Undeveloped paradise, only a boat trip away
The smaller of the two Pitiuses islands, Formentera lies 16km south of Ibiza Island. A day trip to Formentera is often a must do activity for visitors to Ibiza.
Although there are package deals here for tourists, the island has been saved from mass tourism and is relatively under developed, in comparison to its neighbour of Ibiza.
Luckily any buildings higher than four stories have been outlawed, preserving the natural beauty of the island.
While the island is only 84km square, there is plenty to explore, in particular some stunning white sandy beaches.
Es Pujols is the main resort on the island with a pretty promenade hosting small cafés, restaurants and a hand full of bars, not to mention a Caribbean style white sandy beach with turquoise water. Regular boats leave from all the main resorts in Ibiza - see the travel and transport section for details.

The Noches de Reyes (Night of Kings) takes place the evening before, on the 5th January each year and then the Day of Kings is celebrated by people across Spain on the 6th January.
Spain, being predominantly Catholic, worships its saints devoutly. Every day of the year has a saints name associated with it and some are honoured with celebrations. January is a busy month, with Saint Anthony's day on 17 January and Saint Inés following shortly after, on 21 January.
The history of the island can be dated back over 4,000 years, from megalithic to the Phoenician settlers, the Greeks and of course the Romans, each have left their mark on this small island.
More recently, at the end of the Spanish Civil War, from 1939 until 1942, Formentera housed a concentration camp for political dissidents from the mainland of Spain who were awaiting execution.
Despite this long and varied history the island today is a haven for sun seekers, artists, musicians and writers.
