Mediterranean Island Hopping: Mallorca & Ibiza

Two very different islands, with yacht days, beach clubs, island makers, and a day on Formentera's white sand. Mallorca brings mountains, old crafts, and quiet coves, while Ibiza adds Dalt Vila, the sunset at Es Vedrà, and an easy hop to Formentera. Four nights on Mallorca and four on Ibiza, split between the water, the beach clubs, and the workshops of island makers.

BACK TO ALL

Day 1

Arrival in Mallorca

Check in to a hotel booked exclusively for the group in the Serra de Tramuntana, the mountain range along Mallorca's northwest coast. Dinner that first night leans on island produce: tumbet, sobrassada drizzled with honey, and a bottle or two from Binissalem, Mallorca's best-known wine area. The hotel sits among olive and orange groves, with the mountains rising straight up behind it.

Day 2

A Private Yacht on the Tramuntana Coast

Board a private yacht in Port de Sóller and sail a coastline of sheer cliffs and coves that are hard to reach by land. Stop to swim, paddleboard, and snorkel, with lunch served on deck, then head back as the light turns gold for an easy night in Sóller. The captain knows which coves stay calm when the wind picks up, so the stops change with the weather.

Day 3

Mallorca's Makers

Head inland to meet the people keeping Mallorca's crafts alive. At a family-run weaving mill, roba de llengües, the island's traditional "cloth of tongues," comes off the looms. Next is a glassblowing workshop where pieces are shaped straight from the furnace, and you can try it yourself. Lunch is at a village restaurant serving what Mallorcans actually eat at home. The llengües pattern, a flame-like zigzag, has been woven on the island for centuries and turns up on cushions and curtains in homes all over Mallorca.

Day 4

Valldemossa and the Beach Club

Valldemossa comes first, the mountain village where Chopin spent a winter in the monastery, with a stop for coca de patata, the local potato bun, still warm. By early afternoon you're on a south-coast beach club lounger, with lunch by the water and nowhere else to be. Valldemossa's lanes are lined with potted plants, and many front doors carry a small tile of the island's saint, Catalina Thomàs.

Day 5

To Ibiza

A short hop to Ibiza and your second hotel, also yours alone. At sunset, the cliffs facing Es Vedrà, the rocky islet off the southwest coast, are the spot for a glass of hierbas ibicencas, the island's herbal liqueur, as the sun goes down behind it. Hierbas ibicencas is made from local herbs like rosemary, thyme, and fennel, and every family seems to have its own version.

Day 6

The Other Ibiza

Dalt Vila, the walled old town above the harbor, fills the morning, led by a guide who knows its history. Later, drive north to Ibiza's quieter side for a craft market (depending on the day) and dinner at a farmhouse restaurant among pines and almond trees. The farmhouse cooks with what grows around it, so expect sofrit pagès, Ibiza's hearty country stew, if it's on the menu that night.

Day 7

Formentera by Boat

A private boat crosses to Formentera, the small island just south of Ibiza, known for some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean. Ses Illetes and its white sand set the pace: swimming, a long beachside lunch, and bikes for exploring before the ride back. The island is small and mostly flat, which makes the bikes an easy way to find a quieter stretch of sand.

Day 8

Beach Club and Last Night

One more full afternoon at an Ibiza beach club, with nothing planned beyond lunch and the sea. The group's last dinner together on the island closes out the trip. Dinner is at a restaurant facing the water, with a table kept for the group as long as the conversation lasts.

Day 9

Departure

Breakfast by the pool or a final swim, then transfers to Ibiza airport. Ibiza's airport is a short drive from most of the island, so there's no need to leave early.

Day 10

Departure

A relaxed final morning before heading to the airport, with time for one last coffee or swim depending on flight timing. The trip closes the way it opened, unhurried, with nothing left to check off the list.
