Formentor Holidays

Holidays in Formentor – Famous hotel and stunning scenery
When talking of holidays in Formentor, most people are referring to the Formentor Peninsula, to the north of Puerto Pollensa, on the far north of the island of Mallorca, 44 miles north of Palma airport. Amazingly dramatic scenery and a classy 1930’s hotel have made breaks here a popular choice with celebrities. Nowadays, Formentor is more likely to appeal to nature lovers and birdwatchers, though the accommodation remains distinctly upmarket. For more modest accommodation, try the hotels in Puerto Pollensa.

Formentor Holidays – Mallorca at its most dramatic
The real joy of Formentor lies in its location: a truly splendid and peaceful spot when daytime visitors have left. Walkers and nature lovers will find the area offers satisfying walking among some of the wildest scenery in Mallorca. Bird-watching here is particularly rewarding in spring. Look out for excellent low-season offers in local hotels. Formentor nightlife is largely a case of hotel entertainment. For a livelier scene, make the short trip into Port de Pollenca or Alcudia Bay. Formentor also offers splendid water skiing and sailing and plenty of scope for horse-riding.

Formentor Holidays - The finest views on Mallorca
The undoubted highlight of any Formentor holiday is the cape itself, with its spectacular roads, vast cliffs and fjord-like inlets. Tremendous viewpoints are dotted along the Cabo de Formentor. No trip here is complete without walking or driving out to the famous Formentor lighthouse at the end of the peninsula. Incredible roads run along dramatic cliff tops to Formentor beach, a spectacular little bay backed by pine forests. Cala de Pi de la Posada is a superb spot for swimming. Longer beaches are found to the south of Formentor towards Port de Pollenca.
