Formentera is the smallest of the 4 Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera), belonging to the Spanish Country. Along with Ibiza, it forms the Pitiusas Islands. It is just two nautical miles south of Ibiza, although the distance between the ports of Ibiza and Formentera (La Savina) is 12 miles. Our beloved island has nothing to do with her bigger sister, Ibiza. As Ibiza is mostly party, nightlife, chill-out bar clubs and fashion victims, while Formentera is peace, sun, relax and freedom.
Although Formentera is a little island (82 m2), it has a very long coast with plenty of beautiful white sand beaches and unbelievable blue sea. The secret of Formentera's long beaches, which mark the difference with the rest of the Mediterranean, is the Posidonia prairie that surrounds the island, a natural treatment plant that cleans the water and makes it possible for sand to be deposited on the coast. This prairie was declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999.
And, of course, we have to mention Formentera's magic charm that in some way or another will captivate you. Formentera has something different that has to be experienced.
