This initial stop lasts about an hour, offering stunning views of the islands and sea. The highlight here is S’Espalmador, an island only accessible by sea that boasts pristine beaches and El Paso, a natural sandbar connecting to Formentera.

Espalmador’s protected status means there are no bars, restaurants, or hotels, preserving its untouched natural charm. Visitors can paddleboard or swim in the calm, clear waters. The area’s flat waters are perfect for paddle surfing, making this spot a favorite for water sports enthusiasts.

Unique Water Activities at S’Espalmador and El Paso

At S’Espalmador, the natural environment is outstanding for paddleboarding, swimming, and snorkeling. The absence of infrastructure and the pristine natural surroundings make it a peaceful place to unwind.

Visiting Playa de Ses Illetes: The Mediterranean’s Jewel

You have the option to dine at beachside restaurants or enjoy a lunch on the boat. This is a prime opportunity to take photos of the striking landscape and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of one of the region’s most famous beaches.

Exploring Cala Saona’s Rocky Caves and Reddish Landscapes

The next stop, Cala Saona, introduces visitors to Formentera’s rugged beauty. This rocky shoreline is known for hidden caves and unique reddish landscapes. Over 2 hours, you can paddle around the area, discovering caves and swimming in crystal-clear waters.

The combination of rock formations and transparent waters makes Cala Saona ideal for relaxing and exploring. It’s a quieter, more secluded spot perfect for those seeking a more natural and less crowded environment.

Sunset Sailing and Return to Ibiza

As the day winds down, the boat begins its return journey to Ibiza, heading back during the evening hours.
