Escape to the
Balearic Islands

Badalona is a great base for yachts wishing to explore the Balearic Islands of Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera. Just a day's sail away, these beautiful islands offer plenty of secluded calas to explore with crystal clear waters and golden sandy beaches, creating perfect anchorages for a spot of lunch or overnight stay. With so many to choose from, you can find your own little piece of heaven, away from the crowds, where you can relax and unwind in complete seclusion. Or, if you want to join in with the party, head to larger resorts to soak up some lively Balearic beats on the beach.

Sa Calobra, Mallorca
Sa Calobra is a little cove on the northwest coast of Mallorca. Cut into the steep mountainous coastline at the end of the Torrent de Pareis, this deep anchorage is one of Mallorca's most stunning natural landscapes, so well worth a visit. The waters are unbelievably clear, making it a great spot for swimming and snorkelling, and a pretty pebble beach emerges from a narrow opening in the rock face.

Cala Jondal Beach, Ibiza
Cala Jondal Beach is popular amongst the rich and famous for its upmarket facilities, but it also attracts young families and couples looking for some luxurious beach time fun. The bright turquoise waters are lined by a glistening pebble beach, and the lush pine tree forests and steep red cliffs create a spectacular setting.

Bahia de Fornells, Menorca
The Bay of Fornells is a large area of sheltered water accessed by a narrow entranceway to the north of Menorca. With calm waters, whatever the wind direction, Fornells is a great place to explore all year round, and there are lots of places to anchor or pick up mooring buoys. At 5 km long and 2 km wide, there is plenty to see and do, including lots of watersports such as kayaking, windsurfing, dinghy sailing and diving.

Playa Cavall d'en Borras, Formentera
Found on the northeast coast of Formentera, Playa Cavall d'en Borras is a gorgeous stretch of white sand, lined with dunes and pine trees. A bit quieter than larger beach resorts, head here for a spot of swimming in the shallow aquamarine waters and enjoy the relaxing beach bar vibes at a beach-side restaurant.
