Calo of the Dead

Everyone visiting Ibiza should consider catching a ferry to Formentera, off the island’s south coast.

Formentera has an ambience and appearance a world away from most Mediterranean destinations.

Firstly the beaches (Playa de Ses Illetes, Calo des Mort) look almost tropical, like the kind you’d find in the Caribbean, with turquoise waters and sugar-white sand.

To get about Formentera’s unspoiled interior you can hire a bike for the day and then be free to set off along dusty tracks that snake through little whitewashed hamlets.
