different island than you might have expected.
The battle of the Balearics
The charming isle
Menorca
The most subdued of the three main islands, Menorca oozes rustic charm. If you like the peace and quiet and a bit of Spanish authenticity, then this could be the island for you.
With turquoise waters, sand coated coastlines and crowd-free coves, the beaches are a big Menorcan selling point. Try Cala Macarelleta and Playa de Son Bou for starters.
There’s a fair slice of history here too. From prehistoric sites evidencing ancient civilizations to medieval mazes, it’s a great island for a well-rounded trip without the crowds.
The loud isle
Mallorca
The queen of the party, Mallorca has a lot to offer. This makes it popular with tourists, and will please both the beach goers and the city break enthusiasts.
All ages enjoy Mallorca; it’s perfect for the family, the young couple and the party lovers.
From astonishingly pretty calas, to the world-away-from-the-resort mountain terrain, you will come away from Mallorca with some of your best snaps.
If you like to explore beyond the beaches, don’t miss Palma de Mallorca. A worthy capital, Palma boasts gorgeous Spanish neighbourhoods and traditional markets.
The little isle
Formentera
Just 20km wide, the baby Balearic of Formentera is so often overlooked. Lizards and rosemary grow in healthy supply here, and it offers up some of the most beautiful beaches Spain (some argue even the world).
Access this island by ferry after flying into one of the bigger islands (Ibiza is best) and explore the unexplored. The perfect day trip for those who want to experience a simpler life, explore near empty beaches and do a bit of snorkeling – the marine life can be exceptional.
Take a trip to Formentera and you’d be forgiven for thinking you were in the Maldives!
