Formentera parking in 2026 has three separate systems: regulated blue zones in Es Pujols, La Savina, Sant Francesc Xavier, and Sant Ferran de ses Roques, a paid access control for Ses Illetes Ses Salines Natural Park, and free parking at most beaches such as Cala Saona, Migjorn, Cala en Baster, and Es Caló des Mort. The key practical rule is simple: if you are using a combustion car, plan for meters in town, controlled entry at Ses Illetes, and free dirt lots on the coast; if you are renting an EV such as a Renault Zoe, BMW i3, or Fiat 500, you may avoid both the blue-zone fee and the Ses Illetes access fee depending on the operator’s conditions.
