The crown jewel of the island is Playa de Ses Illetes, a breathtaking stretch of white sand and shallow turquoise water located just a 10-minute drive or bicycle ride from the port.

For spectacular views, visitors can travel about 25 minutes to the eastern end of the island to see the iconic Far de la Mola, a historic lighthouse perched atop dramatic sea cliffs.

Port Location

Cruise ships visiting Bahia de Formentera anchor in the scenic bay, and passengers are brought ashore via tender boats to the harbor of La Savina.

La Savina is a well-equipped marina area featuring a variety of cafes, seafood restaurants, boutique shops, and numerous vehicle rental agencies.

While the port itself is charming, the main beaches and historical villages are located a few kilometers away, meaning passengers will need to arrange local transportation to fully explore the island.

Local Currency

The official currency used in Formentera is the Euro (€).

Credit cards are widely accepted in most restaurants, shops, and rental agencies, but it is always useful to carry some cash for smaller beach kiosks and craft markets.

ATMs are readily available around the La Savina port area and in the main town of Sant Francesc, making currency exchange and cash withdrawals convenient for visitors.
