Ferry Ibiza - Formentera - Ibiza with Ulises / Captain Hook

 

The stunning and virtually unspoiled island of Formentera is one of the few remaining secrets of not just the Balearics, but the whole of Europe. This idyllic hideaway is just a 35-minute ferry journey south of Ibiza – and you can take any of the bottom-glass boats, Ulises Cat, Ulises Cat 2 or Captain Hook, to visit this little paradise. As well as glass bottoms, the ferries also have snack bars and open decks boasting panoramic views.

There are daily departures and the tickets, which are the cheapest in Ibiza, are all return.

Formentera is famed for its mile after mile of virgin beaches of golden sands surrounded by crystalline waters as well as its lack of high rises. Visitors usually make a beeline for beaches such as Es Cavall d'en Borras, Es Caló, Illetes, Es Pujols, Migjorn, s'Arenal and many more as well as the islet of s’Espalmador, which is separated from the main island by a channel that barely reaches shoulder height. Formentera has become a byword for chilling out.

The secret of such clear waters and long beaches, which mark Formentera out from the rest of the Mediterranean, lies in the posidonia prairie grass that surrounds the island.
