Formentera is the smallest and less populated island of the Balearic archipelago and has cultivated a strong personality and distinctive charm. Only eleven miles separate Formentera from Ibiza, but crossing the strait you step into another world. Forget the clock and discover its landscape, with inviting pathways and coasts with their crystalline water.

Situated on one of Formentera's highest points in the southeast is the Mola viewpoint where you can enjoy the spectacular panoramic of the whole island. Stretched out before you are fields, pathways and some of the island's traditional architecture. Just a little further on is the lighthouse Far de la Mola which stands on cliffs overlooking the blueness of the sea. It was here, after gazing into the sky at night, that the French writer Jules Verne was inspired to write Journey Round the Solar System.

Formentera has two natural lakes which are connected to the sea. They provide a unique possibility see many species of migratory birds. Espalmador, situated in the north west of the island, is Formentera's largest islet.
