Look Forward To A Mallorca Yacht Charter In 2021
As this difficult year comes to a close, the idea of a sunny escape seems even more tantalising than usual. Travel restrictions may be in force at the moment, but we are optimistic that with the COVID-19 vaccine rollout already underway in the UK and set to follow across the globe, late spring and summer 2021 will be a lot more promising. Booking your shared yacht ownership vacation now - before the rush - will afford you a choice of the finest yachts available.
One holiday destination that truly offers something for everyone - the world’s best superclubs, secluded white and golden sand beaches, fascinating historic landmarks, quiet nature spots and vibrant local culture - is the Balearic Islands. So why not plan a Mallorca yacht charter for 2021, being sure to also pay a visit to the enchanting islands of Menorca, Formentera and Ibiza too? Let us tempt you below…
What to do on a Balearic & Mallorca yacht charter in 2021
Dance the night away in Ibiza
With most nightlife having been cancelled since March this year, we are expecting 2021 to be a big year for partying. Many are predicting that the Ibiza opening parties - which usually start in late May - will start even earlier if they can, making up for the lost year we’ve just had. And you can bet that club owners are going to have some truly incredible events planned to make their return iconic.
Whether you wish to hit up the big superclubs, such as Amnesia, Pacha, or Privilege, or are looking for more under-the-radar venues like Underground or Pikes, your yacht crew can recommend some of the best places to let your hair down! At the end of the night, remember to stay up to watch that famous sunrise on Playa d’en Bossa - this will be an evening you’ll never forget.
Cycle through untouched nature in Formentera
Your next stop when sailing the Balearic Islands should be Formentera, where life moves at a much slower pace and locals will embrace you as one of their own. The best way to explore this dreamy island is by bike, which you can rent at the marina. Follow the Circuitos Verdes cycling route to discover pristine beaches, or to get breathtaking views over all of Formentera, head southeast to the village of Pilar de la Mola, the highest point of the island.
While here don’t miss the Ses Salines Natural Park. Located at the tip of Formentera, it has salt marshes, wetlands and a marine reserve and is home to numerous species of birds including flamingos and peregrines.
Fine dining & historical monuments in Mallorca
Mallorca is home to no less than nine Michelin star restaurants, and there is no reason not to try each one of them! Some are based in the vibrant capital of Palma, such as Adrián Quetglas, which serves up fine dining at great prices and is famed for its sublime tasting menus, and Marc Fosh, where healthy Mediterranean cuisine is presented in an exciting format. However, there are also plenty of Michelin star restaurants for those venturing out of the capital - our pick would be VORO in Canyamel, where you can expect an eleven or fifteen-course tasting menu.
Also not to be missed on a Mallorca yacht charter in 2021 is Bellver Castle - a stunning 14th-century royal fortress. The impressive circular castle has a central courtyard surrounded by 3 towers. Come here to explore the history, and stay for the beautiful views over Palma Bay.
Stunning beaches & watersports in Menorca
Your final stop when sailing the Balearic Islands should be chilled-out Menorca, where you can spend the last few days of your trip enjoying the crystal clear waters! Authentic, laidback and stunning to behold, this island feels completely different from Mallorca, despite the fact that it takes just over an hour to reach by yacht.
Menorca is home to 99 beaches, making it a fantastic spot to soak up the sun. Cala Macarelleta is one of the best if you seek somewhere off the beaten track, with its idyllic white sands, turquoise waters, and surrounding pine trees. Better known but still beautiful are Cala Galdana and Cala Pregonda. If you want to have a more active holiday, try kayaking along Menorca’s south-west coast, stopping off at the spooky yet intriguing Dragons Cave or snorkelling in secluded coves.
