For an archipelago which relies on international tourism, it is unsurprising to find a number of lovely places to stay, each offering something specific to the island or part of the island. When it comes to Hotels Formentera is no exception. The smallest island of the archipelago, it is also the most secluded.

Having a local population which doesn't go much over 7,000 and, unlike the rest of the archipelago, it has no airport which means that those who visit have to arrive via ferry or boat, either from the Spanish mainland or from Ibiza. Far from detracting from the island's appeal, it has made it the destination for those who hoping to engage the kind of Mediterranean peace and beauty which is untainted by the presence of others. That this special island also has the picture-postcard enticement of long stretches of clean, prefect beach which lead into the lazy, transparent blue waters, lend it a feeling of paradise on earth.

| Surrounded by pine trees and only 50 meters from the beach, Cala Saona gives the impression of being hidden from all worldly interference. As one of the premier Formentera Hotels, the Cala Saona has been beautifully designed to capture the spirit of a gentle Mediterranean atmosphere. From the soothing lines of the white building to the wonderful pool and its surrounding palms, this is the place to imbibe the best of languid and luxurious island life.

A family-orientated Formentera Hotel, there are a wealth of activities for those moments when you're not baking under the generous warmth of the Mediterranean sun. Having some of the clearest waters in the world only a few meters from the Hotel, Formentera is the ideal place for some quality scuba diving or snorkeling.
In addition, the Cala Saona has facilities like tennis courts and a garden with an array of amusements to occupy the little ones. Not to forget the treat of being able to enjoy authentic Mediterranean and Spanish food which has been prepared by those who really care about it. Fresh seafood treated to the local touch is something not to be missed. |

| If all the pleasure becomes too much to bear while enjoying the friendly hospitality and exceptional surrounds of the most reputable of local Hotels, Formentera is a small island and a trip inland or even right across to the other side is easy to accomplish. The towns and villages are a great place to spend a few hours, perhaps as a prelude to finding one of the two local lagoons. The island is small enough to be traversed on bicycle and there are many paths for those who have the energy. |
