How to get to Formentera? How to travel to Formentera? These are the questions we often receive. The answer is very simple!
By plane from one of the many British airports with destination Ibiza. The airport in Formentera is not present and therefore don’t waste time searching for flights to Formentera! The only way to reach this paradise is to go there by sea. Once you have landed, head to the port of Ibiza (by taxi or bus number 10), take the ferry and in just 30 minutes you will be on the magical island of Formentera.
Once the trip is organized, all you have to do is book an accommodation in Formentera, we recommend a nice apartment in Es Pujols.
In recent years, the number of cities that have direct flights to Ibiza via low-cost airlines has increased (there are no flights to Formentera, since there isn’t the airport), for this reason I decided to make a list for an easy search.
Once you get off the plane, go to the airport exit. The one in Ibiza is very small, so you will surely be quick. How to reach the port of Ibiza from the airport?
You have more options. One is to take bus number 10, which departs from a bus stop right in front of the airport square. You can buy the ticket on board; you will arrive in about 30-40 minutes of travel and the cost is € 3.60. This choice is definitely the cheapest one, but it is not the only suggestion for those who wish to have a low cost vacation in Formentera.
Another solution is to take a comfortable taxi: you will also find these immediately at the exit. The price of the trip varies from about 15 to 20 € but in this case you will be at your destination in a maximum of 15 minutes.
Finally, a solution that is often already booked is the transfer service: a person in charge of your reception will take you by car or minibus (if you are a large group) directly to the port. The prices for this service vary depending on the company you cho0se. The distance from the airport to the port of Ibiza is about 10 km.
At the small maritime station of the port of Ibiza you will find an area where there are 4 ticket offices of different companies. Our suggestion, if you want to travel at a discounted price, is to buy tickets online. In this way, you will save time, avoiding queuing at the ticket office, and money, since the rates on the web are always lower than those on site.
