Spain has a wealth of beautiful holiday destinations within the mainland, and its vast numbers of islands. As such, the country is not only loved by travelers around the world, but also loved by travelers. Last year, Spain broke records and welcomed 94 million tourists. While many people will crash into more popular spots in the country, such as Barcelona, Madrid, or the islands including Tenerife, Mallorca and Ibiza, the gem is the ideal place to enjoy the “relaxed atmosphere” that boasts a 23c heat in May. And it happens to have one of the best beaches in the world.
Just 20 km below Ibiza, Formentera is a beautiful island known for its pristine, beautiful beaches. However, there are some that are particularly attracting global attention, especially as they are listed on the Lonely Planet list of the 10 best beaches around the world. Located in the north of the island, Platja Illetes is Formentera's most famous beach.
The beach's fine white sand stretches over 450 meters and is accompanied by turquoise-like bodies of water. Visitors can also participate in many activities there. These include windsurfing, kitesurfing, sailing, stand-up paddles and snorkeling.
The beach also has an impressive 4.3 star rating on TripAdvisor and has 743 reviews. One visitor said: “It's a great place to stay for a day. It's easy to moor and protected by a small island. There are all good restaurants on the beach, from ice cream to nice meals. Highly recommended.”

A beach with bar, restaurant, bathroom and public sunbeds (Umbrella, 2 sunbeds, safe to spend around 20 euros). Bar prices are slightly higher. In the afternoon it's very crowded, but still spectacular! ”
With just as great an island as this, exploring the incredible landscape is a must.
The Formentera exploration can be done on horseback, visitors have the opportunity to choose from a shorter route, designed for less experienced riders, perfect for longer and more experienced riders. Two options ensure that no one misses the adventure.
For those who like to shop, the Arts Market, which opens from the beginning of May until mid-October, is the perfect stop. Here you can find products designed and produced throughout the island and create great souvenirs.
