Choosing the right place to sleep in Formentera is an essential step to fully enjoy your holiday. Formentera is an island to be experienced, from the early hours of the morning until the late hours of the night, and there are many accommodations offering various levels of comfort, located in excellent locations close to services or in contact with nature.
Whether you opt for a hotel or a flat, the accommodation should allow you to recharge your batteries so that you are ready to set off again to explore Formentera. Although the facilities are all more or less located in quiet surroundings, given the small size of the island all services will be within walking distance or a few minutes’ drive.
Below we have selected for you some of the most popular resorts in the pearl of the Balearic archipelago.
Located in the north-east of Formentera, close to beautiful beaches and a few kilometres from the La Savina pier, Es Pujols is an old fishing village. Despite the tourist boom, especially during the summer, it has managed to retain its traditional appearance, still counting only 600 inhabitants.
Es Pujols is a good compromise for those who want to enjoy the magic of Formentera without sacrificing a certain amount of comfort. During the high season, however, it can be difficult to find available accommodation, as the resort is also taken by storm by many young people, drawn here by the lively nightlife.
La Savina, Formentera’s main port, is an excellent choice for those who want a convenient and strategic location. This resort offers a range of accommodation from small hotels to holiday flats. Staying here is particularly advantageous for those arriving or departing by ferry, or for those wishing to take boat trips to Ibiza or the other Balearic Islands.
La Savina also offers a good selection of restaurants, bars and shops. From the harbour area, it is easy to reach Formentera’s famous salt flats and Illetes beach, considered one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean.
Sant Francesc Xavier is the capital of Formentera and the administrative and cultural heart of the island. This picturesque town offers a more authentic and less touristy experience. Here you will find boutique hotels, bed and breakfasts and holiday homes that allow you to immerse yourself in the daily life of the island.
The main square, with its fortified 18th century church, is the centre of social life. Accommodation in Sant Francesc Xavier is ideal for those seeking a central location to explore the whole island, with easy access to public transport and essential services.
This resort is famous for its beach of the same name, which stretches for more than 8 kilometres along the south coast of Formentera. Thanks to the extent of the beach strip, even in high season this place will seem less chaotic than other resorts.
Mitjorn is one of the most unspoilt and wild beaches on the island, although there is a wide choice of flats, hotels and houses to rent. The part near the Mola lighthouse is a popular area for naturists and lovers of diving and snorkelling.
Not far from Mitjorn is another place known for the beauty and colours of the sea: Es Caló de Sant Augustì, a small village where the remains of Can Blai, an old fortress from Roman times, can still be seen.
The colours of the sea here are unique, due to the presence of caves, rich in a particular mineral, that colour the waters. Despite the tranquillity of this area, Es Calo also offers a wide variety of services, such as restaurants, bars and shops. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy a cocktail at sunset in one of the chiringuitos by the sea.
Choosing a Bed and Breakfast in Formentera has many advantages. This type of accommodation provides a more authentic and intimate experience than large hotels and they are often run by locals who can recommend the best hidden spots on the island.
