FORMENTERA: SES ILLETES BEACH

For years I have always heard of the beauty of the beaches of Formentera. This year I have eventually took a bath in them and enjoy its clear water and white sand, especially of Ses Illetes Beach.

From Figueretes beach in Ibiza we took a boat, which after a pleasant journey of one hour left us in the harbor of Sa Savina in Formentera. There we rent a bike in order to reach Ses Illetes beach. Before getting this beach, we stopped several times to enjoy the beauty of this area of Formentera.

Below I would like to show you some of the pictures I took during the day I spent in Formentera. It really was a fantastic day.

IBIZA: BEACHES AND COVES


There are many beautiful beaches we could enjoy in Ibiza, most of them near Sant Antoni de Portmany area. We didn't rent a car, so all these beaches can be reached by public transport from Sant Antoni de Portmany or Ibiza in summer.

Without any doubt, in my opinion, the most beautiful ones are Cala Conta and Cala Tarida. The clear and turquoise water of these two beaches are wonderful.


So the beaches we enjoyed in Ibiza were:

  • Cala Tarida
  • Cala Conta
  • Cala Gració
  • Figueretes Beach
  • Port des Torrents
  • Cala Portinatx
  • S'Illot des Renclí
  • Cala Xarraca
  • Santa Eulàlia des Riu Beach
