Ideal route for a day in Formentera: the essentials Once you arrive in Formentera, start your tour with some of its most iconic places. This is the most recommended route for a single day: Ses Illetes Beach and Llevant: your first stop Located in the Ses Salines Natural Park, these two beaches with white sand and turquoise waters are considered among the best in the Mediterranean. They are perfect for starting the day with a swim or a relaxing walk. Arrive early to avoid crowds, especially in high season. Es Caló d’es Mort and hidden coves From Ses Illetes, you can head south along the coast until you reach Es Caló d’es Mort, a small cove nestled between cliffs. Its rocky and wild environment makes it a perfect place for snorkelling or simply to disconnect. Along the way, you can also discover other lesser-known coves if you go by motorbike or bike. Cap de Barbaria Lighthouse: views and sunset You cannot leave without visiting this emblematic lighthouse, immortalised in films and postcards. The road to it is an experience in itself: a narrow road in the middle of a desert-like landscape that takes you to the southernmost point of the island. If your schedule allows, it is a magical place to watch the sunset. Village of Sant Francesc: culture, shops and cafés Before returning to the port, stop by Sant Francesc Xavier, the capital of Formentera. Its white church, small local shops, ice cream parlours and terraces invite you to take a quiet stroll and take home a souvenir of your visit.
