Formentera has only a handful of luxury hotels, and that is what makes them special: tourist beds are capped and building is strictly controlled, so every upmarket address enjoys an exceptional location, facing the sea or in the heart of a village. They are spread over a few kilometres, between the long Migjorn beach, Es Pujols, Cala Saona and Sant Francesc. The most important thing is to choose your area: wild beach, lively village or little capital.
