FORMENTERA

Being the smallest of the Balearic island Formentera isn’t as big of a stop on the usual tourist loop of the region. With smaller crowds, come more peace. Sail into the bay and you’ll quickly discover that people go to Formentera simply to relax. Here, you’ll spend your time lazing on strikingly beautiful beaches, cooling off in glistening crystalline waters and dozing under the shade of pine trees. For those looking for something a little faster paced, it’s easy to get around the town on a rented scooter to explore the charming villages or by foot reach the island’s highest point, Faro de la Mola Lighthouse, for awe-inspiring views. Once back on your yacht, cruise from the picturesque port of Es Pujols to the protected Estany Pudent pond for the best view of the stunning island’s coastline. Before sailing back out towards the horizon, celebrate the day with a sundowner at Blue Bar.

The smallest island in the Balearics, Formentera’s  tranquilly and idyllic setting make it a popular destination for luxury charters escaping the hustle and bustle of neighbouring Ibiza and Mallorca. The island is stunning and is known as one of the best places to go wreck diving in Europe. Stroll around  the island’s capital, Sant Francesc Xavier, and enjoy a seafood paella and a dip in the turquoise waters of Illetes, Formentera’s most popular and one of the world’s most photographed beaches. With many anchorages to explore, charters can take their time enjoying Formentera’s warm, old-world charm.
