Our expertly curated list includes sipping a G&T in Spain’s best cocktail bar, jumping off a vertiginous cliff, and devouring the most succulent deep-fried prawns in the Med.

Jump off a 10m-high cliff

Imagine standing on the edge of Mallorca’s Cala Varques cliff with nothing but thin air and a 14m-long drop into the Balearic Sea in front of you. Cliff-jumping is spectacularly life-affirming, and Cala Varques is one of the Balearics’ most beautiful and best spots to do just that.

Spot a pink flamingo

Ibiza’s Ses Salines nature reserve comprises shimmering salt pans, secret beaches, and pine-cloaked coastal cliffs. If the park’s otherworldly vistas and World Heritage Status haven’t convinced you to visit Ses Salines, then maybe the promise of seeing flamingos will do the trick­ — they gather in their hundreds!

Sink a G&T in Spain’s best cocktail bar

While any bar in Mallorca worth its juniper will offer you a decent G&T, Ginbo’s gin-based beverages take craft cocktails to another level. If your primary pursuits are sampling exquisite drinks and people-watching, you’ll love Ginbo (declared Spain’s best bar by FIBAR) and its lively location.

Marvel over a pastel-coloured sky

Visit Formentera’s Es Cap de Barbaria, the Balearics’ southernmost point, at the day’s end for a unique sensory reward. Feast your eyes on a captivating seascape (next stop Algeria!); and a sky lit into peach, lemon, and mauve, and all to the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs to boot.

Experience a cliffhanger, literally

If you’re seeking to tick off an activity that scares the heck out of you, then Deep Water Soloing is for you. Mallorca just so happens to be the Med’s best place to experience exhilarating traverses at water level, all with the brochure-blue Mediterranean Sea as your safety net.

Stop and smell the wildflowers

The 700-year-old Camí de Cavalls is a bridle path that covers Menorca’s entire coastline and goes right through S’Albufera de Grau, a Unesco biosphere reserve. Whether you’re into birds, butterflies, wildflowers, or hidden coves, every section of the path will leave a lasting impression.

Flap fins alongside a seahorse

From Punta Malgrats to Cap de Llebeig, seasoned scuba divers know there’s no shortage of excellent dive sites in Mallorca. However, the one that blows misconceptions about Med diving out of the water is El Toro. Descend and be dazzled by anything from scarlet scorpionfish to long-snouted seahorses.

Visit the world’s largest club

Given that it’s the world’s clubbing capital, it is no surprise that Ibiza comes into its own after sunset. Visiting perennial favourites like Hï Ibiza, star-studded and ­with a slide to the dance floor, or Privilege, officially the planet’s largest club, is an Ibiza must-do.

Pair deep-fried prawns with coastal views

Head to Restaurante Cap Roig in Menorca for a sea view that will leave you positively speechless. Fish is as fresh as can be here, and every single dish on the menu hits the spot. Try the deep-fried prawns — they’re so juicy you can eat them whole, head, tail, and all.
