The islands of Ibiza and Formentera are close to one another, making the route one of the most popular ones in the Balearics. Respectively, the islands of Mallorca and Menorca are also close to each other.

The 2 pairs of islands are connected through the Mallorca - Ibiza and Mallorca - Formentera ferry routes. As Menorca is directly connected to Mallorca only, we recommend either starting your island-hopping excursion from there or leaving it for the end. Visiting Menorca in the middle of your journey may require indirect ferry routes with layovers.
