The Best of Formentera

Ibiza Formenteras Top Places

Take a ferry from Ibiza to visit its neighboring island of Formentera, its gorgeous small town, and two of its postcard-perfect beaches.

As tourism in Formentera is tied to environmental ethics, visitors and development are limited. As a result, those who choose to explore Formentera are rewarded with epic views of the Balearics natural beauty. After arriving by ferry, you’ll visit two of the island’s most famous beaches: Platja de Ses Illetes, an unimaginably idyllic sand beach straddling the island’s narrowest point, and Platja Es Pujols, nearer to the center and the perfect spot for having lunch, coffee, or a shopping spree.
