Summer is the perfect time to head out to sea. With long days, warm waters and the Mediterranean at its best, water sports are part of the holiday experience at Insotel Hotel Group hotels in Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca and Menorca. There are options for every level, from first-timers hopping on a kayak to those who already master sailing or windsurfing, all without having to leave the hotel to find the right gear and shoreline.
Ibiza: sailing, water skiing and diving in Cala Tarida
In Cala Tarida, one of the calmest and clearest bays on Ibiza's west coast, Insotel Tarida Beach Resort & Spa and Insotel Club Tarida Playa offer water skiing, surfing, windsurfing, sailing, catamaran sailing, canoeing and diving, with taster sessions and courses for all levels right from the shore. It's a wind-sheltered spot, ideal both for beginners and for those looking to perfect their technique in calm, easily accessible waters. Full details on rooms and offers are available on the official website of Insotel Tarida Beach Resort & Spa and Insotel Club Tarida Playa.
Formentera: kayaking, sailing and diving in Migjorn
On Migjorn beach, one of the longest and best-kept in Formentera, Insotel Hotel Formentera Playa is home to the South Formentera Beach Restaurant & Lounge, which includes its own sailing and diving school. Guests can practise kayaking, sailing, scuba diving, snorkelling and windsurfing in calm, crystal-clear waters, with instructors on hand for both first-timers stepping onto a board and those keen to explore the island's seabed.

Mallorca: kayaking and sailing in the bay of Cala Mandía
Next to the calm bay of Cala Mandía, in Porto Cristo, Insotel Cala Mandía Resort & Spa offers kayaking, sailing, windsurfing and diving in its shallow, crystal-clear waters, which are also perfect for families getting into these sports together. The sheltered nature of the cove and its gentle entry into the water make it a great starting point for children trying kayaking or sailing for the first time, always within sight of the shore. Full information is available on the official website of Insotel Cala Mandía Resort & Spa.
Menorca: windsurfing and diving in Punta Prima
In the southeast of the island, Insotel Punta Prima Resort & Spa and Insotel Punta Prima Prestige Suites & Spa offer windsurfing and diving just metres from Punta Prima beach, one of the best-known in southern Menorca for its calm waters and peaceful surroundings framed by pine woods. It's a convenient option for those who prefer to have their gear and the shoreline just steps from the hotel, without giving up an active day at sea. Check availability on the official website of Insotel Punta Prima Resort & Spa.
Whether you're taking up sailing, trying windsurfing for the first time or diving among crystal-clear seabeds, summer in the Balearic Islands is the perfect excuse to enjoy the sea without leaving the hotel.
