RESPECTED travel publication Lonely Planet has revealed their top ten beaches in the world and this Spanish destination has made the cut.
January blues may have you already considering your next beach getaway and lucky for you, one of the best in the world is right on your doorstep.
Platja Illetes, in Formentera, has been crowned one of the best beaches in the world, thanks to Lonely Planet.
It took the final spot in the ranking, which narrowed down beaches worldwide to find the top ten coastal havens.

Meanwhile, Australia took the top two spots, with Whitehaven Beach in Queensland taking the crown, followed by Squeaky Beach in Victoria.
In third place was Anse Source d’Argent in Seychelles accompanied by Sunset Beach in Thailand in fourth place.
The fifth and sixth spots were taken by European beaches, with Sarakiniko in Greece and Haukland in Norway storming the rankings.
Next was Playa Balandra in Mexico, followed by two USA entries, Pfeiffer Beach and Hanalei Bay.
Platja Illetes, the Lonely Planet choice as one of the best beaches in the world is, as your article says, in Formentera, the lovely small island close to Ibiza. It’s puzzling that you follow this with details of Illetas, the busy resort 10 kms from Palma in Majorca. How the two very different resorts have become confused with each other in the article is very strange and this represents a very clear and obvious error. Looks like somewhat careless journalism at best?
Thanks for clearing that up David, and you are indeed right…
