Platja de Cala d’Hort is one of Ibiza’s most scenic and atmospheric beaches, located on the island’s southwest coast. Set in a sheltered bay and framed by rocky hills, the beach is best known for its breathtaking views of the mysterious islet of Es Vedrà rising from the sea. With clear turquoise waters and a relaxed, natural setting, Cala d’Hort offers a quieter, more authentic side of Ibiza.

The area later became protected due to its ecological and scenic value, preserving its traditional character. Es Vedrà, visible from the beach, has inspired legends, myths, and spiritual beliefs, adding cultural intrigue to the location and enhancing its appeal.
