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.
Already before you arrive to the port you will see the wonderful
beaches . Formentera is the only town-hall of the island, but there are
several villages:
La Sabina, with the only port, and those typical white-washed houses.
Las Salinas, at the narrowest part of the island, offers landscapes of
unique beauty.
In the interior there is San Francisco Javier, a concentration of white
houses around a fortificated church.
San Fernando is located in the midst of large pine woods which end at the
beach of Es Pujols in the North and at the beach of Mitjorn in the South.
Other recommendable beaches are En Boster, Ca'n Xico Mateu and the
impressive natural port of Es Caló
The road to La Mola, located at the very South-East of the island, leads
us up to 193 meters above sea level. From the view-point El Mirador you
may enjoy an outstanding panorama. In the village itsself you may visit
the beautiful church Iglesia del Pilar.
Formentera's western part offers untouched nature. The perhaps most
beautiful beach is Cala Saona.
