Top #7 do to list on Fomentera's island: #1 Ses Illetes an endless sea.

A week of vacation may not be sufficient to recharge all the energy lost during the last year just ended.

However, the right location and the right advices can make these seven days of holiday unique, unforgettable and almost endless. The secret is to get carried away by the magic of the place, along with its smells, tastes and sounds. We have to listen to the sound of nature, in particular, to the sound of silence, while the wind ruffles the hair there and the sea breeze caresses us.

This image is nothing else than the embodiment of the soul of Formentera, small pearl of the Mediterranean sea, where the earthly and spiritual dimension of each of us come together to give life to an unforgettable holiday experience.

Let's start...

Below you will find a selection of unmissable experiences to live on the "ISLA", especially for those who travel to Formentera for the first time. Of course the things to do are many more, according to personal tastes, but I think these are the essential steps for those who experience this trip for the first time. With these travel tips you can print in your memory an unforgettable experience, as only this magic "ISLA" is able to bring to life!

# 1 Ses Illetes: an endless sea.

I spoke about the beach of Ses Illetes in one of my previous post, so I suggest you to read it for completeness: http://travelaround01.blogspot.it/2016/02/playa-de-ses-illetes-formentera-la.html 

What to say? At first is necessary to remember how this heaven on earth, that is numbered among the Unesco world heritage, has managed to win, for the year 2016, the first position in the ranking of the most beautiful beaches in Europe and the 7th position among the most beautiful beaches in the world.

How to blame ??

Speaking about Ses Illetes, trying to describe it, is very difficult, because everyone need to live it personally, but we try: you look at a natural swimming pool, where its crystal clear waters have all shades of blue.

Spend a day at Illetes is an amazing satisfying experience from all points of view. Swim and dive in its waters is an all-encompassing experience for regenerating our senses: travel tip #1, getting carried away without delay to the water to regain the lost sense of peace. Ses illetes is located on the western side of the peninsula of Trucador and is long several hundred meters or even several kilometers, then: travel tip #2, walk on the shoreline barefoot, stay in touch with nature, sometimes do a bathroom and still walk enjoying the endless stretches of white sand.

Abandoned the spiritual and metaphysical side of this paradise, we move to the practical aspects.

Travel tip #3: bring with you a beach umbrella, high sunscreen lotion, water, fruit, sandwiches, salads and everything needed for a lunch at the beach. Even if there are some restaurants and "chiriguitos", the prices are quite expensive.

At least, don't forget that this beach is located inside the natural park of the "Ses Salines" and to access it, if you want to use motorized vehicles (like scooters, quads, motorcycles and cars), you must pay a toll, on the contrary nothing it is due for  pedestrian access or with public buses, bicycles and taxis.

Then you'll find some pics about Ses Illeset, taken by me, and a link to my youtube channel NinaIsMore to show you the colors, the essence and beauty of this "Arcadia": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXtL6_b_H54&list=PLIl9aUbxS6urJqPksdWNzprtmNYfIttZk&index=7

Ses Illetes, Formentera

[All images are protected by copyright and the production is reserved].

Playa de ses Illetes, Formentera, the most beautiful beach in Europe.

Of course the most beautiful beach of Formentera is Playa de ses Illetes, located in the Natural Park of Saline (UNESCO), on the western side of the peninsula Trucador, between Punta des Pas and Plageta des Carregador, behind Platja de Llevant .

Playa de ses Illetes literally means beach of the  little islands, because it's rounded by various islets that dampen the entry of waves and currents, making it a real natural pool. You can not say the same for Platja de Llevant, on the east side, that's exposed to currents and strong breezes and  represents the ideal location for surfers, windsurfers and kitesurfing.

Thanks to the fine white sand, with shades of pink and turquoise water, ses Illetes allows us to understand what means to be in a true paradise on earth: it's a real paradise, easy to reach with a one-way ticket, because nobody wants to came back home!!

The seabed is a real prairie poseidonie stated, also, World Heritage Site, ideal for those who enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving, although threatened by suction anchors of the luxurious yachts moor, in summer, in the bay .

Since the beach is situated inside the natural park to access it, if you use motorized vehicles (scooters, quads, motorcycles and cars), you must pay a toll, on the contrary nothing is due to pedestrian access, with public buses, bicycles and taxis.

Rates change according to the season, low-medium-high season, such as changing from a minimum of € 2.00 = in June to a maximum of € 4,00 = in July-August for scooters, rather than a sum equal to € 8,00 = for cars in the month of July-August. The ticket is valid for a full day from 9 am to 19 pm.

Alternatively, for those who are on holiday on the island of Ibiza there is the possibility of day trips from the port of Ibiza, Playa den Bossa or Figueretas to the port of La Savina Formentera, or directly on the beach of Ses Illetes. This definitely represents an opportunity to diversify the holiday and visit the nearby Formentera and the beautiful Ses Illetes.

Here's to you some code to get a discount on the price for online purchase of boat tickets, which, for non-residents, sometimes are more extensive than the air flight tickets:

-> Promotional code 2016_MAYSI € 37.38 = roundtrip for on-line bookings, as well as free bus to the harbor and back, on www.trasmapi.com site;

-> Promotional code ESTATE123 € 37.80= roundtrip for on-line bookings, on the site www.mediterraneapitiusa.com/en/;

What else?? Ses Illetes is one of those places to visit at least once in life, a true paradise on earth, that everyone can reach!!
