Full Description & Details
Formentera Mar is a small marina in La Savina, the main port town on the island of Formentera, Spain. It sits within the protected Parque Natural de Ses Salines, close to the famous La playa de Illetas beach.
The marina is a practical base for exploring the island, with a promenade lined with shops and restaurants offering diverse cuisine. It is a compact facility, not a large resort marina, and its location near the natural park gives it a quieter, more natural setting than the busier ports on nearby Ibiza.
How to get there
Approach Formentera Mar on VHF channel 9 to announce your arrival and confirm berth availability. The marina is located at approximately 38 degrees 44 minutes North, 1 degree 25 minutes East. Berths for larger yachts up to 30 meters LOA and 3 meters draft are limited, so booking in advance is essential.
The marina has a service station with a crane, boat ramp, and travel lift, and offers winter storage. The nearest airport is Ibiza International Airport, from which you take a ferry to Formentera. Once on the island, the marina is accessible by road with clear signage.
