About Homenfun Formentera Es Caló

Homenfun Formentera Es Caló suits couples and small families who want a quiet base in the east of Formentera, close to the boat houses at Es Caló de Sant Agustí. The three-star hotel stands on Carrer De Francesc Aragó and lists a pool and a garden for the hours between the coast and dinner. It carries a guest score of 4.5/5 from 31 reviews, and the feel is practical rather than resort-like, which suits anyone planning to walk, cycle and eat late.

The stay is straightforward: a three-star hotel with the run of an apartment, including a kitchenette, a fridge, a microwave and a washing machine, plus a swimming pool and a garden. That mix suits a week of short hops to the coast and the plateau above. Homenfun Formentera Es Caló is a better fit for travellers who plan their own days than for anyone wanting full service.

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 Homenfun Formentera Es Caló sits 0.5 km from that little waterfront. The address is Carrer De Francesc Aragó 37. La Savina, where every ferry arrives, is 10.8 km away in a straight line, and Sant Ferran de ses Roques, the crossroads village between the lagoon and the south coast, is 6 km off.

Walking covers the harbour and the boat houses; anything further needs a bicycle, a scooter, the bus or a taxi. Platja de Migjorn, the long open south-coast beach, is 4.1 km away in a straight line, so a bike turns it into an easy half-day. High summer brings the busiest traffic on the lanes up to La Mola, and the harbour is busiest around midday. In May or September the same roads are calm, and the sea is typically about 18 to 19 °C in May.

Rooms and facilities

The facilities listed for Homenfun Formentera Es Caló are the practical ones a beach week needs: air conditioning, a TV, a fridge, a kitchenette with a microwave, a hairdryer, and an iron and board. A washing machine is also listed, as are a swimming pool, a garden and a terrace. Couples can use the kitchenette for breakfast outside, and families get the pool for the middle of the day. Wifi is listed as free and rooms are non-smoking.

Late arrivals should agree the arrival time and key collection with Homenfun Formentera Es Caló before the ferry, since the crossing and the 10.8 km from La Savina can run later than planned. Parking is listed, which matters if a car is part of the plan; confirm how a space is allocated. It is worth asking whether the kitchenette includes crockery and pans, and whether pool towels are provided, so the packing list is settled before leaving.

Getting there

Homenfun Formentera Es Caló is reached by air and then by sea. Arrival is at Ibiza Airport (IBZ), roughly 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town, and the crossing to La Savina leaves from the Ibiza Town quays; fast ferries take about 30-35 minutes, conventional boats about an hour. Sailings are frequent in season and thinner in winter, so check the operators for current timetables. La Savina is 10.8 km from the hotel in a straight line.

On the island, bicycles and the signposted green routes (circuits verds) are the simplest way to cover the 10.8 km from La Savina and the short hops around Es Caló de Sant Agustí. Scooters, buses and taxis fill the gaps, and the Consell de Formentera caps visitor vehicles in high season, so check before bringing or hiring a car. Ask Homenfun Formentera Es Caló about parking, and about reaching Carrer De Francesc Aragó with luggage.

Sant Ferran de ses Roques, the crossroads village, is 6 km off, and La Savina, with the Estany des Peix lagoon beside it, is 10.8 km away. Cala Saona, the island's one real cove, sits on the west coast and needs a car, a bike or a taxi.

A day from Homenfun Formentera Es Caló

Practical tips

Much of Formentera's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so ask Homenfun Formentera Es Caló about its own opening dates before booking outside the main months. In July and August the island is at its fullest, when the Consell de Formentera caps visitor vehicles. The sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation, varies with the type and category of the property and the season, is lower for longer stays, and exempts children under 16; check the rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
