Things to do in Spain & the Balearics

From fun-filled fiestas to sangria-fuelled siestas, a villa holiday in Spain is a great way to enjoy the Mediterranean sun, sea, sand and so much more. Spain’s fine weather, varied terrain, and abundance of water are an invitation to outdoor enthusiasts. Walkers and hikers find terrific trails from Mallorca to Andalucía, and the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts beckon windsurfers, kite-boarders, and sailors. For keen swimmers, there’s an abundance of coastline to discover from our Spanish beach villas, or we offer a range of villas to rent with private pools, so you can stay active from the comfort of your own, luxurious home away from home in Spain. Meanwhile, family villas in Spain provide ample fun in the sun for parents and children of all ages, plus our range of large villas with lovely large pools, are perfect for groups of friends and families alike.

Things to do in Mallorca

Mallorca is home to some of our best family villas, close to the picturesque villages of Pollença, Alcudia and Campanet. Famous for its long stretches of sand, this island is a sun-worshippers paradise with lots of activities such as water skiing and snorkelling.   

Things to do in Menorca

Low-key Menorca offers a delightful location for rest and relaxation in beautiful surroundings. From charming fishing villages to endless sandy beaches, our villas in Menorca are located in excellent locations for beach holidays. Enjoy swimming in shallow waters, head out on the water in a pedalo or simply find the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset.

Eating and drinking in Spain

Traditional dining on a villa holiday in Spain means suckling pig roasted on the spit, jamón serrano (cured ham), paella and other rice dishes. Paella originated in Valencia, on the east coast of Spain, but there are varieties available all over the country using different local ingredients- take part in a paella class or observe a local chef. 

Spaniards’ love for tapas and tavern-hopping—the tapeo—is infectious, and a wonderful way to taste as many dishes as possible. You will still find pitchers of fruity sangria at seaside restaurants; but Spanish wines from Priorat to Jerez, are also some of the finest in the world. 

If you don’t fancy eating out every night, you can pick up a wealth of fresh, aromatic, local ingredients at the country’s wonderful food markets to cook up in your villa. Or indulge in our additional cook service – particularly ideal for holiday villas for large groups and families.

Our Villa Specialists can not only book your villa and cook, they can also arrange transfers, car hire and flights to Spain.
