Sustainable Formentera for couples

Formentera, as well as being a nearby oasis of incredible natural beauty, is also a paradise for nature lovers. Its 32 green routes offer the perfect opportunity for couples to explore its most beautiful corners together and immerse themselves in the magic of this idyllic place.

Most of the routes are accessible to all ages and levels. With a few circular exceptions, most are straight-line routes, which should be taken into account. On this map of the official tourism website of Formentera you can consult the 32 routes available, although here we suggest the most beautiful and spectacular options.

Sea routes

The Mediterranean off Formentera has a special light, and that is why the routes that run along the coast have an unquestionable charm. The north of the island has several routes to enjoy the sea breeze while the horizon is lost in the infinite blue. The route that runs between the port town of La Savina and Les Illetes is easy and accessible, especially by bicycle, ideal for getting to know Formentera's salt-making past. Once there, a swim in the sandy shores of Es Trucadors is a must. 

Inland Green Routes

Exploring the interior of Formentera through its green routes is the best way to discover just how infinite the island feels. These itineraries reveal ethnological elements that tell us of a recent past in which the optimisation of resources was key, defence towers, huge propped fig trees and the silence of nature in its purest form. 

We can get away from the tourist hustle and bustle on the atypical route that links El Pilar de la Mola with Es Ram, known for the great variety of landscapes in just over 4 kilometres. 

Or go all out in a full day plan and cross half the island from Sant Francesc to La Mola. This route offers a rural landscape with dry stone walls and fig trees, among which the Blanca d'en Mestre stands out: a huge fig tree that has been propped up for decades and has developed incredible shapes. On the way, you will discover the picturesque fishing village of Es Caló de Sant Agustí, ideal for returning to the sea, resting and recovering your strength. 

The route of the lighthouses

We can't think of a more romantic plan than watching the sun go down over the sea next to a lighthouse in Formentera. The island has 3 lighthouses and its location forms a seductive triangle that invites visitors to discover them and, along the way, explore the most authentic essence of this Balearic island. Along the way, the island's emblematic lighthouses, such as the lighthouse of La Mola and the lighthouse of Cap de Barbaria, rise majestically over cliffs and breathtaking coastal landscapes. Every step immerses you in the history and natural beauty of Formentera, offering unforgettable panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and unique opportunities for spectacular sunsets. 

An island on an island

In Formentera, they say that La Mola is an island on an island because of the great variety of landscapes it is home to, for its unique landscape and for its tranquillity, as it is an area away from the main tourist attractions. On this circular route, designed for cycling, you will discover the most authentic and natural Formentera, with the advantage of not having to think about the return journey as it ends at the same point of departure. 

Whether exploring the green routes, enjoying walks along the coast or watching the sunset from a lighthouse, Formentera captivates with its romantic atmosphere and indescribable beauty. Immerse yourself in the charm of this island and create unforgettable memories in this Mediterranean paradise.
