Where to eat & go for a drink
ES MOLI DE SAL
Stunning panoramic sea vistas compliment delicious seafood at this former salt mill close to the northern point of Formentera.
ES CODOL FORADAT RESTAURANTE
Located right on the beach, this local favourite has terraces both on the sea and back side. Both are minimally yet wonderfully decorated, and serve traditional seafood.
SA ROQUETA
A low key restaurant with a great view and a nice breeze, right on the serene beach. Micky recommends coming here for lunch or tapas.

MANOLITO
This restaurant is located at one of the most beautiful and remote beaches. It has an incredibly chill atmosphere, and is a great place to stop for lunch.
CA NA JOANA
Serves both traditional dishes and surprising sushi, prepared by a guest chef. It is located in the lovely town of San Francisco, which has great tapas bars all around and is also a good stop for shopping.
What to do
GET A MASSAGE AT SA PEDRERA
There are great massage therapists at local spas such as Rodrigo at Sa Pedrera, but also some that do home visits. Micky calls Jorje Ramos for this: +34 671 606 231.
GO FOR A WALK IN PARC NATUREL DE SES SALINES
Micky and her friends always go to the same houses, located in Parc Naturel de ses Salines. This beautiful natural park spans from the north of Formentera to the south of Ibiza.
It houses not just beautiful natural beaches but also plenty of chiringuitos: small beach bars that serve tapas and drinks.
LA MOLA
Micky recommends going to this small town that is located on the highest part of the island, giving a great view.
