About Meridium Apartments by Tentol Hotels

Meridium Apartments by Tentol Hotels suits travellers who want a plain, practical base on Formentera's south side and are content to reach the sand on foot or by bike. Couples touring the island by scooter, small families and groups of friends travelling together fit a two-star apartment stay of this kind. A garden and a picnic area give children space after a morning at Platja de Migjorn, and free parking helps anyone arriving with a car.

The property is graded two stars and stands on Camí de Can Simonet i Ca Marí, a lane inland from the Migjorn coast. Its listed offer is practical rather than polished: breakfast, free wifi, free car parking, a garden and picnic area, entertainment activities, luggage storage and step-free access. Book on the strength of the position and the quiet, and settle the finer points with the property before travelling, particularly anything that changes with the season.

Location: Platja de Migjorn

Platja de Migjorn forms Formentera's long south-coast beach, an open run of sand backed by dunes and juniper rather than by a town. The lane behind it holds low buildings and tracks, and Meridium Apartments by Tentol Hotels sits among them, close enough for a morning swim and far enough for quiet nights. High summer fills the beach accesses early and puts bikes on the lanes all day; May, June, September and October leave the sand emptier and the evenings cooler.

Platja de Migjorn is 0.7 km away in a straight line, a walkable errand for most guests. Sant Ferran de ses Roques, the crossroads village, is 2.5 km off, and Sant Francesc Xavier, the capital, is 3.9 km. Both are comfortable by bike, and the signposted green routes make the riding easy. For luggage, shopping or a late arrival, a taxi or a car is simpler, and La Savina port is 6.9 km away.

Rooms and facilities

Facilities are listed rather than promised, and they lean practical. Couples get free wifi, a bar and a garden for the evening. Families get free parking, a picnic area and entertainment activities that keep children busy without a drive, and breakfast covers a first morning when nobody wants to shop. Wheelchair access is listed, which matters for anyone travelling with a parent or a friend who uses a chair, and luggage storage helps on ferry days.

Confirm the details that carry weight for your stay: whether breakfast runs across the whole season, what the entertainment activities involve and when, whether parking needs booking, and how far the accessible route reaches. Ask about check-in and check-out times if you arrive on an early ferry or leave on a late one, and ask where the smoking area sits if that matters. The property can confirm each of these directly, and seasonal changes here are worth checking before you book.

Getting there

Formentera has no airport. Fly to Ibiza Airport (IBZ), about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town, then travel into Ibiza Town and pick up the ferry from the port to La Savina. Fast ferries take about 30-35 minutes and conventional ferries about an hour, with frequent sailings in season and fewer in winter; check the operators. From La Savina, Meridium Apartments by Tentol Hotels is 6.9 km away in a straight line.

Cover that last stretch by taxi, bus or a transfer arranged in advance, because the lane is no place to drag a case. On the island, bikes and the signposted green routes handle the short hops, with scooters and buses for longer ones. The Consell de Formentera caps visitor vehicles in high season, so check the rules before bringing or hiring a car, and ask Meridium Apartments by Tentol Hotels about parking.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

Platja de Migjorn, 0.7 km away, is the closest beach: an open, dune-backed strand with room to spread out. Sant Ferran de ses Roques is 2.5 km off, and Sant Francesc Xavier, the small capital with its fortified 18th-century church, a market and the island's shops, is 3.9 km. The boat houses at Es Caló de Sant Agustí are 4.9 km away and the lagoons where birds gather are 5.4 km.

Food here is plain and sea-led: peix sec, the dried fish served with bread and oil, island salads and fresh fish cooked simply. Village shops in Sant Ferran de ses Roques and Sant Francesc Xavier, 2.5 km and 3.9 km from Meridium Apartments by Tentol Hotels, cover picnic supplies for the garden or the picnic area. Away from the beach there is no resort strip, so plan meals around the villages and check seasonal opening before you rely on anything.

A day from Meridium Apartments by Tentol Hotels

Begin with a swim: walk or cycle the 0.7 km to Platja de Migjorn before the day warms, then return for breakfast at Meridium Apartments by Tentol Hotels. Spend the late morning in Sant Francesc Xavier, 3.9 km away, where the fortified church and small shops fill an hour or two. Lunch from the picnic area or the garden keeps the middle of the day unhurried.

In the afternoon, cycle the 4.9 km to the boat houses at Es Caló de Sant Agustí, or take the family birdwatching at the lagoons 5.4 km away. Swing through Sant Ferran de ses Roques, 2.5 km from Meridium Apartments by Tentol Hotels, for supplies on the way back. Evenings are quiet on this lane: a drink from the bar listed on site, then the garden, with a last walk to the beach for those who still have the legs.

Practical tips

Opening dates matter more than anything else: much of Formentera's tourist business closes roughly from November to April, and high summer brings the busiest weeks, so ask Meridium Apartments by Tentol Hotels when it opens and closes. A sustainable tourism tax, the ecotasa, is charged per person per night by the accommodation; rates depend on type, category and season, are lower in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check current rules with the Govern de les Illes Balears.
