Hotels in Formentera

Set just south of Ibiza and accessible from the party island itself or the Spanish mainland, Formentera is a gorgeously romantic and laid-back alternative.

The island can trace its first settlers back beyond the Romans, but it remains virtually unspoilt to this day. A mecca for hippies for decades, this bohemian spot really does have everything for a perfect break.

Getting to know Formentera

If you'd like to see more of Formentera, go on one of the many boat tours to explore the shoreline, remembering to keep your eyes peeled for the Martello Towers dotted around the coast.

You can also go subterranean and discover the stalagmites in the Xeroni cave, or get out on a bike and travel along the miles of cycle routes across the island. You may even come across some beautiful, traditional whitewashed churches like the Church of Sant Francesc Xavier along the way.
