A 6-Day Wellness Retreat | Island of Formentera
Simplicity is the true luxury.

Known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and laid-back atmosphere, it's a true escape for travelers seeking peace, nature, and understated luxury. Loved by artists, creatives, and those looking for a slower pace. The vibe is casual, with barefoot elegance and bohemian flair.
Our Formentera wellness holiday comes with delicious, healthy and nourishing foods, mindfulness, movement like stretching, Pilates and bike rides across the island to most beautiful beaches, lighthouses and villages.
And lots of time to swim and enjoy beach-time.

Formentera — an island of understated luxury
Formentera, the smallest of the Balearic Islands, only 30-minute by ferry boat from Ibiza. It is a hidden gem of the Mediterranean known for its pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and untouched natural beauty. One of the island’s most iconic spots is Playa de Ses Illetes, a stretch of soft white sand that seems to melt into the sea. Frequently listed among the world’s most beautiful beaches, Ses Illetes offers shallow, crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply soaking in the serenity. Just nearby, Espalmador, a tiny uninhabited island separated from Formentera by a narrow sandbar, adds to the dreamlike experience—accessible by boat or even by foot during low tide.
Beyond its beaches, Formentera offers captivating landscapes and cultural landmarks. The Cap de Barbaria lighthouse, perched on the southernmost tip of the island, offers breathtaking views of the open sea and dramatic cliffs—especially magical at sunset. The La Mola lighthouse, on the opposite end, is equally stunning and located near the high plateau of El Pilar de la Mola, where travelers can explore artisan markets and enjoy panoramic countryside vistas.
