Apartamentos Pou Des Pujols

About Apartamentos Pou Des Pujols

Apartamentos Pou Des Pujols suits travellers who want a self-catering base in Formentera, close to the liveliest village but not on the beachfront. The apartments are a short walk from Es Pujols, where you find the beach, boat houses and evening bars. The property is unrated and listed as an apartment or villa, so it appeals to independent-minded guests who prefer to organise their own meals and transport.

The accommodation is a set of apartments with kitchenettes or kitchens, balconies or terraces, and free wifi. It is not a full-service hotel, so you manage your own schedule. The listed facilities include air conditioning, a safe, a TV, a sofa bed, and a cot on request. There is a bar and a restaurant on site, but the area also has its own places to eat and drink.

Location: Es Pujols

Apartamentos Pou Des Pujols sits on Punta Prima, 0.2 km from Es Pujols in a straight line. Es Pujols is Formentera's liveliest village, with a long sandy beach, a row of boat houses on the sand, and several bars that stay open late in season. In high summer the village is busy with day visitors and evening crowds; in May, June, September and October it is quieter, and many places close from November to April.

The port at La Savina is 3.8 km away by straight line. Sant Ferran de ses Roques, a crossroads village with a couple of shops and a church, is 1.8 km away. Sant Francesc Xavier, the island's small capital with its fortified church and a market, is 3.2 km away. A car or scooter is useful for reaching the more distant beaches and the La Mola plateau, but the immediate area is walkable.

Rooms and facilities

The apartments are listed with kitchenettes or kitchens, so you can prepare your own meals. Each unit has a balcony or terrace, air conditioning, a safe, a TV and a sofa bed. Some rooms have a bidet and a hairdryer. The property offers family rooms and a cot on request, which makes it practical for those travelling with children.

There is a bar and a restaurant on site, and breakfast can be ordered. The listed facilities include a laundry service, luggage storage, and car rental. If you arrive late, confirm with the property whether the reception is staffed or if there is a self-check-in procedure. Free wifi is available throughout.

Getting there

Formentera has no airport. You fly to Ibiza Airport (IBZ), about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town. From the airport you take a bus or taxi to Ibiza Town port, then a ferry to La Savina. Fast ferries take about 30-35 minutes; conventional ferries about an hour. Sailings are frequent in summer and fewer in winter. Check the ferry operators for current timetables.

From La Savina port, Apartamentos Pou Des Pujols is 3.8 km away in a straight line. A taxi takes about ten minutes. For getting around the island, bikes and the signposted green routes (circuits verds) are a good option. Scooters, buses and taxis are also available. The Consell de Formentera caps the number of visitor vehicles in high season, so check before bringing or hiring a car.

Practical tips

Much of Formentera's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the opening dates of Apartamentos Pou Des Pujols before booking. July and August are the busiest months, with higher demand and more crowds on the beaches. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and the type of accommodation, and it is reduced for longer stays. Children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
