Formentera island; Travel Guide

Formentera is the fourth largest island in the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera). The most important thing before you start booking your vacation on the island is to be completely sure of the dates (day of arrival and departure day) to book an accommodation that would be the most expensive service on the island and in many cases the most availability problems will give us according to our holiday dates.
In Formentera 100% of the services are active from May to the end of October, the rest of the year there are minimal services and maybe we can not access some services such as renting bicycles or motorcycles, some restaurants or most houses and apartments that remain closed.
Very important accommodation!
In high season there is a large influx of visitors and the availability of accommodation can be reduced, and on the contrary in low season most accommodations close so we have the same availability problem. For this reason we always advise before booking plane or boat tickets, to ensure the reservation and availability of our accommodation on the island. Once we have secure accommodation, the next step is to secure the plane tickets and the ferry to Formentera, although these last two services always have guaranteed availability.
- In Formentera we have hotels, hostels, houses and apartments.
- Camping or caravans are not allowed.
- There is no camping area or service available.
- Most accommodation only open in summer.
- In winter, the most usual thing is to stay in a hotel that stays open all year.
- All Visitformentera.com accommodations are legal and comply with all tourism regulations.
Transport and ferry to Formentera:
Once we have our confirmed accommodation reservation the next step is the transportation reservation to the island; plane or boat to Ibiza and ferry from Ibiza to Formentera. Finally we already have where to sleep and how to get there, so we can go to the reservation to a vehicle to be able to move freely on the island.
