Es Vedrà & Atlantis - Punta Roja, Ibiza

Julie

Es Vedra had been on our list for a while. This impressive, mysterious rock formation off the coast of Ibiza is a must-see. It was a beautiful, calm day when we sailed past it. According to the stories, Es Vedra is one of the most magnetic places on Earth, similar to the Bermuda Triangle. Fishermen and sailors often talk about compass malfunctions and strange light phenomena around the rock. However, we didn’t experience any of that. No issues with our autopilot or compass, just the imposing sight of the rock standing tall above the sea. After passing Es Vedra and dropping anchor, we took the dinghy to another special place: “Atlantis.” The real name is Sa Pedrera de Cala d’Hort, an old quarry where stones for the city walls of Ibiza were once carved. Today, it’s a surreal landscape of eroded rocks, natural pools and art installations. Everywhere you look, there are symbols and figures carved into the rocks, left by artists and travelers who were clearly inspired by the atmosphere. The name “Atlantis” fits perfectly; it feels like discovering a hidden, forgotten city. When we returned to the boat, the sky began to change colors. The sun sank behind Es Vedra and the entire sky turned warm shades of orange and pink. The rock stood out as a silhouette against the light. Everything was still, with only the sound of the water gently lapping against the boat. In the evening, we stopped by to visit our neighbors, Caetlin and Ben from Sailing Donna. Afterward, I grabbed a flashlight and together with Finn, went looking for fish in the water from our boat. It’s fascinating how, in the pitch-dark water, a single beam of light can reveal so much life. Finn was absolutely in his element. That night, it was pitch black. No light pollution, no sounds, just nature around us. After such a day full of beautiful spots and little adventures, I crawled into bed, tired but happy. This was one of those days you won’t soon forget.
