Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio

About Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio

Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio suits travellers who want the port at the start of the holiday rather than at the end of a drive. The apartments stand in La Savina, 0.4 km from the ferry quay and 3.1 km from Sant Francesc Xavier, so the bags go down once and the island opens from there. Couples travelling light, families with young children and anyone on a late crossing get free parking and a kitchenette instead of a room key and a queue.

The stay is a three-star apartment property of the self-catering kind, with a garden, a terrace and a balcony listed among its facilities. Days are built around the lagoon and the green routes rather than around a dining room, which keeps the rhythm of the day in your own hands. It is a practical base for a first visit to Formentera and for repeat visitors who already know how the island works.

Location: La Savina

La Savina is Formentera's port, the place where every ferry from Ibiza Town ties up, and it faces the Estany des Peix, a shallow lagoon of calm water. Quays, boat houses and the edge of the Ses Salines Natural Park give the village a working, maritime feel rather than a resort one. Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio is 0.4 km from the port and the same distance from the centre of La Savina, so the arrival walk is short.

On foot from Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio you reach the lagoon for a paddle, the salt lagoons for birds and the ferry quay for an evening look at the boats. Sant Francesc Xavier, the capital with its fortified church and market, is 3.1 km away and Es Pujols is 3.6 km, both easy by bike on flat roads but slow on foot at midday. Local buses cover the main villages with fewer services outside summer; check the island operator. A car or scooter helps for the far beaches.

Rooms and facilities

Apartments at Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio are listed with a kitchenette, microwave, refrigerator and free bottled water, which turns a port-side base into a self-catering one. Air conditioning, a TV and a hairdryer cover the basics, and the balcony or terrace gives somewhere to dry swimwear and eat breakfast outside. Toiletries are listed too, a bidet appears among the bathroom fittings, and cribs are available for families with a baby.

Among the services, housekeeping, a concierge, luggage storage and free car parking are listed, and the garden adds a quiet corner after a day on the water. Late arrivals should confirm reception hours with Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio before booking the last crossing, since sailings thin out later in the day. Ask the property about the outlook from the particular apartment, the layout of the sleeping space and how the kitchenette is equipped.

Getting there

Formentera has no airport, so the route runs through Ibiza. Fly to Ibiza Airport (IBZ), about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town, transfer to the port in Ibiza Town and take a ferry to La Savina: fast ferries take about 30-35 minutes and conventional ferries about an hour, with sailings fewer in winter. From the quay at La Savina, Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio is 0.4 km away.

With a car on the ferry, the drive from La Savina to Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio is very short; without one, the walk from the port with luggage is manageable and taxis wait at the quay. Bikes and scooters are the usual way around Formentera, and the signposted green routes link the villages and the coast. The Consell de Formentera limits visitor vehicles in high season, so check the current rules before bringing a car across to the apartments.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest calm water to Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio is the Estany des Peix, about 1 km away and good for a kayak or paddleboard, while the salt lagoons 1.1 km off hold the island's birdlife. Ca na Costa, a megalithic tomb near Es Pujols about 4,000 years old and the oldest known monument on the Pitiusas, is 2.8 km from the apartments. Es Pujols itself, 3.6 km away, has the closest village beach.

Ses Illetes and the sand spit of the Ses Salines Natural Park lie at the north end of Formentera, clearest early before the day boats arrive, and Platja de Migjorn runs along the open south coast backed by dunes and juniper. Cala Saona on the west side is the island's one real cove, with red cliffs and a sunset. On the plate, look for peix sec, island salads and fresh fish in the villages.

A day from Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio

Begin with a swim or a paddle on the Estany des Peix, about 1 km from Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio, before the wind gets up. Walk back for breakfast on the balcony, then cycle the flat 3.1 km to Sant Francesc Xavier for the market and the fortified 18th-century church. Through the middle of the day, take the shade beside the salt lagoons 1.1 km away and watch the birds over the pans.

In the afternoon, ride the 2.8 km to the Ca na Costa tomb on the way to Es Pujols, 3.6 km from the apartments, for a beach hour and a coffee. Evenings belong to the port: the ferry quay is 0.4 km from Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio, and the boats coming in are the local entertainment. Move between these points on foot, by bike or by taxi, since the distances are short.

Practical tips

Formentera Mar Apartamentos Aviacio works best between spring and autumn, since much of the island's tourism business closes roughly from November to April; confirm the property's opening dates before booking, and reserve the crossing ahead in July and August. The property collects the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, per person per night, at rates set by the type of accommodation and the season, lower in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the Govern de les Illes Balears for current rates.
