Na Pelada measures 200 meters by 75, covering approximately 2.8 hectares, and barely reaches 10 meters in altitude.

Its surface is bare rock, without any vegetation cover, which is the origin of its name.

A large isolated area for coastal lovers. A haven of peace for those who appreciate silence and enjoy open spaces and unobstructed views. An unurbanized area on the seafront with a pleasant sea breeze.

Despite the size and characteristics of Illa de Na Pelada, there is a population of the Balearic lizard subspecies (Podarcis lilfordi), a scaly reptile species of the Lacertidae family that lived on the islands of Mallorca, Menorca, and surrounding islets; it has disappeared from the larger and medium islands but continues to live on the small islets, where numerous subspecies exist.
