Houses and villas for sale in La Savina, Formentera
Looking for houses and villas for sale in La Savina, right where the ferries from Ibiza arrive and only minutes from the beaches of Ses Illetes? La Savina is the port of Formentera, a small harbour village on the north-west coast with the island’s marina, the ferry terminal and a promenade lined with restaurants and cafés. Between the lagoons of Estany des Peix and Estany Pudent and the salt flats of the Ses Salines Natural Park, it is the most practical place on the island for owners who travel often or keep a boat. The market is small and consists mainly of apartments and duplexes near the harbour, with a few detached houses on larger plots along the roads towards Sant Francesc and Porto Salè, some with views over the Estany des Peix lagoon.
La Savina lies only a few minutes from the island capital Sant Francesc, where schools, the health centre and the hospital are located. Properties directly around the harbour are mostly apartments and duplexes with views over the marina or the lagoon, while detached houses with gardens and pools are found on the edges of the village. Because much of the surrounding land belongs to the Ses Salines Natural Park, new construction is very limited and supply remains small.

Living in La Savina
La Savina is the gateway to Formentera, lively when the ferries arrive and calm in the evenings. Along the harbour there are restaurants, cafés, car and bike rentals and shops, and in summer a hippie market takes place in the afternoon. From the promenade on the western side of the harbour you watch the sunset over the sea, and the marina is home to sailing and motor boats of all sizes. Compared with the busier Es Pujols, La Savina is more practical than touristic, and many residents work in the port or travel regularly to Ibiza.
Coast, services and connections
Ferry terminal, with several shipping companies running regular boats to Ibiza port all year, the fast ferry takes about 30 minutes.
Marina, with private moorings and boat rentals for trips to Espalmador and along the coast of Formentera.
Ses Illetes and Llevant, the famous white sand beaches of the Ses Salines Natural Park, about 5 to 10 minutes north by car or bicycle.
Estany des Peix and Estany Pudent, the two lagoons on either side of the village, with cycle paths that lead into the natural park.
Sant Francesc, the island capital with supermarkets, pharmacy, bank, town hall and health centre, about 5 minutes by car.
The Hospital de Formentera and the health centre are located in Sant Francesc, about 5 minutes away, and specialist care is provided at Can Misses hospital on Ibiza, which is easy to reach by ferry from La Savina. The nearest public primary school is CEIP Mestre Lluís Andreu in Sant Francesc, and the secondary school IES Marc Ferrer is also in Sant Francesc. International schools are located on Ibiza, and from La Savina they are more easily reached by ferry than from any other part of Formentera.
What makes La Savina special?
La Savina is the only place on Formentera where you can step off the ferry and be at home within minutes, with the marina, the salt flats and the island’s best-known beaches all close by. The harbour was built at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century to export salt from the salt flats, and the old dykes that protected it now mark the start of a cycle route into the Ses Salines Natural Park. For boat owners, few places in the Balearics combine a home and a marina berth so closely, and our guide to renting a boat in Ibiza explains the options for exploring both islands by sea.
Year-round living in La Savina
Thanks to the port, La Savina stays active all year, and with Sant Francesc only a few minutes away, everything needed for daily life is close by. In winter many restaurants and shops close, and ferry crossings can occasionally be affected by bad weather. Homes close to the harbour and the lagoons should be checked for humidity and insulation, and buyers should also consider noise from the port and ferry traffic in summer.

Prices of houses and villas in La Savina in 2026
Very few properties in La Savina come onto the market, so prices depend strongly on the view over the marina or the lagoon, the size and the plot. On the market, asking prices range from around €850,000 for a two-bedroom duplex close to the port to around €2.6 million for detached houses along the road towards Porto Salè and around €3.4 million for large family houses with five bedrooms on plots of about 5,000 m² overlooking the Estany des Peix lagoon. In current listings, an exceptional duplex apartment with three bedrooms and about 146 m² in La Savina is offered at around €1.5 million. These are asking prices in 2026 and not guaranteed sale prices.
Purchase costs in La Savina
Resale properties are subject to the Balearic property transfer tax ITP on the higher of the deed value and the Catastro reference value (valor de referencia), at 8% up to €400,000, 9% up to €600,000, 10% up to €1 million, 12% up to €2 million and 13% above. On a tax base of €1 million, the tax is around €90,000, before notary, land registry, lawyer and surveyor. New builds bought directly from a developer are generally subject to 10% IVA plus AJD instead. If you plan to finance part of the purchase, see our guide to getting a mortgage in Ibiza, which also applies to Formentera.
What should buyers check before buying?
In La Savina, check whether the property is covered by building licences and registered in the Catastro and land registry, and for apartments review the community fees, the rules of the building and the condition of the common areas. Close to the harbour and the natural park, the Coastal Law (Ley de Costas) and the protection of the Ses Salines Natural Park can restrict works and extensions. If you want a marina berth, check availability and conditions separately, as moorings are not included with a property. Buyers who count on rental income should know that new tourist rental licences are currently not being granted on Formentera, so only properties with an existing licence can be rented to holidaymakers. Our guide to buying a property in Ibiza explains the process, taxes and legal checks in more detail, and you can compare La Savina with other locations in our full selection.
Demand for houses and villas in La Savina
Demand comes from buyers who travel often between Formentera and Ibiza, from boat owners who want their home close to the marina, and from residents who work on the island. Apartments with views over the harbour or the lagoon and houses within walking distance of the port are the most sought after, and because new construction is very limited, good properties are rare. Buyers who want more space or a quieter rural setting often compare La Savina with the countryside around Sant Francesc and Sant Ferran.
Why buy a house or villa in La Savina?
La Savina offers the shortest connection to Ibiza, the marina at your door and the beaches of Ses Illetes a few minutes away, all within a protected natural setting. It suits owners who want an easy, practical base on Formentera, whether for summer stays, regular trips to Ibiza or life by the sea with a boat.
