Es Vedrà from the Sea: The Icon of Ibiza You Can Only Truly Understand While Sailing
Blue Ocean Ibiza


Majestic, magnetic and mysterious, Es Vedrà is more than an islet, it’s the very symbol of Ibiza’s spirit.
Only when you approach it from the sea do you truly understand its power, its silence and that special energy so many sailors talk about.

A Symbol Steeped in History and Legend

Located off Cala d’Hort, on the southwest coast of Ibiza, Es Vedrà rises more than 380 metres above the sea.
It has inspired Phoenician legends, tales of sirens, and mystical stories. But beyond its mythic aura, Es Vedrà holds immense ecological and geological value, forming part of Ibiza’s protected natural heritage.

Fact: Es Vedrà belongs to the Nature Reserve of Es Vedrà, Es Vedranell and the Western Islets, a strictly protected area in the Balearic Islands.

How to Get There and Which Route to Choose

Departure from Marina Botafoch

The classic route: Playa d’en Bossa → Ses Salines → Cala Jondal → Porroig → Cala d’Hort → Es Vedrà.
Approximate sailing time: About 1 hour and 30 minutes one way.

Recomendación Blue Ocean

Fondea en Cala d’Hort para disfrutar de la vista frontal del islote y su atardecer anaranjado.

Watching the Sunset in Front of Es Vedrà: An Unforgettable Moment

Nothing compares to the moment when the sun sinks behind the islet.
The sea turns gold, silence surrounds you, and you realise why Es Vedrà is considered the spiritual heart of the Mediterranean.

Design your route to Es Vedrà and experience the magic from the deck.
