Mirador d'Es Vedra: Best Viewpoints and How to Reach Them
The mirador d'Es Vedra is the clifftop balcony where the rock stands straight out of the sea in front of you. It is the photo you have seen, and reaching it is easier than most people think.
Everyone wants the same shot: Es Vedra rising clean out of the sea with nothing in the way. The miradors above Cala d'Hort are where you get it, and there is more than one.
The main viewpoint: Torre des Savinar
The classic mirador sits by the Torre des Savinar, an 18th century watchtower also called the Torre del Pirata. From the cliff edge Es Vedra and its little sister Es Vedranell line up perfectly. It is the most dramatic angle on the island.
How to get there
Drive towards Cala d'Hort and follow signs for the Torre des Savinar onto a dirt track off the PMV-803. The track is bumpy but fine for a normal car if you go slowly. Park where it widens and walk the last few minutes to the tower and the edge.
The easy alternative
If the track is full or you prefer no walking, the restaurants and the beach at Cala d'Hort give a lower, closer view of the rock with parking and food on hand. See our Cala d'Hort viewpoint guide for that option.
Best time and tips
Come 90 minutes before sunset for parking and the golden light. Bring water and shoes with grip, stay back from the unfenced edge, and check the how to get to Es Vedra guide for routes.
Or see it from sea level
The view from the water is a different thrill. A sunset cruise brings you right under the rock as the sky turns. Pair it with our Es Vedra sunset guide.
