The Es Pujols market, located in this small town in northern Formentera, is one of six hippy markets on the island.
You can visit it between May and September, in the evening, along the seafront in Es Pujols, just opposite the beach. Here, you’ll find numerous stalls where local artisans showcase their handcrafted creations, from clothing and accessories to jewellery, ceramics, and many other products.
The market opens at 8 pm and closes around midnight. A great option is to take a leisurely stroll before or after dinner, whichever suits you best.
The Es Pujols seafront is a great place for a walk, as it’s free from road traffic and is often quite busy, both day and night. The atmosphere here is fantastic, always marked by a sense of harmony, freedom, and good vibes that you’re sure to fall in love with.

Exploring Es Pujols
The village of Es Pujols stands out for its magnificent natural surroundings, a wide range of leisure and entertainment options, and a lively nightlife.
Strolling along the seafront is a great way to discover charming little shops or to enjoy a drink at one of its cafés. If you walk to the end of the promenade, you’ll find access to several quiet, picturesque coves with fishing boats.
Es Pujols beach is an urban beach with fine sand, crystal-clear waters, and an almost pristine appearance. Its calm, shallow waters are perfect for children and for snorkelling. The beach also offers sunbed and parasol rentals, access for people with reduced mobility, and a wide range of water sports, including windsurfing, sailing, and kayaking, among others. Additionally, there are a variety of beach bars, restaurants, and kiosks, ideal for taking a break and relaxing.
If you prefer to visit smaller, quieter coves, a walk along the wooden boardwalks from Es Pujols beach will lead you to Sa Roqueta and Ses Canyes beaches, two fabulous spots that bring you closer to paradise.
