Formentera

The smallest of the Balearic islands lies just south of Ibiza and is known for its very relaxed vibe. You can arrive in as little as 40 minutes by ferry from Ibiza and you will find a real island paradise, a place where time almost seems to stand still.

People go to Formentera simply to relax, spend time lazing on one of its strikingly beautiful beaches and bathing in its sparkling crystalline waters. It's no surprise that Formentera's beaches are regularly voted as Europe's best, also ranking in the top ten worldwide.

As much as Formentera is a top holiday destination it's also very popular for daytime excursions from Ibiza. It's easy to get around on a rented scooter or bike to explore the charming villages and beautiful beaches, followed by a stop to eat delicious Mediterranean food in one of the many excellent restaurants. It's a place you truly will find hard to leave behind.
