Ca Na Rita den Constantino

About Ca Na Rita den Constantino

Ca Na Rita den Constantino suits travellers who want the quiet south of Formentera rather than the busier villages. The property sits at Ca Marí, among the lanes behind the south coast, and Platja de Migjorn is 1.1 km away in a straight line. Couples who walk to the water each morning and families who prefer a garden to a lobby both fit here. Apartments give self-catering flexibility, and the setting rewards guests who plan to explore by bike or car.

It is a three-star hotel with apartments, a garden and a solarium, and the mood is practical rather than polished. Guests book it for space, parking and a short run to the beach rather than for a resort programme. Listed facilities cover the essentials for a beach stay: air conditioning, free wifi, a safe and a TV. Ask Ca Na Rita den Constantino about apartment layouts, cot availability and cleaning before booking.

Location: Platja de Migjorn

Ca Marí lies in the quiet south of Formentera, on the inland side of the Migjorn beach. Sant Ferran de ses Roques is 2.2 km away and Sant Francesc Xavier, the small capital with a market and the island's shops, is 3.4 km. The address is Camí de Can Simonet, reached by road rather than on foot from the port. A car, scooter or bike makes the position work best.

Distances are short but spread out. Platja de Migjorn is 1.1 km away in a straight line, so the beach is a walk rather than a doorstep, and the path may run longer than that figure. La Savina port is 6.5 km away and needs a car, taxi or bus. In high summer the Consell de Formentera caps visitor vehicles, so check before hiring. May, June and September are far quieter at Ca Na Rita den Constantino.

Rooms and facilities

Accommodation is in apartments, and that shapes how the hotel works for different guests. Couples can treat the garden, terrace and solarium as extra living space, while families gain a microwave, a refrigerator and cots, with non-smoking rooms listed. Air conditioning, a safe, a hairdryer, a TV and free wifi appear in the facilities, and bath and bidet too. Ask which apartments at Ca Na Rita den Constantino have a balcony.

Practical services matter on an island where everything is a short drive: free car parking, luggage storage, laundry service and a car rental service are all listed, alongside first aid and internet access. Canoe, diving and horse riding appear in the facilities list as activities linked to the stay, so confirm with Ca Na Rita den Constantino how they are arranged and when. Settle cleaning and cot details before arrival.

Getting there

Formentera has no airport. Fly to Ibiza Airport (IBZ), about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town, then reach Ibiza Town port and take the ferry to La Savina. Fast ferries take about 30-35 minutes and conventional ferries about an hour, frequent in season and fewer in winter; check the operators. From La Savina, Ca Na Rita den Constantino is 6.5 km away in a straight line.

From Ca Marí, bikes, scooters and cars are the practical way around. Formentera is flat and the signposted green routes (circuits verds) suit cycling, while buses and taxis link the main villages. In high season the Consell de Formentera limits visitor vehicles, so check the rules before hiring or bringing a car. Free parking is listed at Ca Na Rita den Constantino for guests who drive, which makes the 1.1 km to the beach simple.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest sand is Platja de Migjorn, 1.1 km away, a long open south-coast beach with dunes and juniper behind it. Sant Ferran de ses Roques, 2.2 km from the hotel, is the closest village for a drink or supplies, and Sant Francesc Xavier is 3.4 km away. The fortified 18th-century church at Sant Francesc, built as a refuge, stands 3.5 km from Ca Na Rita den Constantino. Ca na Costa, a megalithic tomb about 4,000 years old, is 5.1 km away.

Birdlife at the lagoons of Estany Pudent and Estany des Peix, inside Ses Salines Natural Park, is about 5 km from the hotel. Further north, the Ses Illetes sand spit and the Espalmador islet reward an early start before the day boats arrive. Island food is plain and good: peix sec (dried fish), island salads and fresh fish. Cala Saona, the one real cove, faces west and needs a vehicle.

A day from Ca Na Rita den Constantino

Start early, because Migjorn faces south and the sand is at its best before the day heats up. Walk the 1.1 km down to Platja de Migjorn for a swim, then return for shade in the garden or on the solarium. Late morning suits the 2.2 km to Sant Ferran de ses Roques for supplies, or the 3.4 km to Sant Francesc Xavier for the market and the fortified church, 3.5 km from Ca Na Rita den Constantino.

Use the afternoon for the sights further out: the lagoons, 5 km away, for birds, or the Ca na Costa tomb at 5.1 km. A hire car or bike makes both simple, and parking at Ca Na Rita den Constantino is free. Finish with sunset on the coast or an evening in Sant Ferran de ses Roques. In high summer keep the middle of the day slow.

Practical tips

Much of Formentera's tourism business closes roughly from November to April, so ask Ca Na Rita den Constantino for its opening dates before booking outside the main season. The height of summer falls in July and August; May, June, September and October are gentler. Expect the Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) to be added per person per night by the accommodation, at rates that vary with the type of accommodation and the season, reduced in low season and for longer stays, and with children under 16 exempt. Check current rates with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
