The Experience

The day starts with pickup at your hotel and a transfer to Ciutadella port. Once aboard, the boat sails for an hour along the south coast, passing the unspoilt beaches you came to see. The first stop is free time to swim; the second stop is where lunch happens on the boat — a mixed paella with sangria or soft drinks — so you eat without leaving the water behind. After lunch, another cove opens up for swimming before the boat turns back toward port around 4:30 pm.

A live guide travels with the group and speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and one additional language. The boat holds a small group, which means the coves stay uncrowded and the pace stays unhurried. Two hours of swimming time across the stops gives you real space to explore the water and the beach instead of rushing through a checklist.

The return journey takes you back to Ciutadella port, where coaches wait to drive you to your hotel. No separate transport to arrange, no timing to coordinate — the whole day is built as one piece.
