destinations from Marina Port Vell

BALEARIC ISLANDS
The Balearic Islands, renowned for their stunning beaches and magnificent climate, are one of the top tourist destinations in Europe. Island-hopping between Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera is an adventure for all the senses.

Mallorca
Discover hidden coves and natural ocean treasures or venture into the magnificent countryside. Mallorca is a prime location for golf, and enthusiasts will find a wealth of top-class courses to enjoy beneath an azure sky. The island also hosts a variety of yachting events and regattas.

Ibiza
World famous for its nightlife, the island is also serenely beautiful with large areas that are registered as World Heritage Sites. Enjoy more than 50 white-sand beaches, great sightseeing and beautiful natural walks by day, then head out to the clubs to hear some of the best-known DJs from around the world.

Menorca
Perfect for enjoying nature, Menorca offers many ways to take in the magnificent scenery, from horseback excursions, to hiking, to air sports. The island's rugged coastline with rocky coves and inlets is a highlight, while the capital, Maó, with its attractive colonial architecture, is home to the world's second deepest natural harbour.

Formentera
The island of Formentera can only be reached by sea. Beautiful and unspoilt, it retains its unique Mediterranean feel.

COSTA BRAVA
The Costa Brava, beginning just 60km north of Barcelona, is among the Mediterranean's most beautiful coastlines. A diverse region of dramatic landscapes, it is dotted with traditional fishing villages. We recommend Tossa del Mar, Tamariu and Cadaqués - all worthy of serious exploration.

Tossa del Mar
Cliffs covered with dense pine woods meet the clear blue sea, creating a dramatic shore full of undiscovered coves. The village is home to an impressive castle, where elegant restaurants and friendly bars fill winding streets, all within the medieval walls.

Tamariu
With some of the purest waters on the coast, submarine caves and a submerged mountain, the tiny village of Tamariu is a popular dive site.

Cadaqués
Cadaqués is the penultimate resort before the French border and a scenic gem. Whitewashed houses, fishing boats on pebbled beaches and crystal waters come together to inspire and delight. The beauty of the village has attracted many artists and celebrities, most famously, Salvador Dali.
