Apartamentos Costamar II

About Apartamentos Costamar II

Apartamentos Costamar II suits travellers who want a simple base a short walk from Es Pujols without being in the middle of its evening trade. The two-star apartment building stands 0.2 km from the village centre in straight line, so the beach, the boat houses and the bars are within easy reach, while the garden, terrace and pool give you somewhere calm to return to. Couples, small families and friends who plan their own days on Formentera fit here best.

This is an apartment stay rather than a full-service hotel, rated two stars, with air conditioning, free wifi and a safe among the listed facilities. The outdoor pool is listed as salt water, and there is a garden, a lounge and a terrace for the hours between swims. Guests who prefer to keep their own schedule, eat out in the village and use the apartment as a base will get the most from it.

Location: Es Pujols

Apartamentos Costamar II has an address on Calle Punta Prima in Es Pujols, the liveliest village on Formentera, with a beach, boat houses and evening bars close by. The village centre is 0.2 km away in straight line, an easy walk for dinner. Sant Ferran de ses Roques lies 1.6 km off, Sant Francesc Xavier and its fortified 18th-century church 3.1 km, and La Savina, where the ferries dock, 3.9 km.

Es Pujols is compact enough to walk, so the pool, the bars and the beach need no transport at all. Anything further rewards two wheels: the island is flat and roughly 19 km long, with signposted green routes for bikes. Scooters, buses and taxis fill the gaps. High summer brings crowds to the village after dark, while late spring and early autumn leave more room on the sand and at the tables.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities listed for Apartamentos Costamar II cover the practical side of a beach holiday: air conditioning, free wifi, internet access, a safe, non smoking rooms, cleaning and a laundry service. Outside there is an outdoor pool listed as salt water, a garden, a terrace and a lounge. Car rental and parking are listed too, and diving and fishing appear among the activities. All of it is worth confirming with the property when you book.

Couples get a short walk into Es Pujols for dinner and a quiet return afterwards. Families should ask Apartamentos Costamar II what the apartment holds for children, whether cots are supplied and how deep the pool runs. Late arrivals should fix key collection and arrival hours with the property before travelling, as reception arrangements at a small apartment building vary. Parking spaces and pool towels are also worth checking in advance.

Getting there

Reaching Apartamentos Costamar II means flying to Ibiza Airport (IBZ), about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town, then crossing to Formentera by sea, because the island has no airport. Take a bus or taxi from the terminal to Ibiza Town port and board a ferry to La Savina. Fast ferries take about 30-35 minutes and conventional ferries about an hour; sailings are frequent in season, fewer in winter, so check the operators.

From La Savina, Apartamentos Costamar II is 3.9 km away in straight line, a short taxi or bus ride, or a bike trip if you travel light. Once settled, bikes and the signposted green routes cover the flat interior and coast, scooters and taxis handle longer hops, and buses link the villages. The Consell de Formentera caps visitor vehicles in high season, so check the rules before hiring or bringing a car.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest swim is in Es Pujols itself, 0.2 km from Apartamentos Costamar II, where the village beach and boat houses sit below the bars. Ca na Costa, a megalithic tomb about 4,000 years old and the oldest known monument on the Pitiusas, is 1.4 km away in straight line. The Estany Pudent and Estany des Peix lagoons, good for birds, are 2.5 km off, and Sant Francesc Xavier with its fortified church 3.2 km.

Eating on Formentera stays plain and good, built on peix sec (dried fish), island salads and fresh fish, and Apartamentos Costamar II puts the tables of Es Pujols 0.2 km from your door. Further out, the Ses Illetes sand spit and the clear water of the Ses Salines Natural Park lie to the north, Cala Saona and its red cliffs to the west, and the long south-coast beach of Platja de Migjorn below the villages.

A day from Apartamentos Costamar II

Begin with a swim off Es Pujols, 0.2 km from Apartamentos Costamar II, before the village wakes up properly. Walk or cycle 1.4 km to Ca na Costa to see the megalithic tomb, then carry on 2.5 km to the Estany Pudent and Estany des Peix lagoons with binoculars. Lunch back at the apartment, an hour by the salt water pool, and the afternoon is free for the beach again.

Late afternoon suits Sant Francesc Xavier, 3.1 km away, where the fortified 18th-century church and the small shops fill an hour. Return to Es Pujols for the evening, when the bars fill up and the boat houses go quiet. La Savina is 3.9 km off if you want to watch the ferries come in before dinner, and the flat roads make the ride back easy. Bikes are the simplest way to link these three stops.

Practical tips

Much of Formentera's tourist business closes roughly from November to April, so confirm opening dates with Apartamentos Costamar II before planning a winter crossing, when ferries from Ibiza Town also run less often. High summer fills Es Pujols and the island, and late spring, June, September and October are gentler for walking and cycling. A booking at Apartamentos Costamar II carries the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates depend on the type of accommodation and the season, children under 16 are exempt, and the Govern de les Illes Balears publishes the current rates.
