Formentera is the stunning little sister of Ibiza which is found just a short boat ride away, taking around 30 min from Ses Salines Beach (South Coast). Contrary to its elder sibling known for boisterous nightlife, Formentera has a totally different, tranquil vibe. There is a number of reasons why you should visit this bohemian island. Discover precisely why it’s worth adding to your bucket list for 2022.
Home to more than 20 km of broad white sandy sea shores, Formentera is genuine heaven and vision for beach lovers, with playa de Ses Illetes where you will even find a pink sand. Situated on the North side of the island, this one has a genuine Carribean feel and has been proclaimed as number six of the Europe’s best 10 beaches by Trip Advisor.

We might be biased, yet we believe Formentera is perhaps the most beautiful gems of the Balearic Islands. No place else in the Mediterranean zone you can discover such turquoise waters and pristine sea shores like similar to this island oasis. The island itself is rich in biodiversity, giving home to the environmentally significant Posidonia (sea grass), and a huge variety of bird species and majestic pine trees typical to the territory.
Mediterranean waters surrounding the beautiful Formentera are ideal for diving and underwater photography. Perfectly clear waters shroud a hidden world of superb seascapes with flora and fauna well worth discovering. The high visibility (up to 50 meters) is achieved thanks to the Posidonia meadows that help filter the water, improving the quality of the underwater explorations. The Formentera sea is home to many small animals including dolphins, fish, starfish, sea snails and much more.
The island is commonly considered a bohemian paradise ideal for a day-trip or even longer stay to rejuvenate in secluded sunshine. Formentera holds an unspoilt natural beauty that makes it the perfect getaway destination for all those needing a break from the modern world and its burgeoning commercial face.
