Spain - Balearics - Formentera

Formentera is only four miles (about 6½ km) from Ibiza, but its ambience is light years away from Ibiza's techno and party scene. The island, which is roughly the shape of a T-bone, is populated mostly by farmers, a few hundred seasonal expatriates from Northern Europe, and tourists--including nudists--who come for the relaxed atmosphere and unspoiled beaches.

To reach Formentera, you'll need to catch the ferry to La Savina (the local port) from Ibiza. Once you arrive, you can rent two- or four-wheeled transportation to get around the island.
