There are places that ask you to do more.
Formentera asks you to do less.
To slow down.
To walk barefoot.
To follow the sun.
To remember that the best days are often the simplest.
For our latest Destination Guide, we asked our friend Ana Reig of the Gecko Store to
share the Formentera she calls home.
Not an itinerary.
A feeling.
“Formentera is synonymous with freedom.”
For Ana, the island isn’t about ticking off places or
rushing between beaches.
It’s about listening to the birds before breakfast.
Hearing the waves long after sunset.
And finding the rare kind of quiet that only nature
can offer.
Especially along the shores of Mitjorn, where the
island still feels wonderfully wild.
Every day naturally ends the same way.
At a beach bar.
Watching the sky slowly change colour.
Ana’s favourite sunset spot is Chiringuito Briss,
where nobody seems to be in a hurry to leave.
One drink becomes two.
The sun disappears.
The conversation carries on.
The best outfit in Formentera?
A Tooshie bikini.
A pareo.
And no shoes.
“It’s the feeling of walking barefoot everywhere that
makes me happiest.”
There isn’t much more you need.
Clear water.
Quiet mornings.
The kind of swim that makes
you lose track of time.
Wide open.
Untouched.
Beautifully simple.
Artesanal
Because every island
afternoon deserves gelato.
Sometimes the best table isn’t
the most famous one.
It’s simply wherever the
evening takes you.
The Secret Spot
Some places are better left undiscovered.
Ana’s favourite will stay exactly that.
A secret.
A Moment Worth Keeping
When Ana wants to completely switch off,
she heads into the dunes.
No phone.
No destination.
Just a quiet place to sit.
To breathe.
To meditate.
Sometimes the best thing to do...
is nothing at all.
The Soundtrack
If Formentera had one instruction,
it would be this:
Follow the Sun.
The song.
The feeling.
The way of life.
The Tooshie Piece
When asked which colour belongs to
Formentera...
Ana doesn’t hesitate.
White.
And cream.
Soft.
Natural.
Timeless.
Just like the island itself.
One Last Thing
Leave your shoes behind.
Follow the sun.
Listen to the waves.
And give yourself permission to simply be.
That’s the real luxury of Formentera.
