Formentera is one of Spain’s Balearic Islands the smallest of the bunch, off the southeastern coast of the mainland. It is a unique place, where time does stand still and you may just forget the meaning of the word stressed-out. Formentera has no concept of busy, hectic or rushed. It is as laid-back as a reggae song, but with a Mediterranean beat.
Being such a special place, it only makes sense that Formentera would also offer up some pretty unique accommodations. A small island, tourists will have a hard time getting a hotel in the busy summer season. Instead of staying in a hotel or even a pension on Formentera, opt for a local experience and stay at Dorita’s farm in the countryside.
Dorita’s Farmhouse Stays on Formentera, SpainDorita, who owns the rural house, rents out rooms in her farmhouse, plus separate rooms, cabins and yurt-like structures on the property. There is also a communal kitchen for guests to use. But be warned! No wine or smoking on the premises! Dorita has certain rules. The farmhouse is what one could call ‘hippy’ in style, with mandarin colored beads hung in doorways, and hammock strung from fig trees. However, those who have a ‘natural’ side will love Dorita’s thoughtful touches. The places is really very peaceful, beautiful, and dare I say?, groovy.
