Formentera is Spain's smallest Balearic island — just 83 km2, accessible only by ferry from Ibiza, with no airport and no nightlife. It is the antidote to everything Ibiza represents: Europe's clearest water, a laid-back cycling culture, minimal crowds, and a fiercely protected natural landscape. Each part of this flat island offers a different experience: the north has the most upmarket accommodation and the finest beaches, the centre has the authentic village feel, the south has long sandy beaches and a naturist tradition, and the east has quietness and craftsmanship. Choose your base according to your travel style.
