The harbour of La Savina is a main entry point for visitors to Formentera and is where the La Savina market is located. Thus, visitors not only disembark in a paradise of crystal clear beaches and Mediterranean landscapes, but also in a world of creativity and tradition after only a few minutes on the island.
The port of La Savina is the first contact that travellers have with Formentera. This picturesque little harbour, bathed by its characteristic turquoise waters, is a vibrant place full of life and activity. This is the setting for the La Savina Market.
The wooden stalls of the La Savina Market are home to true gems that exude talent and creativity through a variety of handmade products. Here you can find everything from delicate textiles to eye-catching accessories, perfect to remember your visit to the island or to find a gift for someone special. The textile stalls offer airy dresses made of chiffon, a light and fresh fabric that captures the essence of summer in Formentera. These dresses, available in a range of colours and designs, are ideal to wear during your holiday and afterwards, as a reminder of the sunny days and starry nights on the island.
Handmade jewellery is another of the main protagonists of the flea market. Artisans work with local materials and traditional techniques to create unique pieces that combine beauty and meaning. From bracelets and necklaces to rings and earrings, each piece of jewellery tells a story of the island and the hands that created it. In addition, there are a variety of decorative objects made from natural materials such as wood, shells and stones, perfect to take a little piece of the spirit of Formentera to your home.

And best of all, you can enjoy this shopping in outdoors, by the sea, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
It is important to remember that the La Savina Flea Market is only available from May to October, when the influx of visitors to the island is at its highest. Stalls are open from 10 am to midnight, allowing visitors to enjoy a unique shopping experience all day long.
