Hot Air Balloon in La Savina

La Savina, Formentera

About this experience

Drift above the turquoise waters of Formentera on a hot air balloon ride from La Savina. This is the ultimate way to see the island's untouched beauty, from the salt flats of Estany Pudent to the pristine beaches of Ses Illetes. La Savina, the island's main port, becomes your launchpad for a serene journey that reveals Formentera's wild coastline and pine-covered hills from a bird's-eye view.

Locals know that the best time for this experience is at sunrise, when the light paints the Mediterranean in shades of gold and pink. As the balloon rises silently, you'll feel the gentle breeze carrying you over hidden coves and ancient watchtowers. This isn't a tourist trap—it's a chance to see Formentera as the islanders do, with a perspective that few ever witness.

The ride typically lasts about an hour, followed by a traditional toast with cava and local pastries upon landing. Your pilot will share stories of Formentera's history and ecology, pointing out landmarks like the Cap de Barbaria lighthouse and the crystal-clear waters of Cala Saona. It's a peaceful, intimate experience that stays with you long after you've touched down.

Formentera's La Savina is the perfect starting point because of its open skies and gentle winds. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a unique adventure, this hot air balloon ride offers a quiet escape from the crowds. It's a memory that will follow you home like the island's famous golden light.
