Getaway to Formentera

There is a time when the sea changes color. The blue turns turquoise and the white sand background begins to look underwater.

That means Formentera is close.

After a quiet crossing from San Antonio, the boat reaches the waters of Espalmador and Ses Illetes, one of the most impressive places in the Mediterranean.

Everything here seems slower. The water is so clear it invites swimming for hours. Some prefer to walk on the beach, others just float.

If you feel like it, the skipper can book one of the beach restaurants where time seems to stand still.

It's the kind of excursion you remember for years.
