City hotel guide
Formentera
Formentera is the southernmost and smallest island of the Balearic archipelago, renowned for its pristine natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Unlike its neighbor Ibiza, it offers a serene escape ideal for relaxation. The island lacks its own airport, requiring transit via Ibiza. Key accommodation hubs include Sant Francesc Xavier and coastal villages, best explored by car or bicycle.

Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
There is no airport on the island; fly first to Ibiza (IBZ), then take a ferry for approximately 30 minutes. The flat terrain makes renting bicycles or e-scooters the best way to explore the island and reach various beaches.
Best Season
Summer (June to September) offers warm weather and clear waters, ideal for swimming but with more crowds. Spring and autumn provide pleasant temperatures and fewer tourists, perfect for those seeking a quieter, more authentic island experience.

Dining
Casanita
Occupying a chalet-style building, Casanita’s traditional atmosphere provides the backdrop for an à la carte with its roots in Italian cooking, daily specials posted on the blackboard, and well-prepared fresh fish of the day.
WebsiteCan Carlitos
Hidden away in an old house, with an open terrace, right on the beachfront and with the water... almost lapping at your feet! The proposal, overseen by renowned chef Nandu Jubany (Can Jubany, in Calldetenes), nonchalantly offers an informal but very Mediterranean cuisine, very much up-to-date and with interesting international influences. There are also dishes off the menu and a suggestive tasting menu!
WebsiteEs Caló
A very pleasant experience and... it overlooks a turquoise sea! Here, under the umbrella of a menu with a good selection of rice dishes and fideuás, they offer a cuisine with a marked Mediterranean flavour, always with interesting daily recommendations. A dish that we liked? Try the Fideuá ciega de pescado, served in a paella pan with cuttlefish, monkfish, scallops, mussels and more.
