It also achieved a sixth place among the top ten beaches in the world. You will feel as if you left the Mediterranean Sea for a while and moved to the Caribbean idyll.

Illetes Beach is located on a long, narrow peninsula. It is called the paradise of Formentera thanks to the combination of fine white sand, beautiful blue sky and the most crystal clear water. The beach is located just 5 km away from the port of La Savina. It is easily accessible by bike, bus, taxi, motorbike or car. When renting a car or scooter, remember about the parking fee when renting a car or scooter. The beach is located in the National Park.

The word Illetas means “islets” as there are many tiny islets along the beach where you can swim ashore or even walk to. The further you go, the fewer tourists you will find on the beach, especially when you reach the nudist area. The nudist beach is very natural and there are no sunbeds.

From the end of this small peninsula, the neighbouring island Espalmador can be easily seen. Although it seems very close and easy to reach, the water level rises during the day. You may have a problem coming back. We advise you not to cross on your own because the sea currents might be quite strong. If you want to visit the unspoiled island of Espalmador, we recommend taking one of the organized excursions.

There are many famous restaurants on Illetas Beach that offer delicious food, especially the fish dishes. The most famous are: Juan and Andrea, Beso Beach and El Pirata.

If you want to go there, it’s worth remembering to reserve a table well in advance.

There are no kiosks, beach bars on Illetas Beach that sell reasonably priced food or drinks. There are also no grocery stores. It is much better to stock up on food in advance in one of the supermarkets in the port.
