Formentera and Around
Some of the best of an Ibiza trip lies just beyond the beach you are on. This guide covers Formentera and the island's standout towns and sights nearby.
Ibiza is compact, so day trips are short and easy. The biggest is the crossing to Formentera, a smaller island of impossibly clear water, but the towns and sights around Ibiza itself, from San Antonio's sunsets to the old town of Dalt Vila, reward exploring too.
The three guides below cover the Formentera day trip, the contrast between the lively west of San Antonio and the calmer east of Santa Eulalia, and the cultural draw of Dalt Vila. Together they round out a trip beyond a single beach base.
