You meet on the pale sand of Ses Salines, the boat’s engine quieting as the captain lifts the anchor and the Mediterranean opens ahead. The speedboat cuts a clean line through turquoise that dares you to dive; in less than 30 minutes the silhouette of Formentera resolves—low dunes, a lighthouse on the horizon, and the white tongue of Es Palmador where shallow water ripples over sugar-fine sand.
