Latest reviews on Formentera's beaches

Formentera R
10 Ezra Cole

The staff at the beach were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The prices at the nearby restaurants were quite reasonable, especially in comparison. We enjoyed a delicious avocado and toast dish for only €9, and a glass of wine was just €5.

Platja de les Illetes
8 Andrezza

A true paradise! The early morning hours bring a tranquil atmosphere - perfect for snorkeling and discovering the vibrant wildlife. As the day progresses, small boats carrying music-loving revellers arrive, transforming the atmosphere. In the evening, the beach is peaceful again and the view of the Vedra Islands is breathtaking. Ibiza's best beach, without a doubt!

Platja de les Illetes II
6 Yahya Zayd

An amazing spot for a relaxing getaway. From the crystal clear waters to the inviting sand, it's a paradise for beachgoers. The stunning views of the blue ocean make it a must-visit destination for any beach holiday. I highly recommend it for a memorable vacation.

Platja Es Arenals
6 Xaviera Pilar Mireya

Nothing special - the water is a dull turquoise and there's not much to see. The length of the beach may be convenient for social distancing, but it's shallow, making it a good spot for young kids, but not for anyone looking for a more interesting experience.

4 Oliver Andersson

There are numerous areas for improvement in this beach review. The food, despite being priced for an upscale experience, is only average. The fish was somewhat overcooked, bordering on dry, which was quite disappointing when compared to the other competing restaurants in the area. Overall, there are far superior dining options available on the island.

Platja des Copinyar
8 Tommaso Tinti

That place is top-notch! It has all the basic amenities you need for a perfect day at the beach.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 7 beaches in the island, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the island is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 27.2°C and water up to 27.2°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 14.5°C and water to 14.9°C.
