ES CAVALL D’EN BORRÀS

Beach access walkway

Es Cavall d’en Borràs beach, also known as Cala d’en Borràs, is a hidden gem located just 2 km from La Savina port. This small cove, with its fine white sand, offers a beautiful turquoise sea with shallow, sandy bottoms, perfect for a relaxing swim. A paradise for those seeking a combination of relaxation and nature.

Its location, west of the salt flats, makes it easily accessible even from the town of Es Pujols, one of the best places to rent an apartment in Formentera.

The nature

From this coastal stretch of the Ses Salines Natural Park, you can admire the majestic islets of Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell, which stand at 382 and 128 meters high respectively. These imposing limestone formations, shrouded in a mysterious aura, seem to emanate an extraordinary energy, particularly noticeable at sunset. An experience to believe!

Behind Es Cavall d’en Borràs beach, there is a precious dune system, covered by a lush pine forest and dense shrubs. This natural habitat not only protects the coast from erosion but also offers a refreshing shade to visitors during hot summer days. The vegetation extends to the Estany Pudent lagoon and the salt flats, creating a unique and ecologically valuable landscape.

The crystal-clear waters and sandy seabed invite you to immerse yourself in the island’s most authentic soul. Here, as on all Formentera beaches, you can choose to spend a day of freedom, bringing everything you need, or be pampered by one of the many chiringuitos. The latter, in addition to offering the inevitable drink, propose delicious fish and meat specialties, although at slightly higher prices.

Finally, being one of the most suggestive areas of the island of Formentera, many boats choose to anchor in this little corner of paradise. But don’t think that the authenticity of the place is altered: its beauty remains unchanged.

Pre-dinner drink

The famous Beso Beach bench

This beach, with its wild charm, is the perfect setting for some of Formentera’s most beloved beach bars. Beso Beach (formerly Big Sur) welcomes you with a hippy-chic atmosphere and contagious energy, perfect for an unforgettable lunch or pre-dinner drink. Keep in mind that it’s very popular, so book online to secure your spot.
Don’t miss the opportunity to immortalize your stay with a photo on the famous seaside bench, with the romantic inscription “no hay verano sin beso” (in English: there’s no summer without a kiss).

At El Tiburón beach bar, you can immerse yourself in a trendy atmosphere, but with your feet firmly planted in the sand. For a more lively experience, Cala Duo awaits you with engaging music and one of the most fun aperitifs on the island. The latter is located in the direction of La Savina, facing a stretch of sea that offers a suggestive view of the port in the distance.

Without a doubt, the most awaited moment of the day is the sunset. When the sun touches the horizon, the atmosphere becomes filled with a special kind of magic. Young and old alike gather to witness this natural spectacle that enchants every time. The warm and enveloping colors of the sky create a romantic and suggestive atmosphere, a perfect moment for reflection and to be carried away by the beauty of nature. An emotion that will stay with you for a long time.

How to get to Es Cavall d’en Borràs

Reaching Es Cavall d’En Borràs beach is very easy. Starting from the port, simply follow the signs for the renowned Ses Illetes beach. Along the way, you’ll find two landmarks: the Cala Duo beach bar on the left, or, a little further on, the entrance to the Beso Beach parking lot. The beach stretches right between these two beach clubs, making it easy to spot.

Both beach bars offer parking nearby, for both scooters and cars. However, it’s important to remember that parking at Beso Beach is paid.
If you prefer not to worry about parking, you can easily reach the beach on foot, by bicycle, or by bus from the port. Distances are short in Formentera, so choose the option that best suits your preferences and enjoy your day at the beach!
