Holidays in Formentera

An introduction to Formentera

More people discover holidays to Formentera every year. Come and find out why.

Oddly enough, the tiny island of Formentera is popular with two different kinds of tourists – people who like everything neatly packaged up for them. And people who don't.

Your idea of a holiday is a beach so close it's practically in your bed. Activities to keep people entertained while you relax. And you don't want to lift a finger unless it's to apply more suntan lotion. Try the Hotel Riu La Mola or the Hotel Tahiti - right on the beach, keeping others busy snorkelling, windsurfing and sailing, while you unwind by the pool.

Not for you? Don't right off Formentera yet. This beautiful island is relatively untouched, with tourist towns concentrating around beaches like Es Pujols and Es Calo. For the most part, nudists, nature lovers and families soak up the natural beauty, traditional country lifestyle and tranquil atmosphere. Quiet white beaches like Playa Migjorn and the idyllic Playa Llevant stretch out for miles – heaven.

Travel to Formentera means a ferry from Ibiza - partly why it's stayed so quiet. Once there, you can't beat a bike for getting around. See the gorgeous scenery, go off the beaten track, and get a suntan at the same time. Don't miss La Mola, the dramatic cliff face and lighthouse at the highest edge of the island. A boat trip to Espalmador is a must for a mud bath in the lagoon. And a fiery fiesta is always a find.
