Often referred to as the “last paradise of the Mediterranean,” Formentera is the smallest of the Balearic Islands, prized for its translucent waters and untouched landscapes. Accessible only by ferry from Ibiza, it has managed to retain a tranquil, bohemian spirit that’s hard to find elsewhere. Its white sand beaches — like Ses Illetes and Cala Saona — rival those of the Caribbean, and the island’s salt flats, dunes, and protected marine areas make it a UNESCO-designated ecological treasure. Cyclists and walkers love the green routes that crisscross the island, revealing secret coves and rural paths.
Despite its relaxed vibe, Formentera offers excellent local cuisine, artisan markets, and boutique accommodations. The absence of airports and big resorts helps preserve its peaceful character, making it a unique destination for people who value privacy, authenticity, and nature. It’s perfect for a second home that serves as a true escape — one that encourages slowing down and reconnecting with the essentials.
