Soulful adventure. Delicious, healthy food. Mediterranean magic.
Formentera is the smallest and most tranquil of Spain's Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea. 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, movement like stretching, gentle Yoga-Pilates and bike rides across the island to most beautiful beaches, lighthouses and villages.
And lots of time to swim and enjoy beach-time.
Expect the food to be mostly organic, delicious and prepared by a private chef. Gluten free, lactose free, sugar free yet so rich in flavor .
The food is full of Mediterranean flavors, using whole foods and superfoods.
We stay in a traditional beautiful finca within walking distance to the crystal clear Formentera waters.
Our days begin with a walk to a very peaceful beach, swimming, a deep stretching session which will prepare you for a day and followed by a lovely freshly cooked brunch.
What`s next? A bike ride and adventure guided by Magdalena across the island. Swimming, walking or cycling along the island's wonderful beaches. Stopping in charming little villages and cute cafés for drinks, snacks and shopping (there are some truly beautiful and unique boutiques across the island) .
The late afternoon Pilates & Yoga postural alignment sessions to recenter and strengthen your body, bring serenity and peace, before our warm, cooked dinner.

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.

— Marina“This trip was idyllic. I really enjoyed the program: the bike rides around lovely corners of the island, coffee stops, morning stretching practices at the beach, swimming in crystalline waters… The villa we stayed in was charming, the Pilates & Yoga classes by Sonia were delightful, and the food prepared by Marion was absolutely magnificent. I really really enjoyed the company and the energy of the ladies in the group. All in all it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience that fully recharged me . Thanks Magdalena for uncovering for us some of the gems of Formentera!
