Formentera Beach and Restaurant Guide

Arriving to Formentera by yacht charter from Ibiza is like discovering a new world – life seems calmer, the pace a little slower. The beaches white sand and the water turquoise and warm. This Caribbean-like water gently laps the beaches on the north shores while the southern coastline is more dramatic and equally as beautiful. Here are some of Be Charter Ibiza’s favourite beaches and restaurants on Formentera.

Espalmador – Ses Illetes – Cala Saona – Mitgjorn – Es Calo – Es Pujols

1. ESPALMADOR

• Distance from Marina Ibiza: 25 min by motorboat
• Size: 1km of fine white sand
• Attractions: mud lagoon



Espalmador is a private island which can be found in the north of the island of Formentera. It is not easily accessible except for a cove in the north-east and one in the south. This is the perfect place to drop anchor and enjoy the crystal clear warm water and white sand.

The south cove also features Es Trocadors Walkway – a sandpit that connects Espalmador to Formentera itself.

Others like to come to enjoy the muddy lagoon. Let it dry and then wash it off in the beautiful waters to leave your skin feeling healthier and softer.

The conservation of this island is highly important. Its great beauty is respected by all and you are not allowed to go up on the dunes which cover the vast majority of the island. Enjoy everything it has to offer and then leave it the way nature intended.

2. SES ILLETES

• Distance: 25- 30 min by motorboat
• Activities: Catamaran, paddle surfing, kayaking, windsurfing
• Amenities: sunbeds and umbrellas, lifeguards
• Restaurants: Juan y Andrea, El Pirata, Es Molí de Sal, El Tiburón, Beso Beach.



Ses Illetes is the beach closest to Ibiza if your destination is Formentera. It can be busy but it is also one of the prettiest on the island. The clear calm water, white sand and great variety of restaurants and beach clubs won’t disappoint and make Illetes an ideal place to spend the day onboard one of our boats.



The evenings never go unnoticed. The beach is 0riented almost completely towards the west, and therefore the sunsets are another attraction for this beach. Whether you watch it from your boat or the beach it’s good to have a “sundowner” in hand while listening to the music of the restaurants playing in the background.

Juan y Andrea

One of the most famous restaurants on the island of Formentera, Juan y Andrea has more history than you can imagine. It all started in 1972 when Juan, a fisherman from Formentera, fell in love with Andrea. What started as a small beach bar has now transformed into a world renowned beach restaurant serving some of the best fresh fish on the island.

The location of the restaurant couldn’t be better than this, between the dunes and with incredible views of the blue green waters of Illetas. The tables are decorated in pure white and the service is irreproachable, making this restaurant a beautiful place to spend your boat rental day in Formentera.
