2FORMENTERA, SPAIN

Overshadowed by its famous neighbour Ibiza, the little Balearic island of Formentera is just as pretty but has a fraction of the crowds.

There’s not much accommodation on the island, which helps keep the numbers down. Ideal for those looking for the simple pleasures in life and prepared to pay a little extra for the solitude. Head to Ses Illetes for dreamy lagoon-style waters.
