Es Vedranell and Western Inlets

Es Vedranell and the Western Inlets are some of Ibiza’s hidden gems, offering a peaceful retreat for those seeking a quiet and scenic escape. Es Vedranell is a small island located just off the coast of Ibiza, visible from the island’s western shore. Known for its dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters, this area is perfect for nature lovers and those wanting to get away from the more crowded beaches. The surrounding inlets are quiet, secluded coves where you can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing in stunning surroundings. Whether you’re exploring by boat or hiking along the coast, this area is a must-see for nature enthusiasts.

The Basics

Es Vedranell is part of the larger Es Vedrà nature reserve, which is renowned for its protected wildlife and stunning landscapes. The inlets along the western coast of Ibiza are characterized by clear, turquoise waters, rugged cliffs, and a tranquil atmosphere, making them perfect for those seeking a less touristy experience. These secluded spots are ideal for a peaceful swim or a quiet picnic on the beach. There are no large commercial developments in the area, preserving its natural beauty. Access is limited to boats or hiking, so expect an authentic experience away from the crowds.

Things to Know Before You Go

Es Vedranell and the surrounding inlets offer little in the way of amenities, so it’s important to come prepared. There are no beach bars or shops, so bring enough water, snacks, and sunscreen for your visit. The area can be quite remote, and access to some of the inlets requires either a boat or a bit of hiking, so be prepared for some physical activity. If you're planning to explore by boat, note that the waters around Es Vedranell are protected, and some areas may be off-limits to motorized vessels. Always check local regulations before visiting.

How to Get There

The easiest way to visit Es Vedranell and the Western Inlets is by boat. Several boat rental companies in Ibiza Town or San Antonio offer day trips to the island and nearby inlets. You can also hire a private boat or join a guided tour to explore the area. If you prefer land-based access, you can reach some of the inlets by hiking along the western coast of the island. The nearest access point is from Cala d'Hort, a popular beach on the southwestern coast of Ibiza. From there, it’s a short boat ride or hike to the inlets and Es Vedranell.

When to Get There

The best time to visit Es Vedranell and the Western Inlets is during the spring (April-May) and early autumn (September-October) months. During these periods, the weather is warm but not overly hot, and the area remains peaceful with fewer tourists. The summer months can be busier, especially on the water, so visiting in the shoulder seasons provides a more relaxed atmosphere. If you're hoping to avoid crowds completely, aim to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the area is less likely to be crowded.
