Balearic Islands 7 Days: What to See & Do | Corsica Ferries

Narrative itinerary (7 days Balearic Islands – summer)

Day 1 – Arrival in Mallorca (Alcúdia)

You disembark and immediately slip into holiday mode: a walk along Alcúdia’s old walls, an ice cream by the harbor and your first sunset by the sea. If you still have energy, head to Playa de Muro: long, comfortable and perfect for everyone.


Day 2 – Mallorca “wow”

Morning on a scenic beach (like Es Trenc), then an afternoon among the Tramuntana landscapes: Valldemossa or Sóller, charming streets, mountain air and sea views. In the evening, Palma: alleys, illuminated cathedral and an easy dinner.


Day 3 – Route to Menorca

A slower pace begins: Menorca is all about “slow travel.” Arrive and enjoy Ciutadella at ease—harbor, old town, romantic atmosphere. Perfect for families: everything is human-scale.


Day 4 – Coves and nature in Menorca

A postcard day: a cove like Cala Mitjana or Macarella/Macarelleta (go early), turquoise water and pine forest. For something different, try a section of the Camí de Cavalls—even a short walk is worth it.


Day 5 – Ibiza, energy shift

Arrival in Ibiza brings a whole new vibe. Afternoon in Dalt Vila (incredible views) and an epic sunset evening: Sant Antoni / Cala Comte area. With friends, you can choose chill mode or dive into nightlife.


Day 6 – Formentera day trip (or 1 night)

The most “Caribbean” day: Ses Illetes, crystal-clear water and total relaxation. Rent a scooter or bike, loop the island, stop at Cala Saona and enjoy sunset at Cap de Barbaria (pure magic).


Day 7 – Last vibes

Back to Ibiza for one last beach morning (Ses Salines or a quieter cove), light shopping and departure with that thought: “Yep, I’ll do this again.”




Mini “vacation-saving” tips

  • If you want to do all 4 islands, keep transfers lean (2-2-2 + Formentera day trip).
  • With kids: Mallorca + Menorca (fewer transfers).
  • With friends: Ibiza + Formentera and a touch of Mallorca.
  • High season: famous beaches = early morning.



🎉 Summer events (quick list)

  • Menorca: Patron saint festivals with horses (top: Sant Joan in Ciutadella, late June)
  • Ibiza: Festes de la Terra (late July–mid August) + fireworks and concerts
  • Formentera: Sant Jaume (July 25) with events and town square celebrations
  • Mallorca: night markets, summer concerts, festivals and live events (especially June–August)

(Tell me the exact month and I’ll prepare a week-by-week event list.)




✅ Practical tips (super quick)

  • Car recommended in Mallorca/Menorca for coves and villages.
  • Scooter/bike ideal in Formentera.
  • Inter-island ferries: plan schedules and allow buffer time.
  • High season: book ferries, rentals and accommodation in advance.
