Tourists and travelers should bear in mind that Formentera’s natural beaches are very protected to avoid big agglomerations.

Cala en Baster is a cove of stone and rocks situated in urbanization next to Sant Ferran de Ses Roques. It is one of the few quiet places in Formentera during the high season. Despite being no restaurants or amenities around the area, the closest location to find them is Sant Ferran de Ses Roquetes to the west and Es Calo to the east of the coastline. Our favorite restaurants to have a delightful bite are: Michelin Star Can Dani, newly open Maricastaña, renowned Blue Bar, and delicious authentic Italian Pizzeria Macondo.

Cala en Baster is spotted in the interior of the bay of Tramuntana. As said before, the marine conditions are not only perfect for anchoring sailing boats but also for diving into the turquoise waters. The diving lover will be able to discover all sorts of marine species more than seven meters in depth. However, sailors should keep an eye on the possible sandbanks formations that can occur on both edges of the entrance. In the inlet part of the bay, there is an in-depth of over 10 meters down. Usually, during high season peaks, a lifeguard is present at this cove overseeing swimmers and boats.
