Formentera

A holiday in Formentera is a world away from one in the busy resorts of Ibiza, but you can still expect that same stunning Balearic weather:

• December to March make up the Winter months, with weather ranging from 8-17°C.

• The weather starts to sneak up in April, crossing the 10°C minimum and reaching the high teens at its peak.

• In May the temperature breaks into the 20°C bracket at 22°C.

• June is when the Summer truly starts, reaching 26°C.

• The Summer peak takes place between July and September, reaching a peak of 30°C and not dropping below 20 until September.

• October and November are a rather quick drop in heat from 24°C to 19°C until December brings the circle to a close.

Formentera holidays offer more than just excellent beaches. Deeper into the water there are some breathtaking diving and snorkelling spots as well as some more extreme watersports available at local licensed operators.

The inland also has some stunning views. Due to the small size of the island it is possible to cycle around the entire island during a holiday to Formentera. There are a lot of places that hire out bicycles at great rates to allow you to do this.

You can visit one of the island’s famous lighthouses from both the sea if you enjoy swimming, or from the land if you choose to hire a bicycle.

For such a small island, Formentera is blessed with a relatively large wine industry. Tours are available at most of the islands professional vineyards. There may even be free samples available.

There is also a weekly market that sells locally crafted products made by the island’s creative locals.
