Best for skinny dipping
Nick Mayhew, author of The World’s Best Nude Beaches

Formentera is only a 30-minute ferry ride from Ibiza but a world apart in terms of atmosphere and tranquility. Playa Migjorn is 10km long but has only one medium-sized hotel in the middle of it so it’s an ideal place to try skinny dipping for the first time. It’s not a die-hard naturist beach, it’s easy to find and very relaxed… The World’s Best Nude Beaches is published by Lifestyle Press.
