Formentera Mar Bungalows Cas Carabiners

About Formentera Mar Bungalows Cas Carabiners

Formentera Mar Bungalows Cas Carabiners suits travellers who want a quiet, self-catering base within walking distance of the ferry. The bungalows sit at La Savina, Formentera's port, 0.3 km from the harbour where boats from Ibiza Town dock. Couples who prefer a kitchenette to a hotel dining room, and families carrying children's kit, tend to fit the format best. Arriving late off an evening sailing is straightforward, with the port a short walk away.

This is a three-star apartment-style stay rather than a serviced hotel. The property offers bungalows with kitchenettes, a garden and free car parking, and each unit is listed with air conditioning and a patio. Housekeeping and a concierge service are part of the set-up, which helps guests who want independence without handling every detail themselves. Think of it as a practical base for exploring Formentera by bike or car, with the essentials covered.

Location: La Savina

La Savina is Formentera's port, a small harbour village beside the Estany des Peix lagoon where the ferries from Ibiza Town dock. Formentera Mar Bungalows Cas Carabiners has those berths 0.3 km away, close enough to walk to a sailing yet far enough to keep its own quiet. The lagoon lies 0.9 km off, calm water for a kayak or paddleboard, and the road inland starts at the port.

Walking covers the port and the lagoon path. Anything further needs wheels or a lift: Sant Francesc Xavier, the small capital with its fortified 18th-century church, is 3.1 km away, and Es Pujols with its beach and evening bars is 3.7 km. Bikes and the signposted green routes are the usual choice on this flat island, with scooters, buses and taxis as alternatives. In July and August the port is busy on ferry arrivals; in May, June and September the same walk feels considerably calmer.

Rooms and facilities

Units are listed with air conditioning, a kitchenette with microwave and refrigerator, a TV, a patio and a hairdryer, plus toiletries and a bidet in the bathroom. That combination works for couples who want to eat in some evenings and for families who need a fridge stocked for children. Free bottled water is listed as a welcome extra, and cribs are available for those travelling with a baby. Housekeeping keeps the practical side of the stay running.

The garden and patio give bungalow guests somewhere to sit outside without leaving the property, and free car parking helps anyone arriving with a hire car from the port. Luggage storage is useful if a ferry leaves later than check-out; ask Formentera Mar Bungalows Cas Carabiners about holding bags on sailing day. Confirm check-in and check-out times, how the kitchenette is equipped and whether a cot needs booking ahead. The concierge service can advise on local arrangements.

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, then transfer to the port in Ibiza Town and take the ferry to La Savina, the crossing taking about 30-35 minutes on a fast ferry or about an hour on a conventional one. From the La Savina berth, Formentera Mar Bungalows Cas Carabiners is 0.3 km away, an easy walk with light bags or a short ride with luggage.

Sailings are frequent in season and thinner in winter, and the timetable changes with the operator, so check crossings before booking flights. On the island, bikes and the signposted green routes suit the flat terrain; scooters, buses and taxis cover longer hops to Sant Francesc Xavier at 3.1 km or Es Pujols at 3.7 km. The Consell de Formentera caps visitor vehicles in high season, so check the rules before bringing a car on the ferry or hiring one on the island.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest water is the port itself and the Estany des Peix lagoon 0.9 km away, calm and shallow, good for a kayak or paddleboard. The lagoons of the Ses Salines Natural Park begin 1.3 km off, with birds around the salt pans, and the Ses Illetes sand spit lies beyond in the north of the island. Real sand beaches mean a ride: Es Pujols at 3.7 km, or the long south-coast sweep of Platja de Migjorn and the cove at Cala Saona further on.

Inland, Sant Francesc Xavier is 3.1 km away, a small capital with a fortified 18th-century church, a market and the island's shops; Ca na Costa, the megalithic tomb near Es Pujols, is 3 km away and about 4,000 years old. Es Caló de Sant Agustí, a fishing harbour of boat houses below La Mola, and the lighthouse plateau at El Pilar de la Mola make a longer loop by bike. Food on Formentera leans on the sea: peix sec, island salads and fresh fish, served across the villages within a few kilometres of Formentera Mar Bungalows Cas Carabiners.

A day from Formentera Mar Bungalows Cas Carabiners

Start with coffee at the bungalow and a walk of 0.9 km to the Estany des Peix for a paddle while the water is still glassy. Then loop 1.3 km to the lagoon edges of the Ses Salines Natural Park to watch birds over the salt pans, before riding back past the port. Mid-morning suits the Ses Illetes sand spit in the north, best reached early before the day boats arrive. Return to Formentera Mar Bungalows Cas Carabiners for lunch cooked in the kitchenette.

Afternoon heat is the moment for the patio or the garden, then a 3 km ride to Ca na Costa to see the megalithic tomb in softer light. Continue 3.1 km into Sant Francesc Xavier for the fortified church and a wander past the shops, or head 3.7 km to Es Pujols for the beach and an evening drink. Sunset draws people to Cap de Barbaria in the south. Finish with fish in one of the villages and a short ride back to La Savina, 0.3 km from the bungalows.

Practical tips

Formentera empties out from roughly November to April, when many hotels, beach bars, boat trips and seasonal buses stop running, so check with Formentera Mar Bungalows Cas Carabiners which months it opens and book July and August well ahead. On top of the room rate comes the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, charged per person per night by the accommodation; the rate varies with the type and category of the bungalows and the season, drops in low season and on longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Current rules sit with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
