Formentera & Ses Illetes Beach

Formentera, Platja de ses Illetes

A small island a 30-minute ferry ride south of Ibiza. Ses Illetes beach is hailed as one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, making it suitable for a day trip.

Formentera is the smallest inhabited island of the Balearic Islands, reached by fast ferry from Ibiza Port in about 30-40 minutes. Ses Illetes, a narrow sandbar at the northern tip of the island, is flanked on both sides by Caribbean-clear shallows and is often rated one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. It lies within Ses Salines Natural Park, and a small environmental fee applies. Once on the island, rent an e-scooter or bicycle at Savina Port to tour the island, visiting Cap de Barbaria lighthouse, Migjorn beach and more. In peak season, book ferries and car rentals in advance.
