Ibiza - Formentera Ferry

1.- Getting to the island of Ibiza

The first step is to reach the island of Ibiza, located just north of Formentera. You have two main options to get there:

Traveling by plane: Check various flights from your origin to see if direct flights are available or if you need a layover. Your final destination must always be Ibiza Airport, as it is impossible to fly directly to Formentera.

Traveling by boat: If you prefer to sail from the Spanish mainland, routes are available with departures from Barcelona, Valencia, Denia, or Mallorca, always arriving in Ibiza.

Is there a direct route to Formentera without going through Ibiza? Yes. In high season, ferry companies like Balearia usually operate direct routes to Formentera departing from Denia. Keep in mind that these frequencies vary each year, so we recommend confirming them before planning your trip.

2.- Already in Ibiza: How to get to the port for Formentera

Depending on how you landed or docked on the island, getting to the maritime station varies:

If you arrived by boat:

If you dock at the main port of Ibiza Town (La Marina), you can walk directly to the Maritime Station to catch the ferry to Formentera.

If you arrive at the port of San Antonio, you will need to cross the island toward Ibiza Town. Your options are the public bus or a taxi (taking approximately 30 to 40 minutes).

If you arrived by plane:

Ibiza has a single airport. Right outside the exit on the right, you will find the Line 10 bus stop, which runs every 30 minutes, takes half an hour, costs about €3.20, and drops you off just 200 meters from the Maritime Station.

The second option is a taxi: it takes between 15 and 20 minutes and costs roughly €10 to €20 depending on the season and traffic.
