Picturesque and charming, especially at sunset, Cala d’Hort lies along the south-western coast of Ibiza and is reflected in the magnetic island of Es Vedra, the imposing rocky monolith emerging from the sea like a natural cathedral. This small bay, with its golden sand mixed with gravel, offers one of the most photographed and evocative settings on the island, where natural beauty blends with the mysticism that envelops Es Vedrà.
The 150-metre-long beach of fine white sand is framed by cliffs covered with Mediterranean vegetation and enjoys a privileged position that makes it the perfect vantage point from which to admire the spectacular sunsets behind Es Vedrà, a natural spectacle that attracts visitors from all over the island.
Cala d’Hort is located halfway between the villages of Sant Josep de sa Talaia and Cala Vadella.
The main attraction of Cala d’Hort is undoubtedly Es Vedrà, the rocky island that rises 382 metres out of the sea. This limestone massif, surrounded by numerous legends and mysteries, creates an almost surreal scenario, particularly impressive at sunset when its silhouette is silhouetted against the blazing sky. Es Vedrà is said to be one of the places with the most magnetic energy in the world after the Egyptian pyramids and the Bermuda Triangle.
The beach itself is a small natural jewel. Its crystal-clear waters, which take on different shades of blue depending on the depth, are perfect for swimming and snorkelling. The rocky seabed near the side reefs is home to a rich marine life, offering excellent opportunities for underwater exploration.
The vantage point at Es Vedrà, which can be reached by car or on foot by following a short cliff path, offers an even more spectacular view of the islet and the surrounding coastline. This viewpoint has become a must-see destination for photographers and sunset enthusiasts.
The restaurants on the cliff are a must for lovers of good food. These establishments, some of which are veritable institutions on the island, offer traditional seafood cuisine accompanied by breathtaking panoramic views of Es Vedrà and the Mediterranean.
Also nearby are the remains of an ancient Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which testifies to the island’s rich history and offers an interesting insight into the lives of Ibiza’s ancient inhabitants.
Cala d ‘Hort is located on the west coast of Ibiza, not far from the islet of Es Vedrà. It can be easily reached from Eivissa by taking the EI-700 road heading west to the junction with the PM-803-1 road, which you will have to follow to your destination. The journey from the capital takes about 25 minutes in all, for a distance of 20 kilometres.
Cala d’Hort is located in a very isolated area, and there are no facilities to sleep nearby. To the north, close as the crow flies but distant by car, there is a small resort around Cala Carbò, with a few villas, hotels and flats for rent, while other places to sleep can be found around Cala Vedella, a few kilometres further north.
Cala d'Hort is located on the south-western tip of Ibiza, not far from the islet of Es Vedrà. It is in a fairly remote location, so much so that you will always have to allow at least 30 minutes to reach it from the island's major resorts.
