Es Pujols is the main tourist resort of Formentera, on the north coast between the Es Trucadors peninsula and Punta Prima. It is the one place on the island built around tourism, with the widest choice of hotels, restaurants with terraces over the sea, bars that stay open late and a 690 m beach, Platja des Pujols, directly in front of the promenade.
The town
The choice of hotels is varied and suits every taste, and the restaurants range from local dishes to international cooking; the best placed have terraces overlooking the sea. The nightlife is the town's other strength: pubs and bars abound in the inner streets and a small discotheque rounds off the evening, in a lively atmosphere that does not detract from the peace of the island. Shops and boutiques focus on summer fashion, and a lively flea market fills the summer evenings and nights with sandals, handmade jewellery, printed swimwear and flower wreaths.
The beach, Platja des Pujols, is a 690 m strip of white sand backing on to the promenade, with rocky stretches where the traditional boathouses stand and views north to a scatter of small islands. It is adapted for people with reduced mobility and has every service, from sunbeds and water sports to ice cream parlours, chemists and supermarkets behind it.
Getting there
By road, follow the road that borders Estany Pudent from La Savina, or take the turn-off to the north in Sant Ferran de ses Roques; it is 5.2 km from La Savina and 13 km from La Mola. By bus, lines L1 (Port La Savina to Es Pujols), L2, L5 and L7 stop in the town, L1 and L7 also stop at Platja Es Pujols, and the Bus Turístic L3 blue route from Port La Savina stops at the beach; from 15 October 2026 the blue route (Ses Illetes plus Es Pujols) costs 15 EUR return, half for children up to 12. From 1 May 2026 a regular short trip costs 2.25 EUR and a long trip 3.20 EUR. By bicycle, the road from the port along the lagoon is flat.
Services
Hotels and apartments, restaurants, cafés, ice cream parlours, pubs, bars and a discotheque, boutiques, chemists, supermarkets, souvenir stalls, the summer evening market, a tourist information office and free parking by the beach.
When to go
Summer evenings are what Es Pujols does best: the market, the terraces and the bars. In high season the beach is more crowded than the rest of the island, so mornings are the time to use it. Outside the season it is quieter than its reputation.
Nearby
Platja des Pujols is the town beach, with Platja de ses Canyes 549 m away and Sa Roqueta just over a kilometre to the north-west along the coast. Beyond them Platja de Llevant and Ses Illetes occupy the Es Trucadors peninsula. Sant Ferran de ses Roques is the town inland, and the megalithic tomb of Ca na Costa stands 749 m from the beach.
