Es Vedrà is an islet off the coast of Ibiza, about 2 km from land, in the municipality of Sant Josep. It covers 60 hectares and its highest point reaches 382 metres. It forms part of the Es Vedrà, Es Vedranell and Ponent Islets nature reserve (787 ha), declared in 2002.
It has no soil and is exposed to the sea and wind, yet it holds 166 plant species, twelve of them endemic to the region and one found only on the islet, Santolina vedranensis. The Pityusic wall lizard, Eleonora's falcon, the Balearic shearwater, Audouin's gull and the European shag live there.
Landing is strictly forbidden, except for educational or research purposes and with prior permission. Its unmistakable silhouette, surrounded by legends, can be seen from the southwest coast of Ibiza, around Sant Josep and Cala d'Hort, and watching it at sunset is a classic on the island.
