Hotels in Formentera

There are a number of different accommodation islands on the Balearic island of Formentera. You can stay at one of the Formentera hotels, or you could opt for a hostel. There is also the option of private accommodation which is mainly made up of apartments in the villages and farmhouses out in rural locations. The one thing you can't do is go camping because this is strictly forbidden. With a local stock of only a few thousand properties, and with few resort hotels, find a place to stay in the summer months of July and August can be difficult. Outside of this summer season you will have an easier time finding what you need.
