The world's largest travel website, Trip Advisor, have revealed their 2017 Travellers' Choice Awards for Best Beaches. Unsurprisingly, two of Ibiza's beaches have reached the top 10 in Spain: Ses Illetes in Formentera at number 2 and Cala Comte at number 7.

Chosen by millions of visitors from around the world, these awards are determined by the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for beaches on Trip Advisor over the last 12 months. Ses Illetes, which also reached number 6 in Europe's best beaches, stands out for its "Endless sea, fine sand, spectacular views, yachts, fancy stalls, Ibiza on the horizon", while Cala Comte is described as "Probably the best beach on the island!".

The neighbouring island of Mallorca boasts Spain's third-best beach according to Trip Advisor reviewers, Playa de Muro, while Playa de Alcúdia is number 9. Five Spanish beaches have been chosen among Europe's top 15, with La Concha in San Sebastián selected as the very best in the continent and the 6th in the world.
