Palma de Mallorca – Olbia · 22 August – 1 September 2026

Ibiza's motto is ""live and let live"". Artists, hedonists and the international jet set discovered the beauty of this Balearic island many years ago. The little island's character has a Moorish influence, which has given it the pseudonym of ""the white island"". The tidy old quarter in Ibiza Town, surrounded by huge fortified walls, has been carefully restored and, like the entire island, is under the protection of UNESCO. In contrast, the spectacular, sometimes wildly rugged island coastline with its innumerable bays and beaches shows the traditional side of Ibiza. The primordial backdrop is one of gentle hills cris-crossed with a scattering of fincas.

Mahôn, the island's capital, has the largest natural harbor in the Mediterranean. The harbor of the former capital, Ciutadella, which translates as "tiny little town", has a picturesque setting on a fjord-like bay. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and you will be enchanted by the narrow lanes in the old town, the majestic squares and the smart promenades. Menorca naturally has two sides – in the north is the wild mountain region of Tramuntana, with its ruggedly craggy coastline and hidden bays. In the south there are gentle hills with wide plains and seemingly endless sandy beaches. Listed as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, Majorca's little sister is considerably quieter and more traditional.

Climbing the rigging, untying ropes, setting sails – today is all about sailing. Time to lean back and relax in the deck chair and watch the passionate crew hoisting the sails by hand.

A beautiful beachside promenade and, on a headland, the old town of Alghero which sits defiantly behind thick fortifications. Alghero is something very special. Many buildings and squares in the charming old town were built when it was ruled by the Catalans and some of the inhabitants still speak a dialect of Catalan today. That's why the town is also lovingly known as "Little Barcelona". Grand palaces, numerous churches and towers, winding lanes and lively squares with snug bars and restaurants transport you into the Middle Ages with a Catalan-Gothic character.

With its soft, white sandy beaches and turquoise blue sea, the dreamlike Costa Smeralda in northeastern Sardinia has been attracting the international jet set for around 60 years. Karim Aga Khan was one of the first to fall in love with the Emerald Coast in the early 1960s and founded the glamorous Porto Cervo as a glamorous destination for wealthy guests. An elegant little town with luxury villas and a large marina was created around a piazzetta where exclusive restaurants and bars are lined up – still today a perfect playground for the rich and beautiful from all over the world.

The majestic-looking little town of Ajaccio sits in a beautiful bay on the south of the island. Its Mediterranean atmosphere evokes the Côte d’Azur, but with a typically Corsican character. Napoleon Bonaparte was born in Ajaccio and the great Corsican is still present everywhere today. One of Napoleon's uncles bequeathed his art collection to the town and you can now view this in one of the museums.

Olbia, a Mediterranean gem, captivates with ancient grandeur and contemporary allure. The historic ruins of Castello di Pedres narrate a fascinating tale, while beaches like Pittulongu entice with their crystal-clear waters. The city's vibrant ambiance and culinary diversity, coupled with the surrounding natural beauty, render Olbia an enchanting destination, offering both cultural immersion and beachfront bliss.
