Description
The Marina de Formentera is located within the Inner Harbour Deportiva la Savina, in the only port area of the Balearic Islands, located in the northern part. It is here that all the hydrofoils and ferries arrive and La Savina is also the only commercial port area.
The Marina de Formentera has been completely restored in 2006. It has a number of 64 moorings for boats with a length between 8 and 38 meters in length. The draft of the port entrance is between 3.5 and 4 meters, while in the maximum draft of the dock area can be reduced and ranges from 2.5 meters to 3.5 meters.
Each berth has a pedestal with sockets for electricity (220 V and 380 V), a socket for the supply of fuel and a source of drinking water. There is also a fuel station in the port area. The Port administration service is open 24 hours on 24 and the marina offers to customers who have to moor, a support service via the auxiliary boat.
As far as waste collection is concerned, Marina de Formentera has a separate waste collection area, a waste oil collector and an aspiration system for gray and black waters and oily water. Inside the area, there are also toilets, shower areas and a weather service. A repair workshop is available for the yachtsmen, as well as a service for the maintenance and cleaning of the boats.
In the marina, you can find a rental services for car, motorbike, boat and taxi boats. For people wishing to have a refreshing meal, the Marina de Formentera has a bar-restaurant and a sushi bar.
Just outside the port area (within a kilometer radius) you can find post offices, banks, hotels, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and a sailing school, as well as a nautical yard and a travel lift of up to 35 tons. At about three kilometers from the Marina, there is a pharmacy and a medical center.
The mild climate in every season, the clear waters and the white sandy beaches make Formentera a place much appreciated by tourists all over Europe. The tolerant Spanish laws on the subject and the isolated beaches make it a very popular stage amongst the lovers of naturism.
The waters rich in vegetation and protected by the Marine Reserves make Formentera an appreciated destination by lovers of diving excursions.
Formentera is a very green island, appreciated not only by sea lovers but also by hiking enthusiasts. There are actually 19 green trails, to explore on foot or by bicycle, to discover the hinterland of the island. Among the many trails, there is also one that follows the traces of an ancient Roman road. The natural landscape consists of dunes, pine forests and Mediterranean vegetation, and it is important to know that many areas are considered protected areas.
Characteristic of the Formentera area are also the remarkable white mills, lime-covered and wooden blades.
The main center of the island is San Francisco Xavier, located about three kilometers from the port area. Here is the most famous square in Formentera - the town hall - and a nice shopping area. Crossing San Francisco Xavier, you meet San Ferran, a renowned tourist destination. Another tourist attraction is Es Pujols, where you can find a wide selection of restaurants, bars, discos and nightclubs.
The quietest town is La Mola, which owes part of its tranquility to the discreet distance that separates it from the most central towns (it is located almost 20 kilometers from the Marina of Formentera) and to the hilly position; but that on the other hand, can offer you magnificent views.
