Formentera in a Day: The Perfect Private Trip from Ibiza

The calm little sister

Formentera gets half the visitors Ibiza does and twice the turquoise water per square metre of beach.

1. Ses Illetes

Considered one of Europe's best beaches, with white sand and Caribbean-clear water.

2. Cala Saona

A sheltered cove, ideal for a relaxed lunch overlooking the cliffs.

3. Getting there by private boat

No ferry schedules to work around, with a stop to swim in open water along the way.

4. Eating on the island

Fresh-fish beach shacks facing the sea, without Ibiza's high-season queues.

5. The perfect day

Morning departure, beach and lunch, back to Ibiza in time for dinner and the night ahead.
