Formentera, Mediterranean island near Ibiza, Spain
The 20-kilometer-long island features white sand beaches, transparent waters, and two lighthouses that mark its extremities at La Mola and Cap de Barbaria.
Phoenician merchants established settlements on the island in 2000 BCE, using its natural salt pans for preservation and trading across the Mediterranean Sea.
Local residents maintain traditional practices of salt harvesting and fishing, while preserving the architectural style of cubic white houses throughout the island.
Ferries connect the island to Ibiza every 30 minutes during summer, and visitors can rent bicycles or electric vehicles to explore the terrain.
The island contains extensive fields of Posidonia oceanica seagrass, forming an underwater ecosystem that maintains water clarity and supports marine biodiversity.
