Sail over to the smallest of the inhabited Balearic Islands to swim in see-through waters, sample local food and see all the top sights of this easy-on-the-eye isle. What's more, a beachside lunch is included. Andrea, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Whenever I come to Formentera, I am amazed at how the bright colours bring this island to life. And then, when I visit La Mola lighthouse, I agree with Jules Verne when he described in his book, Off on a Comet, that this is the place where the universe and paradise meet.'

Blemish-free beaches, sleepy harbour towns, and a go-slow pace as standard – Formentera may only be a stone's throw from Ibiza, but it's a million miles away in personality. It's hard to imagine that it has stayed under the holidaymaking radar for so long, yet Formentera is a treasure trove of traditional songs, myths, Roman history and megalithic monuments. Your tailormade island tour can take in culture, nature, beaches and history. The choice is yours on this private day trip, including a sea-view lunch.

There are plenty of things to do on Formentera that you might want to include on your bespoke trip. Where beaches are concerned, one of the must-visits is Ses Illetes beach, a dreamy mix of white sand and shallow water in varying shades of blue. Nature enthusiasts might want to prioritise nature reserves such as Ses Salines for birdwatching and hikes, and for an action-packed day there are plenty of water sports on offer around the island.
