Privacy and exclusivity are the key words in this secluded island that lies only 40 minutes away from Ibiza, its vibrant “big sister”. Formentera’s charm remains unspoiled, yet beautiful accommodation options have recently appeared, offering travelers a truly unforgettable holiday.
Formentera, the smallest of the Balearics, is one of those places where you could easily lose yourself forever. Turquoise, crystalline waters, long stretches of white, sandy beaches and a relaxing, chilled-out bohemian vibe; Formentera is often called “The Caribbean of the Balearics”, featuring some of the world’s best beaches and "barefoot luxury" was probably born there!
A scooter is all you need to discover the island’s natural and cultural wonders emerging at every curve. Walk on the soft, white sand at Es Pujols, admire the rock formations surging majestically from the translucent waters of Cala Saona or dive in the glittering turquoise sea that washes idyllic coves at Platja Migjorn.
Hike to the tallest and oldest lighthouse of La Mola, savor some delicious figs from the island’s peculiar fig trees that grow horizontally and discover the rich cultural heritage of Formentera, where the Romans, the Byzantines and the Moors have left their mark.
Coastal roads with heart-stopping views thread through tiny villages, where charming local life meets the hippie flair of the island. At the renowned hippie market of La Mola, outflowing with colors, you will feel the nostalgic vibes of the sixties.
Wander around the immaculate white houses of Sant Francesc, stopover for a cup of tea accompanied by Flaó, the delicious local cheesecake, sneak in Majoral, a boutique of Mediterranean inspired jewels and spend the afternoon at a beachside “chiringuito” where you will probably end up dancing barefoot with a gin & tonic.
When heading back to the harbour of La Savina, you might very well want to change your ferry tickets and stay more…
