Formentera holidays
Say hello to Formentera, the Balearic Islands’ best-kept secret! This seafront stunner is just a 40-minute ferry ride from Ibiza, boasting powdery sands, crystalline waters and a laid-back vibe. It’s a far cry from the bright lights of Ibiza, and between the sun-bleached exteriors, charming beach bars and hippy markets, it’s left a distinctly bohemian imprint on the island. Es Pujols is buzzy with a relaxed vibe, thanks to its cool bar scene, while Playa de Migjorn is on the quieter side, plus it’s home to the largest stretch of sand on the island at a whopping 5km.

Platja de Migjorn
Calling all beach bums! This boho beauty is home to the largest stretch of sand on the island – it’s a whopping 5km long!
