Part of the national park of Ses Salines and Formentera since 1980, the privately owned, uninhabited islet stretches 1.8 miles (3 kilometers) long and is only half a mile (800 meters) wide.
In 2018, Catalan architect Norman Cinnamond and his sister, Rosy, sold the islet to two wealthy Luxembourg businessmen, brothers Christian Cigrang and Jean Cigrang, for €18 million ($19.8 million), according to El PaÃs.
The regional government’s tourism website described the dunes of S’Espalmador, the best-preserved dune system in the Balearic Islands, as having “great ecological value.”

The islet maintains a pristine appearance and is protected by the Island Council, which strictly prohibits any type of construction on the natural reserve.
On Monday (August 13), the Environment Department of the Balearic Islands issued a statement saying that the production company never requested authorization from the Department to carry out the filming and that “preliminary investigation actions have been initiated.”
