Formentera Island
The Last Paradise of the Mediterranean
Formentera
Formentera is known as the last paradise of the Mediterranean for its ability to balance tourism with environmental protection.
The efforts of several generations of local residents have made it possible to preserve an island whose beaches, crystal-clear waters and mild climate turn it into a true gem of the Mare Nostrum.
Formentera can only be reached by boat from Ibiza. This limited access has helped keep the island peaceful, making it a perfect place to escape stress and overcrowding.
The island can be enjoyed at a slow pace, cycling along its paths or swimming in more than 20 kilometres of white sandy beaches and exceptionally clear waters, ideal for all kinds of water sports.
The Island Is Alive
The secret behind Formentera’s crystal-clear sea and long beaches, which set it apart from the rest of the Mediterranean, lies in the posidonia meadows that surround the island. This underwater ecosystem acts as a natural filter, purifying the water and allowing sand to settle along the coastline. A true underwater forest, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.
The island can be enjoyed at a gentle pace, cycling along its paths or swimming in more than 20 kilometres of white sandy beaches with exceptionally clear waters, ideal for all kinds of water sports.
The island’s tourism success, cherished by both residents and visitors, comes from the fact that people still find something truly different in Formentera. That difference is defined by respect for nature, the preservation of local culture, and a shared vision of exclusivity achieved through environmental protection.
Other defining features of Formentera are its sense of freedom and its unique light. Since the 1970s, these qualities have attracted artists and craftspeople who are now part of the island’s cultural identity. Their work, from fashion and accessories to jewellery and art, remains one of Formentera’s most distinctive and enduring attractions.
