Ses Illetes Beach

Positive experience: The beach itself is beautiful, with fine sand, and in many places, you can gently walk into the water. The western beach is more pleasant, with fewer waves and is more suitable for families. The eastern beach is rougher, with more waves (now and then, you see a surfer) - but there are fewer guests. However, there is no shade and no beach kiosk, just a few really overpriced restaurants. There is also only one restroom at the eastern parking lot, which was extremely unappetizing. To get to the beach, biking or scootering is recommended. On foot, you share the dusty road with cars, scooters, and bicycles, which is not great.

Fantastic experience: Perfect beach, clean and well organized. With paid parking.

Positive experience: One of the best beaches I've visited! I recommend going early (around 8) otherwise it's very complicated to access. The access is paid (per vehicle).

Fantastic experience: Paradise-like place. The Mediterranean Sea bathes it on both sides (30 meters of land separate them). On the west side, the water is calmer, and although it may seem unbelievable, it looks cleaner (crystal clear). You can see Ibiza in the background. To get there, first take the ferry from Ibiza. Then by car for about 15 minutes. Continue along the path to the end and there is parking (free if you arrive before 9 a.m.). It’s now 10 and there are about 30 people here, we’ll see later...

Fantastic experience: The best beach on the island. You have to go very early to enjoy all these almost deserted beaches. Highly recommend driving all the way to the end and parking in the last parking lot of this beach.

Fantastic experience: The beach is absolutely amazing in every way. Except that even though dogs are prohibited on this beach, there are still characters who bring them, and I and many others have to put up with them on the beach, among other things because it is prohibited, and I refer to that. I know there will be some staunch defender of their dog who will say that humans also do their needs in the water....and I don't doubt it, but humans are not prohibited on this beach, dogs are. So those who are hurt, please refrain. Several lifeguards passed by and said absolutely nothing, I suppose to avoid trouble. In about 5 hours, I counted at least 5 dogs, and one of them urinated next to my towel. Other than that, a dream beach.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach. Unfortunately, being the most famous, it gets too crowded with tourists, and due to its proximity to the port, it is the one everyone goes to. I recommend going to see it, and if you seek tranquility, then move to others that are farther away.

Positive experience: Preciosa playa protegida por unos cuantos islotes .Arenas blancas y aguas cristalinas . Poca profundidad ideal, para pasear por alguno de los islotes. En los meses de Julio y Agosto super masificada .Hay que ir pronto o tendrás que esperar para aparcar en coche , millones de motillos de alquiler conducidas por inexpertos y temerarios .Gente en bici y andando . Mucho yate de lujo fondeado en las cercanias y el bote del restaurante no para de hacer viajes para traer la gente de los yates al restaurante .

Positive experience: An absolutely magnificent beach with its crystal clear water, its pink sand at the water's edge, and its extraordinary panorama. You can walk far out, but you can also choose to swim to the small island opposite for the more adventurous. I didn't give 5 stars because during the season (from mid-June to mid-September), it's better to visit and leave before 11 AM, or completely avoid it... From 10:30 AM, hordes of beachgoers arrive by taxi, car, and scooter, from their hotels or from the port and Ibiza. We quickly find ourselves on top of each other... Two special mentions: 1/ the disrespectful people who, not content with laying their towel on yours, blast music from their speaker 2/ the scammers who also come and sit on your head, also with a speaker, attracting many fools who come to trample your towel to buy a rag for 30€ that was probably found for 6 times less on a Chinese dropshipping site...

Fantastic experience: A wonder of nature, crystal clear waters, fine sand, and in a privileged environment. It is definitely worth visiting this beach if you come to Formentera.

Fantastic experience: the enchantment of colors, turquoise water and sand, going a little further it's not even too chaotic despite the previous years

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach, with crystal clear water and white sand

Fantastic experience: It's a beauty, but if you stay in Ibiza you have to pay for a ferry which costs about 30 euros round trip. When you arrive at the Formentera port, you can take a bus for 10 euros, and then you have to walk. Since I wanted to go to the end of the beach, I didn't quite make it, but there were fewer people there, and it was about 2km approximately. For those who wish to visit this beach, they should stay in Formentera directly. But it's a gorgeous beach, with water as blue as the sky. There is a restaurant. I would definitely go back.

Negative experience: Opted for Ses Illetes on our day trip to Formentera as this seems to be the beach everyone goes to.. shouldn't have bothered! €10 each return on the bus which drops you a short walk from the first sandy cove.. this was covered in seaweed despite being rated among the best in the world. We walked on to the second beach which was much nicer to be fair although very crowded. You'll need to take your own food and drinks unless you make a reservation beforehand in one of the three very expensive restaurants. There is a food kiosk that we used attached to the middle restaurant but we paid €59 for two sandwiches and two cold cans. So be warned!! Ses Illetes, over priced, over crowded and overhyped!

Positive experience: The beach is really very beautiful, but this makes it highly sought after, which ultimately makes the experience less pleasant than it could be. The waters are calm with low waves, also due to the boats that circulate nearby. We went on a Sunday and stayed near the restaurant Juan y Andrea. There is an area where bathers cannot enter because it is designated for the restaurant's boats, which spend the day picking up and dropping off the 'celebrities' who stay in the numerous yachts parked just ahead. As there are few waves, it becomes pleasant for children. The sand area is quite small and is obviously entirely occupied by beach chairs and umbrellas, both for rent and those that visitors bring. We were very lucky, as we arrived at 1 PM and about an hour later we managed to rent a pair of chairs and an umbrella for €30. We were informed that the chairs start being rented at 9 AM, but by 8 AM there are already people in line to rent them. So, either you bring your own chair or you go very early. Although the restaurant Juan y Andrea claims it does not have beach chairs, the gentleman who rented us the chairs gave us a ticket with the name... Juan y Andrea. There are vendors on the beach selling water, beer, and soda, usually priced at €4. We accessed the beach by taxi from the port of Formentera. It's not far, but we paid €19. Many people go in their cars or rent cars, bicycles, or scooters, but access is limited and there are few parking spaces. The later you arrive, the farther you end up from the beaches. The problem for those without transportation is the return. We couldn't call the taxi number they provided, and so we had to walk about 1 km in the sun and dirt road to a taxi point near the restaurant El Pirata. There, you depend on luck to wait more or less time for a taxi. In summary, I think the visit is worth it, but I do not intend to return. The cost-benefit is very high and there are more accessible beaches. There is a lot of glamour around this area, and commercial exploitation is very significant.

Fantastic experience: A beach of enormous white sand stretch that can be reached by car or motorcycle along a sandy path or by boat. In this 2020, there are some beach bars closed and the ones open are very expensive. If you go to Formentera, they are a must-visit.

Positive experience: Der Strand ist größtenteils sauber und an einigen Stellen gibts es Rettungsschwimmer. Die Parkplätze sind groß, kosten aber 5€ Parkgebühr pro Tag.

Fantastic experience: The place is a paradise with crystal clear and calm waters.

Fantastic experience: I've never seen such beautiful beaches and clear water.

Fantastic experience: Amazing beach and good place snorkel as well

Fantastic experience: Es una playa maravillosa de aguas cálidas y cristalinas y arena blanca fina. El entorno es 100% salvaje y natural, donde únicamente hace acto de presencia la naturaleza. Éste es un lugar idílico que rebosa paz y tranquilidad y una vez allí sentirás que estás en el paraíso. Nada estropea el momento, todo es perfecto. Y es que la playa de Ses Illetes ofrece a sus visitantes una estampa bucólica. Aparte de sus transparentes aguas y arena blanca como características principales, destacaría la ligera brisa que a veces corre que mitiga la sensación de calor y hace que se esté muy a gusto y también el hecho de que el mar está casi siempre en calma, sin nada de oleaje. Es por ello que recomiendo encarecidamente la práctica del snorkel a todos aquellos exploradores y buceadores que les gusta sumergirse en el mar y que disfrutan del buceo como hobby en la playa. La experiencia se disfruta muchísimo. El poder disfrutar de esta playa, aunque solo sean unas horas, justifica el viaje a Formentera y es que cada año aparece en los rankings como una de las mejores playas del mundo (el título de mejor playa de España ya se le queda corto). Nada que envidiar a las famosas e infinitas playas del Caribe o de la polinesia francesa. En España tenemos un trozo de paraíso en el mediterráneo y hay que aprovecharlo. A Ses Illetes se puede llegar en coche o en moto. Lo ideal, si vas en pareja, es alquilar una moto por la facilidad de parking, pero si vais en grupos de amigos no queda más remedio que coger un coche. En todo caso hay que llegar (muy) temprano a la playa porque el parking es limitado y cuando el aforo está completo se cierra el acceso y no se puede entrar hasta que otro coche salga. El parking es de pago (4-6€ dependiendo del mes). No hay opción de dejar el coche en otro sitio y no pagar, puesto que hay un control de acceso en el único camino que va a la playa y allí es donde se paga el parking. Es decir, para acceder a la playa tienes que pagar si o si y ese pago incluye el parking. Nosotros en el verano de 2020 llegamos a las 10h y ya había muchísimos coches. Y eso que fue un verano con mucha menos afluencia de lo normal por el covid. En cualquier otro año normal, me imagino que o llegas a las 9-9.30h o no tienes sitio en el parking. Y lo normal es que la gente vaya a pasar todo el día o toda la mañana mínimo por lo que una vez el parking está completo, hasta las 12-13h no se va nadie. Por el contrario, si lo que quieres es pasar la tarde, al mediodía es buen momento para llegar, pues habrá mucha gente que se vaya a comer a restaurantes a otras zonas de la isla y el parking se vacíe (nosotros hicimos eso, llegamos a las 10h y sobre las 13h nos fuimos y vimos que mucha gente también se iba al mediodía). En definitiva, que si quieres ir a Ses Illetes por la mañana hay que madrugar y mucho, pero una vez allí te darás cuenta que habrá merecido la pena.

Fantastic experience: Worth the long journey to this spot. Amazing, bring a snorkel and water shoes. Also bring some snacks and drinks as it is quite remote.

Fantastic experience: It's a very picturesque place, there's a small strip of land that separates the sea, with one side rough and the other calm, featuring different shades of color and white sand.

Fantastic experience: Playa pa guapa está, parece del caribe o algo así del paraíso no encuentro como describir lo impresionante que es, muy muy tranquila para ir en familia llevar los mejores equipos de buceo, y bastante bebida refrescante y algo de picar para pasar el día y después comer. En buen restaurante de la isla, recomiendolevar buenas zapatilla o chanclas para caminar a lo largo de la playa al igual que buen protector solar

Fantastic experience: Spiaggia senza dubbio bellissima estremamente però affollata, non trovavo un posticino per l'asciugamano. Verso il pomeriggio e vicino alle famiglie ho trovato un po di pace ed una piccola riva trasparente. Il ristorante molto bello vista magnifica e tutto in legno ma super anch'esso affollato perciò non mi ha invogliato ad ordinare qualcosa. Siamo arrivati con il motorino noleggiato all'arrivo. Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo per tutto il giorno e riesci a girarci per tutta l'isola.

Fantastic experience: La mejor playa para bañarte en Menorca. Agua muy tranquila, se pueden ver algunos pececillos si te llevas gafas de buceo.
