Ibiza’s
hippish little sister, the pocket-sized island of
Formentera is home to some of Europe’s best beaches, offering a
soothingly languid escape from the up-all-night pace of its
neighbouring White
Isle. A mix between endearing chiringuitos – beachside shacks –
and slicker, more design-driven affairs, the bars on Formentera
have grown up over the years, but you’re still just as likely to
spot dreadlocks as you are designer threads among the clientele.
Offering everything from innovative cocktails served out of cooler
boxes to the blistering beats of international DJ sets, these are
our top-seven don’t-miss Formentera
addresses.
restaurant
Chezz Gerdi
Have you even been to Formentera if you haven’t taken a picture
of ChezzGerdi’s circus-red campervan? Dishing out giant
frisbee-sized pizzas from its wood-fired oven, this beachside venue
epitomises Formentera’s leisurely pace. Yes, service may be a tad
slow, but relax into it and you’ll enjoy your meal all the more
when it arrives. Pull up a pew at the bar or sink into one of the
cloud-like sun loungers scattered across the beach, kick back and
watch the world go by.

Casa Pacha
This island newbie has fast become the most sought-after spot to
book come lunchtime, and with an exceptional menu – we’re talking
fist-sized prawns, whole wild-caught sea bass and arguably the best
wine list on the island – it won’t take you long to figure out why.
The crowd? A mix of island day-trippers swapping their yachts for
lazy, rosé-fuelled afternoons, and die-hard music fans here for the
sunset sets from Pacha’s roster of world-class DJs.
