Majorca
Minorca is a favourite because of its green blue sea, so warm and inviting &little coves.
Majorca
Menorca is very welcoming.
I adore Mallorca , in particular , Valldemossa . It’s a unspoilt village in the hills . A great retreat for artists and painters , back in the day . The only sound you will here , is the sound of church bells . . .Take me there .
For me it has to be Menorca because that’s where we went on honeymoon.
Menorca
I’ve been to Majorca a couple of times when I was younger but these days I’m a home bird.
Ibiza, ‘The White Island’ is my favourite. Brings back memories of family holidays.
Majorca! It has everything – beautiful beaches, mountains, historic buildings, vibrant Palma or quiet coastal villages – simply beautiful!
Ibiza
I’m not keen on touristy places and definitely no clubbing for me (at my age I’d probably do myself a mischief) but I’m told that Menorca has some really beautiful out of the way spots to visit
Minorca had a beautiful holiday there.
I’ve only been to Majorca – my 1st holiday abroad – in the early 1960’s. Lovely beaches, visited Palma, great food and drink.
I have never been to any of them, but a friend of mine went to Corfu and said it was beautiful. To be honest, all of them would make a wonderful adventure to visit!
I’ve been to Majorca its beautiful!

Corfu many happy memories there
I’ve never been but Formentera takes my fancy x
Menorca, it’s beautiful
My favourite Balearic Island is Ibiza. We had some wonderful family holidays there when I was a child. It was also where I learned to swim!
Majorca is beautiful and my favourite, can’t wait to go back
I’ve only been to Majorca twice as a young one to an 18-30 holiday! It wasn’t all booze as I love sightseeing so made the most of it. That was over 30 years ago!
I’d love to go to Menorca as it sounds more my cup of tea, peaceful and beautiful
It would be Menorca . It has everything . It can be both tranquil and full of activities.
My favourite is Menorca – many happy memories of holidays there when my children were young. Beautiful beaches, friendly people and very relaxing.
I love Majorca, particularly around Cala D’Or
Menorca a beautiful island full of memories for me!
Minorca
Only been to Minorca so will go with that
I love Menorca not just for it’s climate and beautiful coves dotted around but it is a perfect haven for relaxing and recharging the batteries. Flowers grow everywhere, so many different varieties and butterflies are in abundance. Life goes at a slower pace than the other Balariacs (although there is plenty of entertainment if you want it), the people are so very friendly and welcoming especially in the villages. It’s the place to drive a little, park up, then stroll, enjoying the peaceful ambience.
