🌴 What to Do in Formentera in Just 3 Days: Your Perfect Island Escape

So you’re planning a quick trip to Formentera? Good news: three days might not seem like much, but it’s just enough to fall in love with the island’s calm, crystal-clear waters, boho spirit, and wild beauty.

Here’s a simple 3-day guide to help you make the most of your stay — with beaches, sunsets, good food, and some local charm.

🗓 Day 1: First dip & island vibes

Morning

• Catch the ferry from Ibiza (just 30–35 min).
• Once you arrive in La Savina, rent a scooter or bike — it’s the best way to explore.
• Head straight to Ses Illetes Beach, one of Europe’s most stunning beaches. Think white sand, turquoise water, and a feeling like you’re in the Caribbean.

Afternoon

• Grab lunch at the iconic Juan y Andrea or Es Ministre, right on the beach.
• After lunch, walk up to Es Trucadors, the northern tip of the island where sea meets sea.

Evening

• Wander through the town of Sant Francesc — cozy cafés, artisan shops, and relaxed vibes.
• Have dinner at Casbah or Macondo, depending on your mood (romantic or local & lively).

🗓 Day 2: Lighthouses, cliffs & secret spots

Morning

• Start your day with coffee at Café del Lago.
• Drive up to La Mola Lighthouse, perched on the cliffs — Jules Verne even wrote about it.
• On your way, stop at Mirador de Formentera for panoramic views across the whole island.
• If it’s Wednesday or Sunday, stroll through the La Mola artisan market.

Afternoon

• Lunch in Es Caló, a quiet fishing village. Locals love Can Rafalet for paella and fresh fish.
• Spend the afternoon swimming or relaxing at Caló des Mort or Cala en Baster, two wild, rocky little gems perfect for escaping the crowds.

Evening

• Head to Blue Bar on Migjorn beach — a legendary sunset spot with cocktails and chill music under the stars.

🗓 Day 3: Slow morning & goodbye for now

Morning

• Wake up slowly in the Migjorn beach area — peaceful, wide beaches with endless sea views.
• Try paddleboarding or snorkeling if you’re feeling active, or just sip coffee with your feet in the sand.
• Brunch at Gecko Beach Club is always a good idea.

Afternoon

• Relax. Swim one more time. Breathe it all in.
• Pick up some local gifts or clothes in Sant Ferran or La Savina before heading to the port.

Evening

• Treat yourself to a farewell dinner at Chezz Gerdi (great food, even better location) or Can Carlos for something more upscale.
• Promise yourself you’ll come back — because you will.

✨ Final tips:

• Formentera moves at its own rhythm — leave your rush at home.
• Book ahead in high season: bikes, restaurants, even your beach beds.
• Bring reef-safe sunscreen, comfy shoes, and your best sunset-watching mood.
