The smallest of the main Balearic Islands, Formentera is more laid back and generally less touristy than its bigger neighbors. It doesn’t have an airport, so most arrivals are by ferry from Ibiza Town or Denia on the Costa Blanca. Unlike the other Balearics, it's mostly flat, making it good for cycling and hiking. However, it does still have the beautiful beaches, craggy coves and crystal clear waters so typical of this island group. Another contrast is Formentera’s liberal policy on nude sunbathing - it's allowed on many beaches. One of the longest beaches is at Platja de Migjorn, where the white sands shelve gently into the sea. On the other side of this stretch of land is Es Caló, where most Formentera apartments by the beach are found. The sand dunes at Es Pujols are also fantastic, and just inland is Estanh Pudent, a large lagoon that attracts rich birdlife. On the other side of the lagoon, La Savina is the arrival point for ferries and a good starting point for Formentera sailing trips. The capital, Sant Francesc Xavier, has a whitewashed, 18th-century church at its center and a few Formentera hotels with pools on Booking.com.

The breakfast was superb… and Sarah went out of her way to make sure that I was comfortable during my stay. The furnishings were so beautiful, I spent so much time taking photos of just the room!
The garden is gorgeous! Rooms were beautiful, so close to the beach as well. Everyone who works here is very helpful and sweet. I would definitely stay here again.

Probably the best town on the island, with nice beach, good choice of bars and restaurants and shops. Perfect area for families or couples. Easy access to the rest of the island by car, moped or cycle- everything within 10-15 minutes drive.
If you want best value for money choose the bars and restaurants away from the beachfront.

Playa Mjgjorn is a long stretch of beach, some bits wider and better than others. I'd tend to stick to properties to the west of the south coast for best beach option and access. It's a lovely spot and if you have transportation you can get around easily. Number L2 bus serves Ca Mari well.
Great sunsets, and some nice little beach bars dotted around.
Limited vegetarian options throughout!

San Ferrán de ses Roques is a hidden gem in the heart of Formentera, perfect for those who want to discover the island's authentic soul. It’s a welcoming and peaceful village, yet full of life, especially in the evenings when the streets come alive with locals and tourists mingling in bars and restaurants.
One of the things I appreciated most is the relaxed and genuine atmosphere. You can find artisan markets here, with local artists displaying their creations, and small cafés where you can stop for a coffee or a beer. San Ferrán has preserved its authenticity, far from mass tourism, offering a much more laid-back experience compared to the busier areas of the island.
As for the food, the village restaurants serve delicious dishes, many based on fresh seafood and local products. I highly recommend trying the tapas at one of the traditional restaurants: simple yet flavorful, they’ll make you feel like a true islander.
Additionally, its central location makes San Ferrán an ideal base for exploring Formentera: within a few minutes by scooter or bike, you can reach the most beautiful beaches and interesting spots on the island. It’s the perfect place for those looking for authenticity, tranquility, and a taste of local culture.

Quiet area but a lovely hotel and exactly what we were looking for. A 15 minute taxi from the main port and the bars and restaurants in es Pujols. You can get to anywhere on the island within 20 minutes. Although we had no issue with getting taxis, if we go again we will definitely hire a scooter to get round the island more easily. We ate at the hotel Cala Soana restaurant one night (incredible) and the other we went in to Es Pujols. There are lots of great restaurants along the front and some cheaper ones a few streets back from the coast if you’d prefer

Es Pujols is a bustling town with a very good selection of shops and eating places. It has probably tripled in size since I first visited in 1984. There are market stalls at the beachfront every evening in the high season. Some of the restaurants are very expensive and over priced, but some of the more traditional restaurants are more reasonable. I would avoid staying right in the centre of the town as it could be noisy.

4 stars, really.
4 stars, really. It’s more like 1 1/2 to 2 stars hotel at best. The costs for what you get is way to exagerated. I have no problem at all to pay for something, but this was by far the worst experience i got for what i payed for.
To sum it up: beach mediocre with alot of alges, rooms at best 2 star level, food expect the cheapest things you can buy for money, that’s the quality of food. Reception is a nightmare!
Good things: animation is doing their best and it’s ok… and at least the staff is cleaning every day.
Save your money, you get alot of better hotel around the world for this price. Way to overrated and too expensive.

We have been to the island on at least 20 previous visit and know that Es Pujols is the most touristy place on Formentera, but it has a real charm, is great for children and a really good place to base yourself if you visit the island.

Playa Migjorn is a stunning beach with so many different contrasts. At the hotel it was very calm with some rocks and clear but further along just cristal clear then at the top end more wild and rocky but with clear water.
The beach bars are all so different, our favourite Kiosko 62 is on the beach with cristal clear water and not such a busy part of the beach.
Stunning sunsets and some boating activity. Views from the hotel bar and restaurant were stunning.
