Formentera, the beautiful Balearic island located in the Mediterranean Sea, is a paradisiacal destination that captivates its visitors with its white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and picturesque landscapes. If you only have one day to explore this corner of paradise, an excellent option is to rent a motorbike with La Savina Moto Rent and enjoy an unforgettable route around the island. In this article, we'll give you a guide to the main places you can't miss on your visit to Formentera.
What to do in the morning?
Once you have your rental scooter, which you can pick up at the port of La Savina as soon as you arrive by ferry to the island, we recommend you start your day early to make the most of your time. Head to the north of the island, where you'll find one of Formentera's most famous beaches: Playa de Ses Illetes. With its white sand and turquoise waters, this place will take your breath away. You can relax on the beach, sunbathe or even take a refreshing dip in the sea.
After enjoying Ses Illetes, continue your route towards the west of the island, where you will find the Cap de Barbaria lighthouse. This emblematic lighthouse will give you breathtaking views of the landscape of Formentera. If you have time, don't hesitate to explore the surrounding area and discover the cliffs and caves that surround the lighthouse. The rental motorbike will allow you to get around easily and reach these places that are difficult to reach by public transport.
Continuing your motorbike adventure, head towards the centre of the island and visit the charming village of Sant Francesc Xavier. This picturesque village has a lively main square, where you can enjoy a coffee or a meal in one of the local restaurants. You can also visit the church of Sant Francesc Xavier, an important place of historical interest on Formentera. Remember to park your motorbike in a safe place before exploring the town on foot.
What to do in the afternoon?
After visiting Sant Francesc Xavier and with a full belly, it's time for some rest. It's time to head to the east of the island and explore the stunning Migjorn beach. With its kilometres of golden sand and crystal-clear waters, this beach will provide you with a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Take your time to stroll along the shore, enjoy a cocktail at one of the beach bars or simply gaze out to sea.
Where to watch the sunset and have dinner?
If you have time for dinner on the island, after enjoying Migjorn beach we recommend you go to Formentera's other emblematic lighthouse, La Mola, located on the eastern end of the island. From here, you can enjoy unbeatable panoramic views of the cliffs and the sea. If you visit the viewpoint at sunset, you will witness one of nature's most impressive spectacles as the sun sets over the horizon.
Finally, to end your day of exploring Formentera by motorbike, we suggest you head towards Es Caló a small fishing port where you can still see the local fishermen heading out to sea early in the morning to bring in their fresh catch. The village itself is a lovely place to stroll around. Its narrow cobbled streets are lined with whitewashed houses with brightly painted windows and doors, creating a picturesque and typical image of Mediterranean architecture. In the centre of the village, you'll find a quiet square with restaurants and bars where you can enjoy the local cuisine before setting off for La Savina to catch the ferry back to Ibiza.
By the end of your day tour of Formentera by scooter, you'll have experienced the best that this beautiful island has to offer. The freedom and flexibility that renting a motorbike with La Savina Moto Rent gives you will allow you to explore every corner of Formentera in a comfortable and convenient way.
Remember that, when renting a motorbike, it is important to drive responsibly and respect the traffic rules. Make sure you have all the necessary documents and always wear a helmet to ensure your safety.
