Formentera is one of the Mediterranean’s best-kept secrets — a place where time slows down, turquoise waters shimmer like crystal, and beachside luxury takes center stage. With no airport and limited ferry access, the best — and most elegant — way to experience the island is by private yacht charter. Here’s how to create the perfect Formentera yacht charter experience, starting from Ibiza.
How to Get to Formentera: Arrival via Ibiza
From the airport, your driver will take you directly to Marina Ibiza, the island’s most prestigious port. Home to designer boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and iconic venues like Lío Ibiza, Marina Ibiza is the gateway to your yacht adventure.
While some yachts may also be available in other ports such as Marina Botafoch or San Antonio, Marina Ibiza remains the most strategic choice — ideally located on the southern coast, just a short cruise from Formentera. San Antonio, situated on the northwest side of the island, adds extra navigation time, making Marina Ibiza the preferred option for quick and seamless access to the turquoise waters of Formentera.
