With white sand- turquoise sea and the kind of barefoot luxury usually found on a long haul- to arrive at Teranka is to feel like stumbling across a secret escape. Its style interwoven with the pure beauty of Formentera Island- every element of this blissful retreat celebrates nature. Rooms are crafted from local stone- yoga sessions are taught outdoors on the cusp of pine forests- and the restaurant- Teranka by Rafa Zafra- dispels with walls to serve seafood with a side of ocean breeze. Not to mention the rooftop bar that specialises in sushi and cocktails with the pine canopy and Migjorn Beach as your backdrop. This is the place to sit with a book beneath an olive or juniper tree- stretch out on a poolside cabana with a cool cocktail- and slip into the slower pace of life Formentera is known for. Rooms and suites are all different- but loosely collected into three areas Mar- Tierra and Cielo. Some come with azure sea views or an outlook that stretches all the way past the pine forests to La Mola. Others have verandas and rooftop terraces- the perfect spot for a private tapas dinner. Spend days retuning mind and body at the spa- OPO- with its unique alfresco gym that creates exercise equipment from natural materials. Or find inner calm with an immersive meditation experience in the open air. Teranka also promises holistic spa treatments- and signature therapies include the Black Orchid facial- enriched with gold. And- as a hotel that champions creativity- guests can expect to see pieces from its own private art collection exhibited on the walls and across the beautiful sculpture garden. Teranka is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
