Apartamentos Pinomar

About Apartamentos Pinomar

Apartamentos Pinomar is a three-star apartment property on Cami De Sa Pujada at Es Caló de Sant Agustí, on Formentera's east coast. The address puts you 0.2 km from the small fishing harbour and its boat houses, with the La Mola plateau rising behind. It suits couples and families who want a quiet base, their own kitchen and a car close at hand rather than a resort with a pool scene.

Apartamentos Pinomar is graded three stars and works as a self-catering base: kitchens and kitchenettes, refrigerators and microwaves appear in the listed facilities, along with a garden, a patio and a terrace for the cooler hours of the day. Couples who prefer to eat in now and then, and families who need the flexibility of their own kitchen, are the natural fit here, and the small scale of Es Caló de Sant Agustí keeps evenings quiet.

Location: Es Caló de Sant Agustí

Es Caló de Sant Agustí is a tiny fishing harbour of boat houses below the La Mola plateau, and Apartamentos Pinomar sits 0.2 km from that waterfront, the same distance as the boat houses themselves. It is a small, low-rise place where the day ends early and the harbour is the main draw. The nearest long beach is Platja de Migjorn, 4.7 km away on the south coast, while La Mola itself rises 5.5 km off.

Walking covers the harbour, the boat houses and the village lanes. Anything further needs wheels: La Savina port is 11.5 km away, the El Pilar de la Mola market 2.3 km, and the La Mola lighthouse 5.6 km. In high summer the island council caps the number of visitor vehicles, so check the Consell de Formentera before bringing or hiring a car, and ask Apartamentos Pinomar about parking, which is listed.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities point to apartments set up for everyday cooking: kitchen and kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave, coffee provision, iron and board, and a laundry service. Air conditioning and non-smoking rooms are listed, as are a safe, a sofa bed and family rooms, which helps if you are travelling with children and want the sleeping arrangements confirmed before booking. Bars also appear among the listed facilities, worth querying if you want a quiet unit.

For late arrivals, ask Apartamentos Pinomar how keys are handed over on Cami De Sa Pujada, since a small property may not staff a desk around the clock. Confirm whether a cot is provided for your unit and whether the terrace or patio comes with it. Wi-Fi is listed, along with parking and free car parking, and a shuttle service that may help with the 11.5 km run from La Savina.

Getting there

Fly to Ibiza Airport (IBZ), about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town, then cross the town to the port. Ferries from Ibiza Town reach La Savina on Formentera in about 30-35 minutes on the fast service and about an hour on the conventional one, with more sailings in season than in winter. Check the operators for the day you travel to Apartamentos Pinomar.

From La Savina, Apartamentos Pinomar is 11.5 km away in a straight line, so plan on a taxi, a bus or a hired car for the last leg, or ask the property about its listed shuttle service. On the island, bikes on the signposted green routes, scooters, buses and taxis cover most trips, and the council caps visitor vehicles in high season, so check the Consell de Formentera before hiring.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Platja de Migjorn, the long south-coast beach backed by dunes and juniper, is 4.7 km from Apartamentos Pinomar, and Cala Saona, the island's one real cove, with red cliffs and a west-facing sunset, is a longer run to the west. Closer in, the boat houses at Es Caló are 0.2 km from the door, and the Ses Illetes sand spit in Ses Salines Natural Park is a northern trip worth making before the day boats arrive.

Sights sit close: the El Pilar de la Mola market is 2.3 km away, held on Wednesdays and Sundays in season, the La Mola lighthouse 5.6 km off, and the plateau's edge 5.5 km from the apartments. Food on Formentera runs to peix sec, island salads and fresh fish, and guests at Apartamentos Pinomar cooking for themselves can shop in Sant Francesc Xavier or Es Pujols.

A day from Apartamentos Pinomar

Start with the 0.2 km walk from Apartamentos Pinomar to the boat houses and the small harbour at Es Caló, which is at its best before the heat builds. Then take the 2.3 km run up to El Pilar de la Mola for the craft market on a market day, and continue 5.6 km to the La Mola lighthouse on the plateau's eastern rim.

Spend the afternoon at Platja de Migjorn, 4.7 km from the apartments, where the south coast is open and the swimming shelves gently. Come back through Sant Ferran de ses Roques or Es Pujols for supplies, then finish on the terrace or patio at Apartamentos Pinomar. A car makes the loop easy; bikes and the green routes suit a shorter version, and the light on La Mola, 5.5 km off, lasts well into the evening.

Practical tips

Apartamentos Pinomar is best booked for the warmer half of the year. Many of Formentera's tourism businesses, among them hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses, close roughly from November to April, so check the property's own opening dates before fixing flights; July and August fill fastest. A Balearic sustainable tourism tax applies, charged per person per night by the accommodation, at rates that vary by category and season, reduced in low season and for longer stays, with under-16s exempt; check the Govern de les Illes Balears.
