Capri

About Capri

Capri is a simple one-star hotel in Es Pujols, the liveliest village on Formentera. It suits travellers who want a base near the beach and evening bars without paying for extras. The guest score of 4.5 out of 5 from 568 reviews suggests that guests appreciate the straightforward comfort and the location.

This is a no-frills stay for those who spend their days outdoors. The hotel lists air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a bar and a restaurant, plus a garden and a lounge. With a balcony in some rooms, it works for couples and small families. The one-star rating means expectations should be modest, but the location and facilities cover the essentials.

Location: Es Pujols

Capri sits on Av. Miramar in Es Pujols, about 0.2 km straight line from the village centre. Es Pujols is the most animated settlement on Formentera, with a beach, boat houses and evening bars. The hotel is not on the beachfront, but the beach and village are within a short walk.

La Savina port, where ferries from Ibiza arrive, is 3.8 km straight line away, so a taxi or shuttle is needed for the transfer. Sant Ferran de ses Roques is 1.7 km and Sant Francesc Xavier 3.1 km. In high summer, Es Pujols is busy with day visitors and evening crowds. In the shoulder months, from April to June and September to October, the pace is calmer and many bars and restaurants still operate.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms at Capri are listed with air conditioning, a balcony, and a safe. Housekeeping is included, and non-smoking rooms are available. The hotel provides free Wi-Fi, which is useful for planning day trips. For families, the garden and lounge offer space to relax, though there is no pool listed.

Late arrivals should confirm check-in times with the property, as the hotel does not specify them. The bar and restaurant on site can cover meals, but the village has other options. Laundry service is available if needed. Guests should check with Capri about room sizes and balcony availability, as these are not detailed in the listing.

Getting there

Formentera has no airport. Fly to Ibiza Airport (IBZ), about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town. From the airport, 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 season and fewer in winter, so check the operators for current timetables.

From La Savina, Capri is 3.8 km straight line away. A taxi or a hire car collected at the port covers the distance in about 10 minutes. Bikes are a good option for getting around Formentera, with signposted green routes. The Consell de Formentera caps visitor vehicles in high season, so check before bringing a car. Buses and taxis also serve Es Pujols.

Practical tips

Much of Formentera's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check with Capri about its opening dates. July and August are the peak months, with the village at its busiest. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate depends on the season and length of stay, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
