Es Vedra, the mystical island
One of Spain’s most mystical spots and a beautifully breath-taking sight that’s a true emblem of Ibiza, Es Vedra floats less than two miles off the coast of Cala d’Hort. Often compared to the Lost City of Atlantis; the mystical island has long been flaunted as the tip of the long lost city and sees no shortage of visitors who come to investigate each year. Standing at 413 meters high, it is Ibiza’s must-see sights. Known as the island of myths and legends, with a popular theory stating that it is the third most magnetic spot on earth and also often thought to be home to the Sirens of Greek Mythology.


However, beyond all the myths, the Es Vedra sunset is simply out of this world. If you’re lucky enough to pay a visit at dusk, you’ll get one of the best, most romantic and awe-inspiring views of the sun melting far into the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean beyond, with the rock looming large before you like a mysterious miracle of nature. This small, yet hugely beautiful rocky island is without a doubt one of Spain’s best kept secrets!
