Stunning beach just like all the others in the island
Aug 2020 • Couples
This beach is the most beautiful on the island in my opinion - you queue and pay to get there and there is basically nothing there except one restaurant which I didn’t go in to and was dead every time I walked past it. The further you walk along the headland the more remote the beaches become. To the right there is beautiful white sandy beaches with surk for days and to the left the calm crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean lap the white sandy beach which is nearly perfect (as you go further up you get more sea debris in the sand but it adds to the rustic charm of this beautiful beach).
Walk for 30 minutes to reach the very end of the island where you can see espalmador on the other side of the sea - there is nothing there apart from a lifesavers hit and a tiny bit of sand - worth the walk for the view but not a place to spend the day at if you like a big beach with amenities around it. It’s not recommended to swim to espalmador and while I was there I saw people trying to swim back to formentera and being told to go back to espalmador - so if you do swim over you might not be able to get back!

Beautiful beach, clear blue water, soft golden sand
Aug 2020
This beach is a must see if you are visiting Ibiza, it doesn't cost much to get the ferry and then you just need a short taxi to Ses Illetes, I have been to the best beach in the world (Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos) and I believe this is the closest you will get to it on a short haul flight. If you want a Caribbean beach and weather with a 2.5 hour flight then this is the place to go. It is very clean and spacious, make sure to pack food and drinks as there are no shops on or near the beach.

Just the best beach in Europe
Jul 2020
For us this is one of the best beaches in Europe. No need to go to the Caribbean! You can just go to Formentera and enjoy the white sand.

Best beach in Europe???
Jul 2019
Wow - this beach is amazing. We had done a lot of research for our day trip to Formentera and we were so excited to visit this beach. It far exceeded our expectations and we would return on our next trip to Ibiza/Formentera as it really is incredible.

Best beach in the world
Nov 2019 • Couples
Possibly the best beach in the world. I have been in many places, but nothing comes close to this paradise. The colors of the water are unreal.

The Maldives of Spain?
Jun 2019
This beach is spectacular: clear, calm waters, smooth sand and peace of mind. It is recommended to arrive early in the day, to really enjoy it with just a few people. It gets a bit crowded around 11 a.m. (but never packed). It is inside a natural reserve, which means you have to pay if you go by car, and there is a limit to the number of people allowed per day. Really recommended.

My second year
Oct 2019 • Friends
This is my second year there and is amazing , Ibiza is not only party, I been with my friends to this beach and us just mesmerising it feels like you in Maldives or somewhere .
Clean water and hot as well nice sand very fine .
Not to many sunbeds so you might take something with you. Food for sure because I been last year around there and is expensive . We paid for 3 meals and 3 drinks like £150
£180 for all .
Is a quiet place so bring a book with you or something to play in case that you go with your friends .
