There are probably very few people by now who have never heard of the magical island of Es Vedrà. Back in hippy times, the little island off the Cala d'Hort coast was the stuff that legends are made of. People spoke of UFO sightings and magnetic fields that made compass dials spin as soon as they came close. Es Vedrà really does have something mysteriously majestic about it. Esoteric groups believe it gives off an energy field, but even the rest of us are inspired to dream by the sheer beauty of the location.
We have often written about the Cala d' Hort bay and the islands of Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell, but this time, we have a new recommendation to offer: take advantage of a cooler afternoon to go for a walk up to the platform under the Torre des Savinar watchtower, sit down and enjoy the impressive view out over the craggy coast, with Atlantis down below and the island's landmark straight ahead. However, make sure you take a bottle of water with you on your hike.

How to get there: drive out of Sant Jose towards Cala d'Hort. At the junction where the road starts its descent down towards the bay, take a left and then follow one of the dirt tracks to the right that lead towards the watchtower (although none will take you right up to it).
Leave your car at the end of the track and walk along the coastal cliffs or over the hills - depending which track you chose to follow... and enjoy a typically Ibizan adventure.
The path to the watchtower crosses private property, so please be considerate. Make sure that you take all of your rubbish away with you when you leave.
