Main image

Es Vedrà is a steep, uninhabited limestone islet off the southwest coast of Ibiza in the Balearic Islands. The rock is a conspicuous maritime feature and a common subject of coastal views from Ibiza.

The islet rises to roughly 413 meters and is often photographed from shoreline viewpoints around Cala d’Hort and from the ruined watchtower Torre des Savinar on Ibiza’s coast. People visit the surrounding coastline for panoramic sea views, sunsets and boat trips that pass the rock; there are no visitor facilities on Es Vedrà itself.

Es Vedrà is a natural geological formation with no recorded long-term habitation. Its prominence has made it a navigational landmark for centuries and a feature in local maritime charts.

The islet lies a short distance offshore from the Cala d’Hort area on the southwest coast of Ibiza, visible from multiple coastal viewpoints and accessible only by sea for close approaches.

  • Height: The rock rises sharply from the sea to a peak of about 413 meters, making it a prominent landmark visible from the southwest coast of Ibiza.
  • Access and viewpoints: No permanent population or visitor facilities are present on the islet; most views are from mainland vantage points such as the Torre des Savinar (pirate tower) and nearby beaches.
