Far de la Savina, lighthouse in Spain
Far de la Savina is a beacon located on the island of Formentera off the Spanish coast. The white stone structure stands on a rocky point and guides maritime traffic passing through the strait with its rotating light.
The beacon was built in the 19th century to warn ships of the dangerous waters between Formentera and Ibiza. It is part of a network of lighthouses that protected maritime traffic around the Balearic Islands.
The beacon sits at the northern tip of Formentera and is best visited in clear weather when views are unobstructed. A path winds around the rocks at the base of the structure, offering photo opportunities and vistas across the water.
The beacon remains one of the oldest functioning navigation aids in the region and continues to guide real maritime traffic today. Its powerful light is visible even from Ibiza and has served seafarers for generations as a crucial landmark.

Formentera offers beaches with soft white sand, rocky coves, and lighthouses that show its maritime history. In the north, Ses Illetes and S'Espalmador welcome visitors with sandy stretches that stick out of the blue-green water. Further south, Migjorn spreads out over a long distance, with different spots to relax. When exploring the Ses Salines nature park and climbing the lighthouses at La Mola and Cabo de Berberia, you see great views of the Mediterranean. Small bays like Calo Des Mort and Cala Saona reveal a still lively underwater world, where clear water shows the sea life around the rocks. The island invites gentle exploration. You can walk along wooden paths by the coast, stroll on sandy beaches in red or white depending on the place, and look for old fishing huts that dot the shore. Every part of Formentera tells its own story, of a place where sea, sand, and rocks live side by side, creating different landscapes that are easy to get to. The pace here slows down naturally. Just follow the trails and coastlines to see the beauty of the Balearic shoreline.
