How to get there

The only way to arrive to Formentera is by ferry from Ibiza. A ferry leaves approximately each 2 hours. From the port of Formentera there are buses to La Sabina, San Francisco and La Mola.

What to see

Already before you arrive to the port you will see the wonderful beaches Photo. Formentera is the only town-hall of the island, but there are several villages:

La Sabina, with the only port, and those typical white-washed houses.

Las Salinas, at the narrowest part of the island, offers landscapes of unique beauty.

In the interior there is San Francisco Javier, a concentration of white houses around a fortificated church.

San Fernando is located in the midst of large pine woods which end at the beach of Es Pujols in the North and at the beach of Mitjorn Photo in the South. Other recommendable beaches are En Boster, Ca'n Xico Mateu and the impressive natural port of Es Caló

The road to La Mola, located at the very South-East of the island, leads us up to 193 meters above sea level. From the view-point El Mirador you may enjoy an outstanding panorama. In the village itsself you may visit the beautiful church Iglesia del Pilar.

Formentera's western part offers untouched nature. The perhaps most beautiful beach is Cala Saona.
