Formentera is one of the smallest and most peaceful islands of the Balearic archipelago, located in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Ibiza. Known for its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere, Formentera is an ideal destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy nature. Formentera is famous for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, which vary in shades of blue and turquoise. Some of the best known are Playa de Illetes, Playa de Llevant and Cala Saona, which are perfect for swimming, sunbathing and water sports.
The island boasts stunning natural scenery, including dunes, cliffs and fields of wild flowers. The Ses Salines Natural Park, which covers part of Formentera, is a protected area that is home to a rich biodiversity and is ideal for hiking and bird watching. Unlike other more crowded islands, Formentera offers a relaxed and tranquil atmosphere. There are no large resorts or crowds, allowing for a more intimate and serene experience. The island has a rich cultural heritage, with Mediterranean influences and tradition. You can explore charming villages such as Sant Francesc and La Savina, where you will find restaurants, shops and local markets. Formentera’s cuisine is delicious and varied, with an emphasis on fresh seafood and local ingredients. Typical dishes include ‘bullit de peix’ (a fish stew) and ‘ensalada payesa’ (traditional salad with local ingredients). Formentera is also a paradise for lovers of outdoor activities. You can go cycling, hiking, diving, paddle surfing and kayaking, exploring the coast and the island’s hidden corners. Although small, Formentera is easily accessible from Ibiza, with regular ferries connecting the two islands. This allows you to enjoy the tranquillity of Formentera while still being able to access the nightlife and activities of Ibiza.
In short, Formentera is an ideal destination for those seeking a natural retreat, with stunning beaches, a relaxed atmosphere and a rich local culture. It is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the Mediterranean.
Formentera is an island in high demand by those looking for an exclusive place to invest. The few properties available become luxury items due to their high demand. The authorities have very strict regulations regarding construction and urbanisation due to the need to preserve its natural and ecological landscape. This limits the amount of new development and therefore maintains the exclusivity of existing properties.
