Hotel Savina Formentera

The entry point to Formentera island is its port of La Savina. It has a compact and attractive marina which is stocked with some pretty expensive yachts during the summer. It’s not really the best place to stay on the island though so most people searching for Hotel Savina Formentera, probably shouldn’t be! With that said, this article will discuss some of the options, along with the things that you can do in and around Formentera.

One really popular option is Hostal La Savina which recently some new sunshades and blinds installed. The food served is aimed at the Italian market, with some fare for the British and German traveler. With that said the restaurant is not really the strong point of this place so you will probably want to dine out most of the time. The hostal has all the features you would expect: satellite TV, hairdryer, air-conditioning, fridge, and balconies. The hostal has the advantage of being close to the ferry terminal and is built around a courtyard, and is near a saltwater beach.

Near to La Savina are the two inland salt lakes, Estany Pudent and Estany des Peix. Estany Pudent is also known as stinky pond, and the sulphur that bubbles to the top can indeed make it somewhat aromatic during the summer months. It is well worth cycling around though as the wetlands are a rich nature reserve and you may even see some flamingos. Estany des Peix is less exciting, but it also has some wetlands and isn’t a bad place to take a swim in shallow, warm waters.

There is a tourist information office at La Savina just as you come of the ferry. They are always happy to answer your questions and give you some tips on how to rent transport in La Savina to go and explore the rest of the island. There are plenty of motor car and motor bike rental stores, but really all you need is a bicycle. It is only a twenty minute cycle to the stunning beaches of Es Trucadors, and you have the added benefit of being able to take in the views of the Es Cavall d’en Borras coastline at leisure.

La Savina also has some cultural points of interest, including Es Campenment, which is the concentration camp of Formentera island – if you are looking for Hotel Savina Formentera, and end up there you have taken a wrong turn to far less attractive accommodation.
