Formentera is the smallest Balearic Island it’s 13 miles long, 35 miles squared, and is home to around seven thousand people. It’s by far one of the most beautiful places on earth. Set against a sky blue back drop it’s dusty little roads meander to some of the most amazing beaches you will ever see.
Formentera is a very small island, dwarfed by its close neighbor Ibiza, it is quiet and un-spoilt by tourism, though growing in popularity each year. It couldn’t be further away in atmosphere than Ibiza. You could easily imagine you were in the Caribbean.
You can catch the fast boat to the Island which departs every 2 hours from Ibiza arriving only 30 minutes later in. Once on the island you can see it’s many trees which include Sabina fig pine and palm. If you arrive by private boat (you can charter one cheaply from Ibiza) you will get to see it’s finest features the fantastic white beaches which seem to go on for ever.
It does not have an airport and is only accessible by sea and that’s how the “wet set” get there in super yachts and expensive boats. Many go to eat on the fashionable restaurants on the beach who’s prices are geared up to serve the super rich.
I can’t recommend this island highly enough to you. If you ever find yourself on Ibiza please make the effort to go. Go for it’s beaches it’s scenery it’s tranquility. I’d go between May and Oct and I’d stay clear of August – that’s when it gets too crowded.
and finally I’m not biased but one of the best ways to see the island is by private boat (not necessarily mine). There are many different kinds available for Charter in Ibiza and all at reasonable prices. Just ask your local friendly search engine.
