The waters and beaches around Formentera are unique and amazing to most new visitors.
It is sometimes hard to believe that you are in the Mediterranean! The crystal clear waters and abundant sea life make for good diving and snorkeling.

The island is very well suited to dinghy sailing, and is a popular training ground for competitive sailors to practice and perfect their skills.

The most popular way to get around and see Formentera is on a bicycle. It’s nice and flat for those who are not ardent mountain bikers and there are a great many cycling paths around the island. Motorbikes and quads are also popular; or try an electric bicycle to help you out if it gets too hot or windy.

These shallow lagoons have been used for centuries by the inhabitants of Formentera to produce salt in the north-western part of the island. Today the area is a nature conservation area for many species of birds. Flocks of flamingoes have even been sighted.

Held in front of the church Nuestra Senora del Pilar on Wednesdays and Sundays. A popular tourist attraction and very well known. Formentera also attracted a lot of artists and craftsmen during the hippie days and, in the same fashion as in Ibiza, this tradition has been passed on to the next generation.

The lighthouse is situated on a 114 metre high rock, on the south-eastern side of the island. On a clear day Mallorca can be seen on the horizon. This area of rocky coast around the lighthouse is known for being home to the local lizards, which are the emblem of Formentera.

The fortified church in San Francesc was built in 1726. The thick walls and small windows make it an unusual looking church;
doubling up as a fortress complete with cannons, it was used to successfully hold off pirate attacks, and to shelter the local inhabitants.

On the eastern side of Formentera, the village of El Pilar de la Mola, set on a rural plateau, is a quiet traditional village well worth a visit.

Gorgeous light house, and familiar site for those sailing in Newport Harbor. Built in 1869, on an 18 acre island set a mile from Newport’s shore. Onsite museum and possibility to spend the night either in the museum, or become the keeper and stay on the second floor!
