About Can Teuet de ses Roques

Can Teuet de ses Roques is a self-catering hotel in Sant Ferran de ses Roques, a crossroads village between the Estany Pudent lagoon and the south coast. The property is not rated with stars and has no guest score listed. It suits travellers who want a base with a kitchen or kitchenette, free parking and a garden, and who prefer the quieter inland side of Formentera over a beachfront location.

The accommodation is set up for independent stays, with a kitchen or kitchenette, a microwave, a toaster, a refrigerator and a coffee maker. Guests can confirm the exact room layout and any additional charges with the property before arrival.

Location: Sant Ferran de ses Roques

Can Teuet de ses Roques is 0.9 km straight line from Sant Ferran de ses Roques, a small village with a few shops, a church and a couple of bars. The hotel is 5.7 km straight line from La Savina port, where every ferry from Ibiza Town arrives. Platja de Migjorn, the long open south-coast beach, is 2.3 km straight line away, and Es Pujols, the liveliest village with a beach and evening bars, is 2.5 km straight line.

In high summer, July and August, the roads around Sant Ferran get busy with day-trippers heading to the beaches, but the village itself stays relatively calm. The shoulder months, May, June and September, are quieter, and many restaurants and bike hire places operate on reduced hours. A car or scooter is useful for reaching the beaches and the capital Sant Francesc, though the green routes (circuits verds) are signposted for cycling.

Rooms and facilities

The hotel lists air conditioning, a fan, a fireplace, a bath, a bidet, a hairdryer and an iron and board. The rooms include a kitchen or kitchenette with a microwave, oven, toaster, refrigerator and coffee maker, plus a washing machine. Free wifi and a TV are provided. The property has family rooms, a cot and high chairs are listed, so it can accommodate guests with children.

Guests arriving late should confirm check-in arrangements with the property, as the hotel does not list a 24-hour reception. The listed facilities suggest a self-contained stay: you can cook meals, wash clothes and relax in the garden or on the terrace. The fireplace may be seasonal, so ask about its use during the cooler months.

Getting there

Formentera has no airport. Fly to Ibiza Airport (IBZ), about 7 km south-west of Ibiza Town. From the airport, take a bus or taxi to Ibiza Town port. Ferries from Ibiza Town to La Savina run frequently in season: fast ferries take about 30-35 minutes, conventional ferries about an hour. In winter, sailings are fewer; check the ferry operators for current timetables.

From La Savina port, Can Teuet de ses Roques is 5.7 km straight line. A taxi is the simplest option with luggage. Alternatively, you can hire a bike or scooter at La Savina and follow the signposted green routes (circuits verds). The Consell de Formentera caps the number of visitor vehicles in high season, so check before bringing or hiring a car. Buses run between La Savina, Sant Ferran and the main villages, but services are reduced outside summer.

Beaches, sights and food nearby

The nearest beach is Platja de Migjorn, 2.3 km straight line, a long stretch of sand backed by dunes and juniper, with calm water on most days. Es Pujols, 2.5 km straight line, has a sheltered beach, boat houses and a few evening bars. Sant Francesc Xavier, 3.4 km straight line, is the small capital with a fortified 18th-century church, a market and the island's main shops. Ca na Costa, a megalithic tomb about 4,000 years old, is 3.8 km straight line.

The lagoons Estany Pudent and Estany des Peix, part of the Ses Salines Natural Park, are about 4.2 km straight line and good for birdwatching. The salt pans and the Ses Illetes sand spit are further north, best visited early before the day boats arrive. Formentera's food includes peix sec (dried fish), island salads and fresh fish; you can buy supplies in Sant Ferran or Sant Francesc and cook at the hotel.

A day from Can Teuet de ses Roques

In the afternoon, head to Sant Francesc, 3.4 km away, to see the fortified church and the market. Walk around the village streets. Late afternoon, drive to Cap de Barbaria lighthouse for the sunset, or to Cala Saona if you prefer a cove with red cliffs. Evening meal at the hotel, using the kitchen, or walk to a bar in Sant Ferran. The garden is a quiet place to end the day.

Practical tips

Much of Formentera's tourism business, including many restaurants, beach bars and bike hire outlets, closes roughly from November to April. Check with Can Teuet de ses Roques for its opening dates. July and August are the peak months with the highest demand for ferries and accommodation. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the hotel; the rate depends on the season and accommodation type, is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt.
