Formentera’s allure lies in its unique beauty, a blend of simplicity, peace, and harmony with nature. With unspoiled landscapes, sun-kissed paths, and crystalline waters, the island beckons soul-seekers to reconnect with nature and their inner selves.

“Small islands are geographically pleasing, appealing to a human disposition towards ‘containedness.' It is possible to visualize, in satisfying detail, the coastline of an island, to know where it begins and ends, to picture where you are spatially at a given point in time.”

Pam Allen

There are no airports here. No sprawling resorts. No traffic jams or fast lanes. Formentera moves at the pace of nature—waves lapping against soft white shores, almond trees swaying in the breeze, and time unfolding like a gentle breath. 

The Sacred simplicity

Visitors and residents are content with an uncomplicated, healthy lifestyle. Cycling or walking along the excellent cycle paths and well-marked hiking trails is the most popular form of transport. Formentera is all about being.

The island has long attracted artists, bohemians, and spiritual wanderers. There’s something soothing about the land—its silence, its rawness—that awakens an ancient memory, a sense of home within oneself. Here, you'll find more than just crystalline waters and powdery sand. You'll find space—space to hear your thoughts, feel your body, and tune in to what often gets drowned out in everyday life.

A Spiritual Undercurrent

There's no shortage of yoga retreats, holistic hideaways, or cliffside meditations. But Formentera's true magic doesn't require a mat or a mantra. It's in the act of doing less. It's in watching the Cap de Barbaria lighthouse sunset, sipping herbal tea under the stars, or cycling through sleepy villages and feeling completely alive.

And then there is the island's raw beaches, where naturism is widely and enthusiastically practiced.

Platja de ses Illetes, on the northwestern coast, is considered one of the most beautiful in the Med. However, this fame attracts day trippers from Ibiza and superyachts.

On the other side, Platja de Llevant is the official naturist beach. It is a long, broad sandy beach backed by sand dunes and trees, stretching nearly 5 km from the island of Espalmador in the north to Es Pujol in the south.

Es Trucadors, north of both Illetes and Llevant, is a strip of land that offers solitude away from the crowds, especially in high season. More secluded and not easily accessible for day drippers, Platja de Migjornis is located on the southern coast and is the longest beach on the island. Es Cavall d'en Borras is the closest beach to the port and provides very calm conditions, to name a few.

Formentera never gets as crowded as the other Balearic Islands, so it's a great destination even in high summer when temperatures reach about 29ºC. July is the best month. By mid-September its beaches become empty, and bars and restaurants close while farmers and fishermen reclaim the scene.

Formentera can be reached by ferry from Ibiza, which takes less than an hour. La Savina, the island's port, is a constant hive of activity as the island attracts many sailors, including a dazzling display of SuperYachts.

To visit Formentera is to remember something you didn't know you'd forgotten: that peace isn't found in the absence of noise but in the presence of meaning. That freedom resembles open skies, sea air, and barefoot evenings. And that sometimes, the most profound journeys are the quietest ones. 

For soulseekers, Formentera isn't just a destination—it's a mirror. A place that doesn't ask for anything but gives everything. 

If you have the chance to visit, you will feel you’ve never been anywhere like this. And once it touches you, you'll carry it with you long after the ferry pulls away.
