Why you should visit the island favoured by hippy celebrities like Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan
There is still a Spanish island in the Mediterranean three hours from Dublin with relatively uncrowded white sand beaches, no boozy party zones or loud nightclubs. It’s called Formentera and it’s the least known and quietest of the Balearic archipelago.
To get there, you have to fly to its noisier neighbour Ibiza — Formentera has no airport of its own - and take a ferry onwards. These leave from Ibiza every 30 minutes or so, but be warned, they don’t hang about — if you’re not on board on the dot, they’ll pull away and leave you on the quayside. As well as peaceful, relaxing holidays, Formentera also aims very much at green tourism and has dozens of walking and cycling routes crisscrossing the island.
We were able to see the owners of dozens of yachts who had stopped off to enjoy a drink at Temple Bar prices only without the view of passing inebriated stag parties. We watched in awe as some of the parasurfers took advantage of the strong breeze to perform multiple backflips, while speedboats zipped around the bay in front of us.
