The beauty of the Natural Park of Ses Salines d’Eivissa i Formentera and the beach of Ses Illetes is unmatched. It was named the second best beach in Spain, perfect for swimming, snorkelling and lying in the sun, just enjoy!

The lighthouse of Cap de Barbaria: It is the southernmost point of the island, the closest to the African coasts (known as barbarians) from where the island was attacked several times, and from there its name could have originated.
