Ibiza and Formentera have long been known for their crystal-clear waters and stunning beaches. Recently, National Geographic added to this allure by naming the most beautiful beaches in Ibiza and Formentera. The magazine’s selection highlights two must-visit destinations that showcase the paradisiacal essence of Spain’s coastline.

Ibiza’s Cala Saladeta: A Shimmering Gem

Topping the list is Cala Saladeta, a small yet breathtaking beach in Ibiza. Its shallow, sandy bottom and mesmerizing turquoise waters make it an idyllic spot for beach lovers. Cala Saladeta is just a short walk from Cala Salada, easily accessible from Sant Antoni. The beach is usually adorned with small boats that add to its charm. According to National Geographic, this beach is one of Ibiza’s most stunning examples of coastal beauty.

Caló des Mort: Formentera’s Serene Escape

Formentera is no stranger to beautiful beaches, and National Geographic highlights Caló des Mort as one of its most picturesque. Located on the eastern part of the Migjorn bay, this small cove offers calm, almost pool-like waters. Surrounded by vibrant ochre rocks and turquoise seas, it’s a perfect place to unwind and disconnect from daily life.
