Formentera, a 5-star destination

Balearic Islands are an ideal holiday destination for all kinds of visitors. In this case I am going to tell you about Formentera, the smallest of the islands, but at the same time the one with great facilities for a few days of rest. 
It’s a little more than 80km2and you can cross it from end to end in just half an hour. A huge natural heritage, with scenery, lighthouses and beaches that you will never forget.  

San Francesc Xavier is the capital of Formentera and is home to the island’s urban core and numerous institutional buildings, a few shops, highly recommended restaurants and a relaxed and authentic atmosphere.

Without disturbing the peacefulness of the island, this town on the north coast is home to the most atmosphere. In Es Pujols, days on the beach end with a walk alongside the sea in an area with restaurants, bars and a lively market along the seafront that brings life to the summer nights. It has small stalls where you can buy souvenirs, summer clothes and accessories, paintings and ceramics.

If there is one thing that stands out about Formentera, it’s the clarity of its waters. First thing in the morning you should ask the local people where the wind blows from and they will advise you to go to one side of the island or the other.

It is one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe and the world, although it is actually a collection of three: ses Xalanes, ses Illetes and Platja de Llevant. The most amazing thing about Ses Illetes are the calm waters with an incredible turquoise color and white sand. If you want to take home with you a book of photos of your holiday, get your cameras ready!

Cala Saona is a very special place thanks to the only sandy beach in the southwest of the island. It is nestled by cliffs and measures only 140 meters in length, although it is quite wide. Enjoy one of the best sunsets in Formentera on this beach alongside calm waters with a stunning range of shades of blue.

We should visit the south coast of Migjorn when the wind is from the north or east. Discover more than 5km of white-sand beaches with crystal-clear waters. This is the longest beach in Formentera and is made up of several sandy coves which are perfect for visiting with the family.

A small cove with areas of white sand interspersed with rock formations. Wedged between low cliffs and dotted with several fishermen’s huts where they can store boats and utensils. Be prepared with water and some food as there are no services and you have to walk for about 15 minutes. It’s well worth the effort. 

The global fame that the hippie movement brought to Formentera in the 1960s and 1970s also attracted young artists, musicians and artisans who took up residence on the island and planted the seeds of everything they created at their own pace. hands. Markets are still held in Formentera to this day and this handicraft tradition continues.

El Pilar de la Mola is the most hippie town on the island.  It is at this point that the movement based on peace and love became more permanent and brings the town to life with its craft market. Don’t forget to visit the most famous hippie market in Formentera every Wednesday and Sunday afternoon from May to October. Visitors can see works of art and handicrafts such as baskets, jewellery, dresses and other handicrafts. A pleasant walk that is usually accompanied by live music.

Who has not imagined enjoying a mojito with your feet in the sand and the sea in the background? Just like its beaches, Formentera’s beach bars are one of the top attractions for tourists who want to combine unique scenery and relaxation with great cuisine and great music.  

This is the most famous beach club on the island, and that’s no surprise. Fun, music, the beach and delicious dishes that everyone will love during their holiday in Formentera. Visited by celebrities from all over the world, this hotel is located on Cavall d'en Borràs beach and has one of the best sunsets on the island.

Red and white, decorated in hippie style and with "Formentera" on the ceiling, this is an image that does not go unnoticed. The beach bar is in Es Pujols and we recommend you book to enjoy its terrace and Mediterranean dishes. chill-out and small shop to buy souvenirsis highly recommended.

One of the most important things to take into account when visiting a holiday destination is the accommodation.
