A private boat trip from San Antonio to Formentera is one of the most unforgettable experiences you can have while visiting Ibiza. The route offers a perfect mix of crystal-clear waters, hidden coves, and breathtaking natural beauty.
Here’s a look at what you can explore along the way — and why this journey is truly special.
🏝️ Formentera – The Jewel of the Mediterranean
Your main destination, Formentera, is often called the Caribbean of Europe — and for good reason. Its turquoise waters and white sandy beaches are simply unmatched. Once you arrive, you can drop anchor and swim in some of the clearest waters in the Balearic Islands.
Moreover, the relaxed atmosphere and charming beach bars make it the perfect place to unwind. You’ll quickly feel the island’s peaceful rhythm and natural beauty all around you.
🌊 Espalmador – A Hidden Paradise
Before reaching Formentera, your boat can stop at Espalmador, a small, uninhabited island located just north of it. This protected nature reserve is famous for its shallow, transparent waters and soft, white sand.
Swimming here feels like being in a natural pool in the middle of the sea — calm, peaceful, and completely magical. In addition, it’s an ideal stop for those who love quiet beaches and pure nature.
🏖️ Ses Illetes Beach – Pure Perfection
No trip to Formentera is complete without visiting Ses Illetes Beach, consistently ranked among the most beautiful beaches in the world. This long stretch of white sand, surrounded by shimmering turquoise water, looks like a scene from a postcard.
It’s ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or simply relaxing on deck while admiring the view.
🍴 Lunch at Ses Illetes Beach – Dining by the Sea
While at Ses Illetes, you can enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the famous beachfront restaurants. Many of them offer boat pick-up service, meaning they’ll collect you directly from your yacht by tender.
Some of the best options include:
Juan y Andrea – A long-standing favorite serving fresh seafood and Mediterranean dishes right on the sand.
Beso Beach – Known for its lively atmosphere, stylish setting, and modern Spanish cuisine.
El Pirata – A relaxed option perfect for families and casual dining with stunning sea views.
As a result, dining here becomes more than just a meal — it’s a full sensory experience, with your feet in the sand and Ibiza on the horizon.

⛰️ Es Vedrà, Atlantis & Cala d’Hort – Ibiza’s Natural Wonders
One of the main advantages of starting your trip from San Antonio is the chance to visit some of Ibiza’s most iconic landmarks on the way.
Sail past the mystical Es Vedrà, a dramatic limestone rock that rises from the sea and is often linked to local legends. Nearby, you can explore Atlantis, a secret cove with fascinating rock formations and turquoise lagoons.
Finally, don’t miss Cala d’Hort, a stunning beach with one of the best views of Es Vedrà — perfect for a refreshing swim or a quick photo stop.
🌅 Cala Conta – Turquoise Waters and Stunning Views
Another highlight along the route is Cala Conta, one of the most beautiful beaches in Ibiza. Its crystal-clear water comes in many shades of blue, and the sandy seabed makes it perfect for snorkeling.
In addition, the view of small rocky islands offshore makes this spot ideal for swimming and taking pictures.
🌇 Sunset at Café Mambo or Café del Mar
If you choose an afternoon or sunset charter, your day will end in true Ibiza style. As you return to San Antonio, stop near the famous Café Mambo or Café del Mar to watch the sun disappear below the horizon.
The sky turns golden and pink, while chill-out music fills the air. It’s the perfect way to close an incredible day on the water.
