The Roughest Guide to Formentera

Formentera is the smallest Balearic Island it's 13 miles long, 35 miles squared, and is home to around seven thousand people. It's by far one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

Formentera is only a stone throw away from Ibiza, but the white beaches and the turquoise sea give you this relaxed magic Caribbean feeling. It's like being in another world. A world where you can get away from the madness that can sometimes consume Ibiza.

Formentera island is a relatively flat island with windy dusty lanes, lined with fincas, and many breeds of trees including Sabina, fig, palm, and pine trees. One of it's finest features are it's beaches that stretch for miles - some have sea on both sides!

Formentera is very popular with the glitterati and the 'wet set'so make sure you bring your camera. They prefer to eat at the beach restaurants where Lobster can be as expensive as 150 a plate. I heard rumor that a lot of the sea food is imported from Scotland!

I can't recommend this island highly enough to you. If you ever find yourself on Ibiza please make the effort to go. Go for it's beaches it's scenery it's tranquility. I'd go between May and Oct and I'd stay clear of August - that's when it gets too crowded.

and finally I'm not biased but one of the best ways to see the island is by private boat. There are many different kinds available for Charter in Ibiza and all at reasonable prices. Just ask your local friendly search engine.
