How time perception changes in Formentera

The wonderful colours of Formentera are a remarkable reflection of the natural beauty that is showed in the countryside, on the sea and in the skies above. An endless range of blue, turquoise and green emanating good vibrations that will cradle you as if you were a baby. The most savage part of you will get the better in a natural paradise such as Formentera, and you will easily lose the time perception. The many hidden coves of the island will allow you to discover your inner wild spirit, and you will feel free as a bird. Exploring the coastline from a boat may be even more stimulating. It lets you enjoy the vast treasure of marine life.

Nature is amazing in Formentera. It’s not easy to pick a place among the many we could suggest, but one of our preferred sites is the Parc natural de ses salines d’Eivissa, a major model of the Mediterranean’s rich biodiversity. The exceptionality of this park is in the fact that it is a rest area and a testing ground for a big number of birds, along their migratory paths. As a natural area of special interest, it encompasses a group of terrestrial and marine habitats, with ecological, landscape, historical and cultural values of the first order on an international scale.

The “Market-Therapy”

One of the last villages of Formentera is El Pilar de La Mola. It’s a small village where you feel to be a bit set apart from the rest of the island. La Mola is a bucolic place, where you will see cute wall fences, vineyards and peasant farmer houses. A main street, where it is possible to find restaurants, banks, and the local church, composes the village itself. This road will also take you to the lighthouse, worth to be visited to see the striking views from the cliffs.

However, the main attraction here is the artcraft market square. From May to October every Wednesday and Sunday afternoons, you can visit one of the most charming markets, with live music and a very wide range of objects; sure you will completely lose your sense of time! Speaking about art craft, there are artisans from all over the world living half of the year in Formentera and the other half elsewhere. A great example is Gennaro Pepe, a glassblower from Naples creating amazing jewels, in particular hearths of glass. Among the pieces and models realized by Pepe there are ice cube necklaces, lace-like pendants, and show stopping glass hearts hung from cords or wrapped around their wrists. The artist (as this is the proper definition for someone like him) creates all the pieces individually and by hand so, there aren’t two pieces alike.

Time flies when you are having fun!

Formentera has its own aura, that kind of mysticism emerging from a small but intense place. But you certainly don’t have to renounce to entertain! If you think that the island is more tranquil than Ibiza, you are wrong. There is actually more nightlife than you can manage! If parties are your world, you can rock from dawn to dust in crazy clubs. Among the most popular, we can mention the following ones:

Blue Bar

Set along the famous Playa de Migjorn, right on the beach, the famous blue alien has become a symbol for the Movida in Formentera. They plan many events, such as parties, live music, DJ venues, and the beautiful terrace is ideal for enjoying a good cocktail.

Beso Beach

As soon as you enter their web-site you get that special feeling with a big sentence stating “Welcome to Paradise”. Right on the beach, it has three different areas and loud music every night. Definitely one of the must-to-do in Formentera. 

Tipic-

They boast an incredible organization aiming to give a true experience to their clients. There are thematic nights, with music changing from deep house to hip hop reggae ton!

Bananas & Co.

A smaller club with an informal atmosphere and a warm feel. Very good drinks.

Pachanka

Last club you can leave on a wondering night, as they allow you to enter up to 2 am, this famous club is situated in the touristic site of Es Pujols and is considered a must.

The Zen way of life

All the above was just to give you a sense of the island, but if you really wish to lose yourself, we recommend renting a villa in Formentera. Surrounded by blue and white, with the only noise of the waves, your perception of time will definitely change!
