Book your Formentera holiday
Holidays To Formentera Island
Welcome to Formentera! On the smallest of the four Balearic Islands, which lie off the coast of Southern Spain in the balmy waters of the Mediterranean, life moves at a pace that some might call slow and others might say is just right.
Formentera holidays are your chance do nothing at all and feel absolutely no guilt about it. Sun, sand and endless stretches of ocean are the ultimate escape for any traveller.
Things to Do in Formentera
Besides relaxing on beaches that are straight out of a brochure, like Playa Illetes and Playa Llevant, make sure you check out Wotif’s Formentera car hire deals to visit all the little seaside towns. Grab a swimsuit and a book and unwind by the ocean—it’s not like you have anywhere else to be (seriously)! And if you’d rather check out the big city, a car is the easiest way to get there—maybe a Barcelona holiday is in your future?
Before you hit the beach, use the morning hours to have a quick snorkel and catch the colourful residents of the Mediterranean at their best. While you’re here, be sure to explore the charming streets of Es Pujols, where palm trees and pastel buildings line the streets like a postcard.
Shopping, Dining & Nightlife
If you’re looking to upgrade your wardrobe and bring home some exceptional gifts, book one of the Formentera holiday packages near Es Pujols. You’ll find everything from postcards to speedos for your envious friends and family. Head to the historic streets of San Francisco, the capital, for more traditional items and a smattering of art galleries and craft shops. And to make that loved one forget that you didn’t bring them with you, a gift from the Saturday “hippie fair” in Pilar de la Mola should do the trick.
Seafood is so fresh and abundant on the island that you need to stick your fork in your plate as soon as it is served to keep it from escaping back to its home (we’re kidding, but it’s pretty darn fresh). Connoisseurs of the sea will want Formentera packages in the port town of La Sevina, where vendors set up to serve the arriving and departing tourists and dock workers. When it's time to go high-class, head to the waterfront restaurants in Es Pujols and splurge on flavourful fusion plates from top chefs.
The nightlife on a Formentera holiday is quite diverse, to say the least, and can mean anything from beauty pageants to live music right on the beach. Hit the streets of San Francisco to party with the locals the little tavernas here carry beer steins that look centuries old. You don't even have to leave the beach to get your party on if you don’t want to. Small wooden shacks set up tables and chairs right on the sand a couple hours before sunset every day and serve inexpensive cocktails well into the night.
What's Next?
You don’t need the fortune tellers of Pilar de la Mola to know that laying out on the white sand beaches of Spain's prettiest island is in your future—just search Wotif’s Formentera deals. We give you the best selection of everything from airfares to hotels, so you can focus on packing the sunscreen and swimsuit instead.
