Situated 4 nautical miles South of Ibiza, Formentera is an exceptionally beautiful island surrounded by pristine beaches. Amongst its most beautiful stretches of sand, we recommend the small beach of Cala Saona, the beach of Es Pujols or Migjorn beach which covers a large part of the Southern area of the island.

This little sister of Ibiza is perfect for families looking for peace and privacy, away from the famous nightlife of Ibiza. Quiet and secluded beaches where you can enjoy unique moments with your family. To enjoy the island in peace, it is best to opt for the periods between mid-April and mid-June or from September to November. Discover this elegant, magical spot, its stunning beaches, quaint villages and lush nature, all wrapped in the glistening waters of the Mediterranean.

What best highlights the authentic beauty of this lauded Mediterranean paradise, is the Posidonia marine forest encircling it. This herbarium, which plays a role as the surrounding sea’s natural purifier, is registered in the UNESCO World Heritage since 1999.

Activities to do on Spain's hidden gem

Although small in size, there is a great deal to see and do on this splendid island. On Formentera you can enjoy a truly incredible view from the Faro de la Mola, located on a cliff at 100 metres above sea level. At the lighthouse of Cabo de Barbería, you can take a seat and watch the sun gently disappear into the waters - a totally unique experience. A few metres from this lighthouse, there is a fascinating cave for you to explore. Discover the perfect way to enjoy a different view of the island and the crystal clear waters of the surrounding sea. And if you want to snorkel, then you can do so on one of the very best beaches: Caló de Sant Agustí. Or why not take up the opportunity to try kayaking around the bays and hidden coves of this splendid island? Enjoy a completely new experience during your luxury stay on the island of Formentera.
