The Balearic Islands: a natural treasure
Reconnect with nature and lose track of time in the protected natural areas of our islands
The Balearic Islands are an oasis in the Mediterranean and a paradise for lovers of nature and active tourism. Its seas have helped protect the flora and fauna of the four islands and their residents, who are fully aware of its importance, have been able to protect and coexist with their natural environment.
The beauty of its natural spaces and also their ecological importance have been recognised by international organisations: Minorca has been a Biosphere Reserve since 1993, while the Cabrera archipelago in Majorca is a National Park and the waters of Ibiza and Formentera are home to a treasure trove of posidonia, protected by UNESCO since 1999.
That's why the Balearic Islands are a favourite refuge for visitors who want to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with silence and nature. Here is a selection of the protected natural spaces where you can lose track of time.
