Formentera to Valencia Ferry: No Direct Ferry, Via Ibiza
With Balearia · 24 to 35 sailings weekly · 2 hours - 8 hours
There is no direct ferry from Formentera to Valencia: the journey always involves a stop in Ibiza. First you cross from La Savina to Ibiza, then from Ibiza to Valencia, on a ferry that may be an overnight one.

Ibiza–Valencia is run by Baleà ria, Trasmed GLE and GNV; Formentera–Ibiza by Baleà ria and Trasmapi. Residents of the Balearic Islands get a 75% discount on the passenger fare on each ferry, but not on the car.

- Formentera–Ibiza: the short leg.
- The resident discount lowers the passenger fare, not the car.
Balearic resident discount
If you live in the Balearic Islands you get a 75% discount on the passenger ticket, on each ferry. On the Ibiza–Formentera leg, Baleà ria applies a bigger reduction if you live in Formentera. It does not apply to the car.

Formentera to Valencia ferry with a car
With a car you board twice: in La Savina and in Ibiza. Between 1 June and 30 September, passing through Ibiza with a car requires authorisation from the Consell d'Eivissa; cars in transit to or from Formentera apply for it at ibizacircular.es and, as far as we know, without a fee. When booking, state the type of car, the make and the model.
If you take a car into Formentera in summer, the formentera.eco permit regulates entry, not exit.
Formentera to Valencia ferry with a dog
If the crossing to Valencia is overnight, the comfortable option is a pet-friendly cabin: on Baleà ria it takes up to two animals if together they weigh no more than 30 kg. GNV also has pet-friendly cabins. On the Formentera–Ibiza leg, Trasmapi takes pets free of charge on a lead or in a carrier. Never leave your pet in the car. More in travelling by ferry with a dog.

All ferries leave from La Savina, Formentera's only port, in the north of the island. There are car and scooter rentals at the port and a bus to the beaches.
Arriving at the port of Valencia

The stop in Ibiza
Ibiza is the compulsory stop on the journey. It has two ferry terminals, Botafoc and the Estación MarÃtima Nueva Ibiza: check on each ticket which one applies. Baleà ria has a free shuttle between the two for foot passengers on some connections; ask whether it covers yours.
Leave a margin between the arrival of the Formentera ferry and the departure of the Valencia one.

This is a domestic route: adults need a valid DNI, NIE or passport. With a car, the vehicle documents and valid insurance. Children under 14 can board with the family book, according to GNV; on Baleà ria, with a DNI or NIE.
I Love Ferry tips for travelling from Formentera to Valencia
- Start with the ferry to Valencia. It is the long leg; choose the Formentera departure afterwards, leaving some margin.
- A cabin if the ferry is overnight. Ibiza–Valencia usually sails at night and a seat gets tiring.
- Leave a margin in Ibiza. If the sea is rough, timetables change; Baleà ria notifies you by WhatsApp or SMS. If you combine ferry companies, the second ferry will not wait.
- Summer with a car: check the ibizacircular.es authorisation before booking.
