Formentera, the Essence of the Mediterranean
Formentera is the quiet soul of the Balearic Islands. Smaller, wilder and more serene, it embodies the Mediterranean in its purest form. Approaching the island by sailboat reveals a landscape shaped by light, wind and sea — an island where nature sets the rhythm and the ocean is always close.
A coastline of white sand and turquoise waters
Formentera’s coastline is famous for its long stretches of white sand, shallow turquoise lagoons and rocky coves that feel almost untouched. Sailing along the island offers breathtaking views of beaches such as Ses Illetes, Llevant, Cala Saona and the dramatic cliffs of Cap de Barbaria.
The gentle contours of the coast, combined with crystal-clear water, create perfect conditions for peaceful anchorages. From the boat, the island feels remote and timeless, far removed from the pace of everyday life.
Exceptional snorkeling in pristine waters
Formentera is renowned for having some of the clearest waters in Europe. Like Ibiza, the island is surrounded by extensive Posidonia seagrass meadows, protected and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. These underwater ecosystems ensure exceptional water clarity and support a rich marine biodiversity.
Snorkeling here is a truly immersive experience. The shallow seabed, natural rock formations and sandy patches make it easy to observe fish, sea stars, octopus and vibrant marine life. The calm conditions and visibility make Formentera ideal for relaxed, accessible snorkeling in a serene environment.
A simple, natural and authentic island
Formentera has preserved a rare sense of simplicity. No airport, no mass tourism — just small villages, rural landscapes, lighthouses overlooking the sea and a strong connection to nature. Life here follows the sun, the wind and the tides.
From the deck of a sailboat, this authenticity is even more tangible. The island invites contemplation, quiet moments and a deep sense of freedom. Whether enjoying a swim in a secluded bay or watching the sunset from the water, Formentera offers a unique feeling of balance and harmony.
Discovering Formentera by sea
Exploring Formentera by sailboat and snorkeling is the most natural way to experience the island. It allows access to hidden coves, protected waters and untouched landscapes that remain inaccessible from land.
Formentera is not about spectacle — it is about purity, light and connection with the sea. And sailing is the perfect way to embrace its essence
