Sunset at Es Vedra: An Ibiza Elopement

There are few sights in the Mediterranean as iconic as Es Vedra rising from the sea. This dramatic limestone rock formation, surrounded by myth and legend, has become one of the most sought-after backdrops for elopements in Ibiza. At sunset, when the light turns golden and the sky blazes with colour, it creates a setting that feels almost otherworldly.

This couple travelled to Ibiza with a clear vision: just the two of them, the sunset, and a ceremony that would be entirely their own. No guest list, no seating plan, no table assignments — simply a moment of pure connection in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

We scouted the perfect clifftop location where Es Vedra commands the horizon, timing the ceremony to coincide with the golden hour. A simple arrangement of wild flowers and candles marked the spot, but honestly, nature provided all the decoration they needed.

As the sun began its descent, casting long golden light across the cliff, the couple stood together and spoke the words they had written for each other. Their vows were deeply personal — full of inside jokes, shared memories, and promises for the future. Without guests to perform for, there was a rawness and honesty to the moment that was incredibly moving.

The photographer captured the drama of the setting alongside the tenderness between them — silhouettes against the burning sky, quiet embraces with Es Vedra looming behind them, and the joy on their faces as they celebrated with champagne on the cliff's edge.

This elopement was a beautiful reminder that a wedding doesn't need to be big to be unforgettable. Sometimes, the most extraordinary celebrations are the simplest ones.

Elopements in Ibiza are growing in popularity, and it's easy to see why. The island offers dramatic natural scenery, year-round sunshine, and a sense of freedom and romance that makes it the perfect destination for couples who want to do things their own way.

At Amor, we specialise in crafting bespoke elopement experiences. Whether you dream of saying your vows on a clifftop at sunset, on a secluded beach at dawn, or in a hidden garden surrounded by olive trees, we design every detail to reflect your vision.

Our elopement packages typically include venue scouting and setup, a celebrant or officiant, floral styling, photography and/or videography coordination, and a private dinner for two at one of the island's finest restaurants. We can also arrange extras like a private boat trip to Formentera, a couples' spa experience, or a sunrise breakfast the morning after.

The beauty of an elopement is its simplicity, but that doesn't mean it should feel simple. We bring the same care, creativity, and attention to detail to an intimate ceremony for two as we do to a wedding for 200.
