ESPALMADOR

With a fast boat we will take you to visit the most exclusive island of the Formentera archipelago: Esplamador which is located within the protected Ses Salines Natural Park of Ibiza and Formentera. The peculiarity of Espalmador is that it is a private island, since immemorial historical times. However, it remains subject to a very strict absolute ban on building anything there, with the exception of the two existing houses of the current owners, a wealthy family from Luxembourg. Precisely because there is no type of construction, remember to bring everything you might need. Water (fundamental, you cannot buy it on the island), sun cream, hat, beach towel, sunglasses, an umbrella, mask fins, snorkel and anything else you think you might need to enjoy the sun and the sea in this spectacular place. It is a desert island, with a wild nature, a true uncontaminated paradise, where sand dunes brought by the sea and the wind have naturally formed. These dunes owe their existence and survival thanks to low vegetation that protects them. These low shrubs draw the precious humidity from the sea that allows them to survive, grow and propagate. Precisely for this reason the dunes are surrounded by a fence, very suggestive of natural rope, to warn the unwary visitor not to climb them so as not to damage this fragile ecosystem. The interior of the island can also be visited by following a path on wooden walkways specially positioned to protect the ecosystem. Following the path that winds through the interior of the island, you will reach some sulphurous mud pools, in which however it is absolutely forbidden to bathe. But the spectacular nature of Espalmador is given by its very white beaches, as if they were coral sand, sprinkled at times with pink sand resulting from sea erosion of a fragile type of red coral that grows at shallow depths. Furthermore, the sea that laps this pristine island is of a spectacular color and transparency, thanks above all to the reflection of the quartz contained in the sand. Precisely because of these characteristics, this island has often been cited on the web as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. We will leave you on this fantastic island to walk along its beaches, bathe in its crystal clear waters or explore its interior by walking on specially designed wooden walkways.
