Overview
Formentera is the smallest and most pristine of the Balearic Islands - a flat, sun-bleached paradise just 30 minutes by boat from Ibiza. Its beaches, particularly Ses Illetes and Playa de Migjorn, are consistently ranked among the best in Europe, with water so clear and turquoise it rivals the Maldives. The island has deliberately resisted mass tourism, maintaining a laid-back, bohemian atmosphere with no high-rise hotels and strict building regulations. For yacht charter guests, Formentera offers the ultimate escape - anchor in shallow, crystal-clear waters, wade ashore to pristine beaches, and dine at barefoot restaurants where fresh fish is grilled over open flames.
Highlights
Shallow waters around Formentera can be choppy in strong winds. The passage between Ibiza and Formentera (Es Freus) requires care. Generally calm in summer.
