Choosing where to stay is one of the most important decisions when planning a holiday in Formentera. The smallest of the Balearic Islands offers options for every type of traveller: from beachfront hotels to holiday apartments, rural houses for rent and, for those seeking total comfort, holiday clubs with an All Inclusive arrangement such as the Insotel Club Maryland, with its Mediterranean-style bungalows surrounded by pine trees next to Migjorn beach. In this guide we review the main ways to stay in Formentera.
Hotels and resorts right by the beach
Hotels and resorts are the most convenient option for those who prefer to have all services taken care of. In Formentera they are concentrated mainly around Migjorn beach and Es Pujols, allowing you to enjoy the sea without needing a car.
This formula is ideal for families and for those who value the convenience of having reception, dining, daily cleaning, pools and entertainment programmes. All Inclusive hotels also bring predictability to the budget by including meals, drinks and activities in a single price.
Holiday apartments: independence and flexibility
Holiday apartments are one of the most popular options in Formentera, especially among couples, groups of friends and families seeking independence. Having your own kitchen lets you organise meals freely, which is very practical when travelling with young children or for longer stays.
Most are located in towns such as Es Pujols, La Savina or Sant Ferran, close to services, restaurants and bus stops. It's the perfect formula for those who want to experience the island at their own pace.
Houses and villas for rent: the most authentic Formentera
For those seeking privacy and a more direct connection with nature, renting houses and villas is an increasingly popular option. Many are located inland, among fields and country lanes, or in more exclusive areas with sea views.
This option offers space, privacy and the chance to live like a local, although it usually requires your own vehicle to get around and booking well in advance, since availability is limited and in high demand during the peak season.
Insotel Club Maryland: All Inclusive bungalows among pine trees
If you want to combine the comfort of a holiday club with the charm of Formentera's natural surroundings, the Insotel Club Maryland is one of the island's most distinctive options. Located on the seafront of Migjorn beach, this resort is made up of spacious Mediterranean-style bungalows surrounded by gardens and pine trees, creating a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for switching off.
The bungalows offer bright bedrooms, a living area depending on category, a microwave, a fridge and a terrace or balcony where you can relax outdoors —a simple, practical way to experience Formentera with room for the whole family.
The comfort of All Inclusive Gold
The resort operates on an All Inclusive Gold basis, which includes full board at the buffet restaurant, selected drinks, snacks and ice creams throughout the day, late breakfasts at the pool bar, themed dinners and full access to sports and entertainment. An ideal choice for those who want to be completely carefree during their holiday.
Fun for the whole family
The Insotel Club Maryland has two adult pools, two children's pools, generous sunbathing areas and the Insi Splash Park, a water park with slides and water games for the little ones. Added to this are sports activities such as tennis, football and mountain biking, a complete day and evening entertainment programme run by the Insotel Team, a playground and free bike rental.
A privileged location
The complex is just steps from Migjorn beach, one of the longest and quietest on the island, 13 km from the Port of La Savina (with ferry connections from Ibiza and Denia) and 10 km from Sant Francesc Xavier, the main town. A perfect starting point for discovering coves, viewpoints and bike routes all over Formentera.
