Adding even more to its unique charm, Playa de Ses Illetes is also sometimes referred to as the pink beach, named so for the crushed coral dust that sometimes gives sections of the sand a pink hue.
The beach is also relatively accessible, lying in wait just a 10 minute drive or moped ride away from the nearby resort of Es Pujols.
Often referred to as Ibiza’s “discrete little sister”, Formentera is one of Spain’s sun-soaked Balearic islands, located just a ferry ride away from the coast of Barcelona.
The pure azure water and the soft white-gold sand make the beach look like the backdrop of a Bond film.
The stunning location was recently featured in Tripadvisor’s Travellers' Choice Awards: Best of the Best Beaches for 2025, ranking in the top 20 European beaches.
