This small island, with a surface of 90 squ.km. and some 5200 inhabitants, is located 11 miles from the south-eastern coast of Ibiza. The sea is visible from practically any point of the island, and there are numerous great beaches and lonely bays, some of them with incredible grottos.
Its favorised climate, with springtime temperatures during almost all the year, its rich vegetation of pines as well as palms, and its quiet and relaxed ambience make Formentera a true paradise.

Formentera is just a short boat trip from Ibiza, but a long way apart in mood and appeal. It's basically a bohemian retreat from the holiday crowds.

Once you get there, the island seems flat, and a little like two islands joined by a narrow sand dune strip.

Its appeal takes a while to sink in. You'll find just one town, Sant Francesc, and a few villages, but the long uncrowded sandy beaches and unspoilt atmosphere make it an unusual find in the Mediterranean.
