Cavall d’en Borràs

This beach is known for its panoramic views of nearby Ibiza, offering a beautiful backdrop of the Mediterranean and the distant island skyline. Its proximity to the port makes it easily accessible by foot or bike, allowing visitors to enjoy a relaxing coastal experience just minutes after arriving.

Despite its close location to the port, Cavall d’en Borràs maintains a relatively peaceful atmosphere, rarely becoming overcrowded. The clear, turquoise waters are inviting, though they can occasionally be stirred by passing boats, creating gentle waves along the shore. The beach is ideal for those seeking a more tranquil beach day away from the bustling tourist spots of Formentera, while still being within reach of modern conveniences.

Behind the beach lies a rustic beach restaurant, perfect for grabbing a bite to eat or a refreshing drink. The restaurant provides much-needed shelter from the intense midday sun, making it a great spot to take a break and enjoy some local cuisine while taking in the stunning ocean views.

To reach Cavall d’en Borràs, simply follow the main road from La Savina towards Es Pujols, passing by the serene Estany Pudent lagoon. Turn left into the car park a few hundred yards before the Illetes turnoff. From there, a wooden boardwalk leads you directly through the dunes to the beach. For a more scenic route, you can also access the beach by foot or bicycle via a dedicated pathway that runs from La Savina, making it a convenient and picturesque journey for those seeking a peaceful, natural retreat.
