About Hotel Rosamar Emar Hotels

Hotel Rosamar Emar Hotels is a 2-star hotel in the Sa Roqueta area, between La Savina and Es Pujols on Formentera. It suits travellers who want a simple base for exploring the island's beaches, lagoons and prehistoric sites without staying in the busiest part of Es Pujols. The guest score of 4.6 out of 5 from 345 reviews suggests a well-run property for the price.

This is a straightforward hotel stay rather than a resort experience. The facilities are practical: air conditioning, free wifi, a bar, a restaurant, a garden and a terrace. Rooms come with a balcony, a fridge, a minibar and a safe. The hotel is not on the beachfront, so expect a short trip to the sand. It works well for couples and families who plan to spend most of the day out.

Location: Es Pujols

Hotel Rosamar Emar Hotels sits in the Sa Roqueta zone, about 1.7 km straight line from Es Pujols, the liveliest village on Formentera. Es Pujols has a beach, boat houses and evening bars, so it is the natural place for dinner or a drink. The hotel is also 2.4 km straight line from La Savina port, where every ferry from Ibiza arrives, and 3.1 km from Sant Ferran de ses Roques, a crossroads village.

The hotel's position is quiet but not isolated. The Ca na Costa megalithic tomb is only 0.7 km away, and the lagoons are about 1.5 km. In high summer, the roads around Es Pujols and La Savina carry more traffic, and the Consell de Formentera caps visitor vehicles. In the shoulder months of May, June, September and October, the pace is slower, and many seasonal businesses close from November to April.

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 take about an hour. Sailings are frequent in season and fewer in winter, so check the ferry operators for current timetables.

From La Savina, Hotel Rosamar Emar Hotels is 2.4 km straight line away, a short taxi or shuttle ride. The hotel lists a shuttle service and a car rental service. To explore the island, bikes and the signposted green routes (circuits verds) are a good option, as are scooters, buses and taxis. The Consell de Formentera caps visitor vehicles in high season, so check before bringing or hiring a car.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach is at Es Pujols, 1.7 km straight line from the hotel. Es Pujols has a long sandy beach with calm water, boat houses and evening bars. The lagoons of Estany Pudent and Estany des Peix are about 1.5 km away, where you can watch birds. Paddling on the Estany des Peix is possible at 2.7 km straight line. The Ca na Costa megalithic tomb, about 4,000 years old, is just 0.7 km away.

Sant Ferran de ses Roques, 3.1 km straight line, is a small village with a couple of shops and a bar. The capital Sant Francesc Xavier is a bit further, with a fortified 18th-century church and a market. Island food includes peix sec (dried fish), fresh fish and island salads. For a longer trip, the Ses Illetes sand spit and the Espalmador islet are reachable by bike or boat from La Savina.

A day from Hotel Rosamar Emar Hotels

Start the day with a short walk or bike ride from Hotel Rosamar Emar Hotels to Ca na Costa, 0.7 km away, to see the megalithic tomb before the sun gets high. Then head to Es Pujols, 1.7 km, for a swim and a coffee at one of the beach bars. The water is calm in the morning, and the beach is quieter before the day boats arrive.

In the afternoon, cycle to the Estany des Peix lagoon, about 2.7 km, and try a paddleboard or kayak on the calm water. Watch birds along the shore. In the evening, return to Es Pujols for dinner at a simple restaurant, then walk back to the hotel. The hotel's bar and terrace are a quiet place to end the day, away from the main strip.

Practical tips

Much of Formentera's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so check the hotel's opening dates before booking. July and August are the busiest months, with more crowds and higher demand. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged by the accommodation per person per night; the rate depends on the season and length of stay, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rate with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
