The Best Hotels in Formentera for Every Traveller

It’s all in the name, with this sleek, all-white, family-run hotel, near to Es Pujols Beach. The large pool is the hub of the Blanco, with a laid-back vibe during the day and nicely lit bar area serving excellent cocktails at night. Although fairly basic in terms of luxuries, the whole hotel is bright and modern, and has everything you need for a relaxed pool or beach-side holiday, with a pretty decent restaurant to boot. Rooms are on the small side (but do have king-size beds), and there are no baths in the ensuites, but as with the rest of the hotel, everything is pleasingly white and contemporary, and superior rooms have their own sun terraces.

This very family-friendly aparthotel is a 10-minute drive from San Francisco Javier, Formentera’s main town, and a stroll to the beach. Classic rustic-chic in style, with whitewashed walls and slatted shutters, there are 29 apartments all set around lush gardens. There is a decent sized pool and hot tub, as well as six more luxury bungalows, with private outdoor spa tubs. Bali beds are spread out through the hotel’s gardens, and there are outdoor tennis courts and an excellent restaurant if you tire of self-catering facilities.

With over 300 guest rooms, the Hotel Riu La Mola is one of just a few big chain hotels on the island. This whitewashed complex tiers down a pine-covered hillside overlooking the picturesque eastern end of Migjorn Beach. It features everything you’d expect from a resort-style property, with two swimming pools, kids’ club and spa facilities, plus a choice of on-site dining. Splash out a little more for a sea-view room and you won’t be disappointed.

The Hotel Casbah is set in a lovely secluded pine-scented forest and is only a 10-minute walk from the wilder west end of gorgeous Migjorn Beach. The hotel comprises a charming collection of whitewashed cuboid blocks, with interior design following a tasteful Moroccan theme. The 29 rooms are rustic-chic in style, all air conditioned and with terraces overlooking the pretty surrounds. There’s also a peaceful outdoor swimming pool, and the hotel is known to have one of the best restaurants in the area. A poolside bar and cosy indoor bar complete a superb boutique property.

This large hotel has 333 rooms, and puts you in a fantastic location overlooking the beautiful Migjorn Beach. The guest rooms and studio apartments are all airy and modern, with balconies or terraces boasting spectacular sea views. With three pools (two outdoor, one indoor), a spa, sports facilities and a kids’ play area, there’s no shortage of things to do for all age groups. The beach club attached to the hotel has a great restaurant and beach bar to make the most of in the evenings.
