The best places to visit in Formentera by boat
Each trip offers a unique way to discover the island and enjoy the Mediterranean at the group's pace. These are some of the must-see places you can visit during a boat tour of Formentera.
Ses Illetes, the most iconic image of Formentera
Located within the Ses Salines Natural Park, Ses Illetes is one of the island's most famous beaches. Its stretch of light sand and shallow waters create an unforgettable landscape of blues and turquoises.
Cala Saona, cliffs and calm waters
Cala Saona combines a small sandy beach with reddish cliffs and crystal-clear waters. Its small size and natural surroundings give it a different character from the larger beaches of northern Formentera.
Levante Beach, nature facing the Mediterranean
On the other side of the Es Trucadors peninsula is Levante beach, more open to the sea and, sometimes, less crowded than Ses Illetes.
Its long stretches of sand invite you to calmly enjoy the scenery. It's one of those places where the color of the water and the feeling of spaciousness perfectly encapsulate the natural essence of Formentera.
It's Pujols and it's Caló
Es Pujols offers a combination of coastal scenery and the vibrant atmosphere of one of Formentera's liveliest areas. Es Caló, on the other hand, retains a distinct maritime character, with its traditional piers and crystal-clear waters.
Both places showcase two different sides of the island: the Mediterranean atmosphere of Es Pujols and the tranquility of one of the most charming corners of Formentera.
Espalmador Island: a paradise between Ibiza and Formentera
North of Formentera lies the island of Espalmador, one of the most special natural areas in the Pitiusas Islands. Its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters make it an exceptional place to enjoy from a boat.
Among its most well-known spots are S'Alga beach and La Torreta beach. The absence of large buildings helps to preserve its wild character and tranquil atmosphere.
