Platja de Ses Illetes, Formentera

This stunning beach must be seen to be believed. Platja de Ses Illetes is frequently recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches in Spain, and it ranks alongside certain Caribbean rivals in terms of beauty. The name of the beach is derived from the six islets that sit just off the coast and provide additional protection from the Mediterranean seas.

Crystalline seas wash into beautiful white sands, where you can spend hours relaxing in paradise. Platja de Ses Illetes is only a little sand spit that juts out into the water and divides the sea in half.

The narrow strip of sand, which is surrounded on both sides by the sea, is popular with day-trippers, but most people come here to splash around in the brilliant turquoise seas that surround the sand. The ocean is so shallow that it's quite warm - so much so that reclining in the shallows seems more like taking a bath!
