About Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas

Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas sits in the south-coast scattering of Platja de Migjorn, on Formentera, a short step from one of the island's longest stretches of open sand. The apartments suit couples who want quiet evenings and unhurried mornings, and families who prefer space and their own fridge to a hotel corridor. Eating out here means moving: the south coast is spread out, so the stay rewards anyone happy to cycle or drive for dinner. Guests who want a lively village on the doorstep should weigh Es Pujols instead.

Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas is a four-star property run as apartments or villas rather than a full-service hotel. The guest score stands at 3.7 out of 5 from 348 reviews, which reads as a well-used, practical base rather than a polished resort. Expect self-catering rhythms: a pool for the afternoon, parking for a hire car, and a Migjorn address that keeps the beach within walking distance. Anyone wanting daily housekeeping and a reception desk should ask the property directly what is provided.

Location: Platja de Migjorn

Platja de Migjorn is Formentera's long south-coast beach, an open run of sand backed by dunes and juniper rather than a built-up resort. There is no village centre as such: the accommodation spreads among the pines and the tracks behind the beach. The nearest crossroads village is Sant Ferran de ses Roques, 2.4 km away in a straight line. Es Pujols, the liveliest village on the island, is 4.1 km off, and the small capital, Sant Francesc Xavier, with its fortified church, is 4.2 km from Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas.

The beach is the walk: Platja de Migjorn lies 0.8 km from Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas in a straight line, an easy errand on foot or by bicycle. Everything else on Formentera needs wheels. A car or scooter covers Sant Ferran and Es Pujols quickly, and the signposted green routes suit cyclists. In July and August the south coast fills with day visitors and the sandy tracks get slow, so early starts help. May, June, September and October bring shorter queues, cooler cycling and sea temperatures around 18-19 °C in May.

Rooms and facilities

The listed facilities point to a practical self-catering stay. A refrigerator in the apartment matters on an island where lunch is often bread, tomatoes and peix sec taken back to the terrace. A swimming pool gives children somewhere to go after the sand, internet access covers remote work and ferry bookings, and a cot is listed for families travelling with a baby. Parking is listed too, useful given how spread out Platja de Migjorn is, and there is a bike rental service on hand for the flat lanes behind the beach.

Confirm the practical points with Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas before booking: whether a cot is supplied on request, how the bike rental service works and whether locks come with the bikes, and where parking sits relative to the apartment. Ask about arrival times as well, since check-in and check-out are set by the property and a late arrival off a winter ferry needs arranging in advance. Air conditioning, cleaning frequency and pool hours are all worth a question.

Getting there

Reaching Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas takes two legs. Fly into Ibiza Airport (IBZ), which sits about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town, then take a bus or taxi from the airport to the port in Ibiza Town. Ferries cross to La Savina, Formentera's only port, in about 30-35 minutes on the fast service or about an hour on the conventional boat. Sailings are frequent in season and thinner in winter, so check the operators before booking a late flight.

From La Savina, Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas is 7.1 km away in a straight line, a short taxi ride or drive along the south-coast roads; the road route runs longer than the straight line, so allow for that. Bikes and the signposted green routes (circuits verds) are the pleasant way around, scooters and buses cover longer hops, and taxis handle luggage. The Consell de Formentera caps visitor vehicles in high season, so check the rules before bringing or hiring a car for the 7.1 km from the port.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Platja de Migjorn, 0.8 km from Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas, is the obvious beach: long, open and backed by dunes and juniper, with room to spread out even in August. For a change of scene, the boat houses at Es Caló de Sant Agustí are 4.5 km away in a straight line, a small fishing harbour below La Mola. Sant Ferran de ses Roques, 2.4 km off, is the nearest place for a morning coffee, and Es Pujols, 4.1 km, carries the busiest evening trade.

Sant Francesc Xavier, 4.2 km from Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas, holds the fortified 18th-century church built as a refuge, plus the island's shops and a market. The Ca na Costa megalithic tomb near Es Pujols, 5.4 km away, is about 4,000 years old and the oldest known monument on the Pitiusas. Island food runs to peix sec (dried fish), island salads and fresh fish, and self-caterers can build meals from what the shops in Sant Francesc and Es Pujols sell. The Pitiusan wall lizard lives only on Ibiza, Formentera and their islets.

A day from Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas

Start early, because Migjorn faces south and the beach is at its calmest before the day boats and cars arrive. Walk or cycle the 0.8 km down to the sand, swim, then return to the pool at Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas while the sun climbs. A bicycle from the rental service makes light work of the sandy tracks behind the dunes. Late morning suits a run to Sant Ferran de ses Roques, 2.4 km away, for supplies and a coffee before the heat settles.

After lunch, drive or cycle to Es Caló, 4.5 km from Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas, to see the boat houses and the shallow water below La Mola. Continue to Sant Francesc Xavier, 4.2 km, for the fortified church and the shops, or detour to the Ca na Costa tomb near Es Pujols, 5.4 km, on the way back. Evenings belong to the beach again: the south coast sunset is softer than the crowds at Cap de Barbaria, and Es Pujols, 4.1 km off, has the later bars.

Practical tips

Much of Formentera's tourist business closes roughly from November to April, so confirm the opening dates of Aguamar Viviendas Turisticas with the property before booking a winter crossing; ferries from Ibiza Town to La Savina are also fewer then. July and August are the peak, with the Migjorn coast at its busiest and the tracks behind the beach slow with traffic. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation, at rates that depend on the type of property and the season, reduced in low season and for longer stays; children under 16 are exempt. Check current rates with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
