The article describes Formentera, a serene Mediterranean island that serves as a refuge for artists and eccentrics. It reflects on the island's history since the 1960s, when famous musicians like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell sought inspiration there. The absence of commercial nightlife and its stunning landscapes create a unique bohemian atmosphere. The island's remote location has preserved its low-key charm, making it a timeless getaway in the heart of Europe, attracting fashionable visitors and influencers looking for a creative and peaceful experience.
Hippies first arrived in the 1960s. Bob Dylan is reputed to have slept in an old windmill. Pink Floyd stayed for extended periods, and the band used the eerie image of an island windmill on the cover of its soundtrack for More, Barbet Schroeder's 1969 film about the hippie-heroin scene that was partly filmed on the island.
Formentera is a paradise in the center of Europe, Starck, who owned a cliffside home on the island for three decades, told a French fashion magazine in 2023.
