A week sail around Menorca

Mahon is the capital of the island, and no charter will be complete without visiting this idyllic hotspot. Wander the streets and admire the Art Nouveau architecture around the cathedral and the magnificent views of the coast. The enormous port has drawn visitors and traders in for centuries. As a result, Mahon feels more open to the world than Ciutadella.

Majorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands and is loved for its sublime weather and beautiful beaches, boasting more than 200 to choose from. While the dramatic coastline of the island presents a myriad of spots to relax and unwind, the mountains offer an altogether different holiday experience. There you will discover picturesque hilltop villages amid lush landscapes; villages such as Valldemossa, Deia and Soller are outstanding settings and have lots of character and charm.

Nestled in the crook of the Badia de Palma, Mallorca’s capital is the most agreeable of all Mediterranean towns. Shaped and defined by the sea and backed by not-so- distant mountains, it is a city of open horizons and oft-blue skies, with good looks and a festive nature.

People go to Formentera simply to relax, spend time lazing on one of its strikingly beautiful beaches and bathing in its sparkling crystalline waters. It’s no surprise that Formentera’s beaches are regularly voted as Europe’s best, also ranking in the top ten worldwide.

Ibiza is a heavenly Mediterranean destination, a place where you can let your hair down and enjoy the laid-back hippy atmosphere of its fashion and street markets, chill out on a Bali bed next to the sea or watch the sunset surrounded by beautiful scenery. Ibiza is so authentic that it can combine the world’s most exciting nightlife with a UNESCO World Heritage town.

Dragonera was proclaimed a Natural Park on January 26, 1995. It became a model of the defence of nature in Majorca after 20 years of claims and fight against overdevelopment carried out by ecologist groups led by GOB. Throughout history, there have been many flourishing settlements in Dragonera. Its resources and secluded location made it a prime anchorage for the Saracen Pirates, once upon a time. Perhaps there is still some treasure waiting for you to discover it. The island is 2,88 hectares big and it is 3700 metres long with plenty of cosy beaches t unwind in. Vistors often hike up to the highest point, Far Vell hill (353 m), where they get awe-inspiring views of the nature reserve. On the west coast, there are spectacular cliffs that can be up to 300m high. The eastern part goes down smoothly towards coves and Cala Lledó port, where information on Sa Dragonera is displayed in the visitor’s centre.

The cruise to Port Vendres will take about half a day, so you will have plenty of time to reflect on the experiences you have had this past week. Be sure to spend a few hours in the morning playing on your yachts water toys before you make way to your final destination.
