Dunas de Formentera, Spain

On the untouched shores of Formentera, where turquoise water laps against pale sand and pines whisper in the wind, Dunas de Formentera redefines island simplicity. 

With just 45 rooms, this modern boutique beach hotel is all soft light, sand tones, and sea air—a place to walk barefoot from terrace to tide. 

It’s a refuge for those who crave peace, design, and the rhythm of nature.

What Makes It Special

• Beachfront tranquility: Steps from one of the island’s most beautiful and uncrowded beaches.
• Effortless design: Whitewashed walls, pale wood, linen textures, and glass framing endless blue.
• Relaxed rhythm: Days shaped by sun, siestas, and the sound of waves instead of clocks.
• Gastronomy with roots: Fresh island produce, seafood, and chilled rosé savored in open-air dining.
• Conscious luxury: Eco-minded architecture and low-impact operations perfectly tuned to Formentera’s natural calm.

A Day at Dunas de Formentera

Morning

Wake to the hush of waves and the scent of pine. A basket of warm pastries and island honey waits on your terrace. You wander barefoot to the beach as the first swimmers trace silver lines across the still water.

Afternoon

Lunch is grilled octopus and tomato salad under a palm pergola, followed by a nap in a hammock shaded by dunes. A lazy bike ride brings you to hidden coves, wind combing your hair.

Evening

Sunset paints the sky tangerine; cocktails glow amber at the beach bar. Dinner feels like a secret—simple dishes, salt on your skin, the horizon dissolving into night.

Night

The island sleeps under a wash of stars, the sea whispering like a lullaby through open windows.

Insider Tips for Dunas de Formentera

• Ask for a golf cart transfer when you arrive—the terrain is hilly, and walking with luggage is tiring in the midday sun.
• The beach in front of the hotel has silky-soft sand and clear, shallow water, great for swimming and snorkeling.
• There are no fixed hotel sunbeds, only foldable chairs and umbrellas you can borrow. For more comfort, rent public loungers (€10/day).
• Bring comfortable sandals or espadrilles. The stone paths between rooms and the beach can get hot and uneven.
• The hotel is remote, so rent a scooter or small car to explore other beaches (Migjorn, Illetes, Cala Saona).
• Hotel transfers from the ferry terminal are around €25–70, depending on service level. Confirm price before arrival.
