Absolutely stunning
Oct 2021 • Couples
The approach to the beach places you in an exotic film set. Crystal clear sea, white beach and moored boats framed by Ibiza 6km away. Plenty of cafés and free parking. The sea was warm and full of fish so great for snorkeling and swimming. Just heavenly.

Very nice beach!
Oct 2021 • Couples
We went in Formantera by the fast ferry from Ibiza.
This beach is the best of the island.
Keep in mind that you have to take either a taxi or a scooter to go there, as is it far away from the port.
If it's not windy it is a very nice choice!

Best beach in Europe
Sep 2021
Best beach in Europe - crystal clear shallow waters, so warm in the afternoon that you can simply walk in. Go there early enough, park at "Es Ministre" and walk past the first and may be the second rock to find the best spots.
Avoid the restaurant, it is stupidly expensive.

Stunning place to spend time
Jul 2021 • Friends
This beach offers crystal clear water and powder white sand!Vendors often walk by selling anything from cups of fruit, to fresh coconuts, to sundresses. You can rent a lounge chair with an umbrella for about twenty euros. You can walk to a couple of nearby restaurants. It’s perfect to relax and watch the world go by, or have a swim and be active.

No 1 beach with clearest water in Formentera!
Jul 2021 • Couples
We spent all day cycling around the island of Formentera visiting all recommended beaches only to realise that the one we first visited was the best and could not be topped and that was Playa de Ses Illetes! I am a sucker for clear water and this was the clearest I had ever seen! There was no seaweed or rocks and the water was shallow even far out which meant even those who were not strong swimmers could wade out and enjoy the crystal blue water! I will definitely be returning to this incredible beach and would 10/10 recommend!

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.
