🌿 Hidden Places to Relax in Formentera
People often call Formentera the last real paradise in the Mediterranean. It’s a small island that still has the slow pace and natural beauty that many other places have lost. Most people go to the famous beaches, but there are still places where you can be completely alone with nature and turquoise water.
These are some of the most beautiful and private spots on Formentera, great for people who want to be alone, relax, and connect with the island’s true spirit.
1. Migjorn: Wild Beauty and an Endless Horizon
Playa de Migjorn is a long, natural beach that runs along the southern coast. There are still completely private spots between the dunes and pine trees.
The beach bars and boutique villas are spread out and blend in with the landscape, making it a great place for people who want privacy without missing out on the sea breeze and sunset views.
đź’ˇ Local tip: The area around Es Ca MarĂ and Can Tres has some of the most private villas, which are tucked away among pines and sandy paths.
2. Cala en Baster: The Secret Bay
Cala en Baster is one of Formentera’s best-kept secrets. It’s hidden between cliffs on the northeast coast. The rocky shore and natural caves make it feel like you’re in a remote part of the island that you can’t find anywhere else.
Great for people who like to snorkel, read by the sea, or just listen to the sound of the waves without being around a lot of people.
đź’ˇ Tip for getting there: Park close to Sant Ferran and walk the short path to the cove. The view when you get there is worth it.
3. Cap de Barbaria: Silence and the End of Time
Cap de Barbaria is one of the most magical places on the island, especially at sunrise or sunset. Its famous lighthouse is what makes it so special.
It’s a great place to feel completely cut off because it’s surrounded by silence, rocks, and the open sea. There are a few villas nearby that are hidden away and meant to be simple and private. They often have stunning views of the sea.
đź’ˇ Don’t miss the small cave by the lighthouse (La Cova Foradada). A narrow passage leads to a hidden balcony above the sea.
4. Es CalĂł des Mort: Small, Personal, and Unforgettable
This little cove is like a postcard of Formentera: clear water, smooth rocks, and a few old fishing huts.
Even though it’s not always empty, it becomes one of the most intimate and magical places on the island if you go early in the morning or at sunset.
Photography lovers: The light here in the late afternoon is just perfect.
5. The countryside around La Mola
The area around La Mola that is not on the coast is completely private. Many traditional fincas have been turned into beautiful villas that keep the island’s rural spirit alive. They are surrounded by fig trees and dry-stone walls.
The only sounds here are cicadas and the sea breeze blowing through the trees.
Final Thoughts
The real luxury of Formentera is its simplicity: waking up to silence, walking barefoot to the sea, and feeling like you’re far away from everything. The island still has some very private and beautiful places, whether you like the wild dunes of Migjorn, the cliffs of Cala en Baster, or the quiet countryside of La Mola.
