No surprises here: if you are into partying, beautiful sunsets and a relaxed hippy vibe, Ibiza is the island for you!
But If you are not so keen on all-day clubbing, head North of the island, where you will find nice sandy coves and a quieter atmosphere!
Formentera
Formentera is the smallest and least accessible Balearic Island which makes it perfect if you are looking for a ‘secluded island’ kind of vibe. Here you will find unspoilt nature, beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters. Formentera is perfect for holidaymakers in search of an authentic, off the beaten track destination!
