Guide was excellent and enjoyed the day but would have liked more time in the capital that was a really lovely town and less time at the beach. Three hours at a beach with very little sun beds and umbrellas available it was too long. A number of people on the trip were sheltering under trees as you couldn’t spend three hours in a restaurant! Also arrived at the beach at 1.45 the shops close at 2.00 so not much time to enjoy some shopping to have some shade.
Formentera might be the baby of the Balearics, but it's big on charm. This island feels worlds apart from the others – no high-rise hotels, just locals zipping between beaches on scooters. Your journey begins in Sant Francesc, the island's whitewashed capital where time seems to slow down. Then, you'll soak up views from Es Mirador, the highest point on the island, and visit La Mola lighthouse. The grand finale? Free time in Es Pujols, where you can enjoy a beachside lunch or unwind on silky white sands.
