7Formentera, Balearic Islands
Though part of the Balearic archipelago, Formentera is often overshadowed by its glitzy neighbors. This serene island is only accessible by ferry from Ibiza, making it a haven for those who want peace and quiet. With powdery white sands and turquoise waters, beaches like Playa de Ses Illetes rival those of the Caribbean. Formentera has a strong bohemian vibe, with rustic beach bars, artisan markets, and cycling routes that allow visitors to explore its salt flats and pine forests at a leisurely pace.
