The climate of the Balearics is Mediterranean, with mild winters and hot summers.

Rainfall is rare during summer months, with most rain occurring in winter months.

The best time to visit is in the summer. But, if you’re planning on hiking, you may want to wait until the winter and for cooler temperatures. The temperatures range from 7 to 23 degrees in winter; and 15 to 30 degrees in summer.

In early 2018, a small tsunami hit the Balearic Islands. There were no injuries or deaths and there are no travel restrictions.

The Balearics are safe for travellers with pick-pocketing being the most common crime.

If a crime occurs whilst travelling, remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime.

The Balearic Islands are known for their seasides and life of leisure. It is also known for its extravagant party life, especially in Ibiza. In fact, Ibiza itself claims it is the clubbing capital of the world.

If you want to party in Ibiza, travel to the Balearic Islands during the summer months. If you would rather have a quiet holiday, come during the winter months where only a few clubs are open.

During the summer, the seasides are also busy and popular among tourists. Further into the island, the terrain is hilly and known for hiking.

If you are planning to go out clubbing in Ibiza, always practice safety. Never go out alone, keep an eye on your drink, watch your bartender pour your drink, and don’t walk around alone at night.
