With its Mediterranean decor, this boutique hotel of 31 spacious suites with private pools invites guests to slow down, between sun-soaked naps and long Spanish-style lunches.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Blue skies from April onwards, crystal-clear waters, diverse landscapes\u2026 The Balearic Islands welcome visitors from spring weekends through to the long-awaited summer holidays. Once in Ibiza after a two-hour flight from Paris, it only takes around thirty minutes to reach Formentera.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Far from the festive nightlife and seaside resorts of its big sister Ibiza, the island is known for its more preserved atmosphere, slower pace of life, and relaxed bohemian chic spirit. A small slice of paradise, perfect for a few peaceful days in the Spanish archipelago.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Stretching over just more than 80 km\u00b2, Formentera is seven times smaller than Ibiza. Here, everything can be explored by bicycle. Faro de la Mola \u2014 a lighthouse perched on spectacular cliffs on the eastern side of the island \u2014 its small hippie markets, and the capital Sant Francesc Xavier can all be discovered during a two-wheel getaway. Visitors also come for the white sand beach and turquoise waters of Ses Illetes, with its almost Caribbean atmosphere, and Cala Saona, a small cove surrounded by red cliffs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By the sea, enjoying a beautiful promenade, bars almost at the water\u2019s edge, and charming local boutiques, Es Pujols is the liveliest village on the island. Just a five-minute walk from the beach, Mar Suites Formentera is one of the most confidential and exclusive hotels in this oasis at the heart of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>An immaculate island-inspired design, natural materials, and lush vegetation<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Opened four years ago, Mar Suites Formentera belongs to the MarCapital group and is operated by Universal Beach Hotels. The property only opens during the beautiful season, from March or April, to offer guests the very best of the island.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42877\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42877\" style=\"width: 753px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-42877\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-11-753x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"753\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-11-753x1024.jpg 753w, https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-11-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-11-768x1044.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-11-60x82.jpg 60w, https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-11.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42877\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mar Suites Formentera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Nothing on the outside could prepare visitors for the charm that radiates from the hotel as soon as they enter. Forget the traditional reception area, usually the first space discovered in luxury properties. At Mar Suites Formentera, the entrance opens directly onto the restaurant and bar area. Fine sand covers the floor, recalling the upscale beach clubs of the Balearics, complemented by wooden tables, woven chairs, and crochet parasols.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lush greenery enhances the natural atmosphere of the property, with immaculate finishes punctuated by elegant materials such as dry stone, juniper wood, sisal rope, and wooden reeds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The program? Poolside relaxation, yoga, and paella in the sun<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is where breakfast is served, in the form of a buffet complemented by a classic \u00e0 la carte menu featuring eggs cooked to order, pancakes, and puddings, as well as lunches and dinners at the Es Garrover restaurant, and aperitifs at the pool bar nestled among the tables.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42875\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42875\" style=\"width: 753px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-42875\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-13-753x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"753\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-13-753x1024.jpg 753w, https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-13-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-13-768x1044.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-13-60x82.jpg 60w, https:\/\/magazine.luxus-plus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Agua-Galeria-13.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42875\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mar Suites Formentera<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the past two years, the chef from Valencia has been reinventing Spanish culinary classics enriched with Mediterranean flavors.
