About this destination
Es Vedrà is a striking limestone rock island off the southwest coast of Ibiza, rising almost 400 metres from the sea. Surrounded by legend and myth—from magnetic anomalies to UFO sightings—it has become one of the most iconic backdrops for sunset boat trips. You can't land on the island (it's a nature reserve), but cruising around it by boat offers unforgettable views, especially at golden hour.
