Playa de Ses Illetes

Formentera’s Playa de Ses Illetes delivers the clearest turquoise waters in the Balearic Islands, with visibility exceeding 30 metres along its 1 km white-sand shoreline. The water temperature averages 24°C in peak summer, ideal for snorkelling. In sand purity and water clarity, it outperforms #4 Cala Macarella, which has equally stunning hues but slightly lower visibility. Its shallow, calm waters make it family-friendly, yet it draws a fraction of the crowds found on mainland beaches like those near Barcelona.
