The islands of Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca make up 'The Balearics' in the Mediterranean Sea. All three islands are popular with tourists, and offer a wealth of spectacular scenery, seemingly endless days of sunshine along with mile upon mile of beautiful golden sand. It is for these reasons that Spanish property in the Balearics has long been sought after by all types of buyer, from those looking for income generating property to homebuyers wanting to find a place in the sun.
Ibiza is the closest of the three islands to the Spanish mainland. Known as the party capital of the world, the island promises everything from an audible feast delivered by some of the world's top DJs, to a taste of traditional island life amongst the local inland communities.
Mallorca - the largest of the Balearics - is one of the top tourist destinations in Europe. More than 8 million people visit the island every year to enjoy the sun, sea, sand and energetic lifestyle on offer there, making the island the #1 choice for many a Balearic property investor.
The island of Menorca is the easternmost member of the group, and delivers a very different experience to either Ibiza or Mallorca. Whereas the other two islands are known for their lively atmosphere, Menorca is a haven of peace and tranquillity, and is most appealing to homebuyers looking for a villa in Spain in quiet surroundings. Menorca is also the cheapest island on which to buy Spanish property in the Balearics, being some 20% less expensive than similar Balearic property on Mallorca.
