Are there any scenic viewpoints around Serra de Tramuntana worth visiting?

The Serra de Tramuntana mountain range reveals some of the island’s most stunning vistas, where golden light spills across terraced slopes and the Mediterranean shimmers far below. For a classic panorama, the Mirador Es Colomer near Formentor offers dramatic views over the northern coast, with its lofty cliffs plunging into turquoise waters. It’s easily accessible by car along the Ma-2210, and the viewpoint is a favorite at sunset as the sea turns molten gold.

A quieter alternative is the trail to the Puig de Maria above Pollença. The short hike takes you to the summit crowned by a historic monastery perched above the town. From here, you’ll spot snow-capped peaks in winter, the patchwork of fields, and the bay of Alcúdia stretching out on the east. This spot invites peaceful reflection, away from more crowded paths.

Those seeking something more challenging find tremendous reward climbing the Barranc de Biniaraix, one of the last traditional agricultural terraces carved into the Tramuntana slopes. The narrow, sometimes steep path threads through chestnut and olive trees, opening up in places to breathtaking views of valleys and tiny stone farmhouses. Each viewpoint along this route captures a different facet of the island’s rugged, serene heartland.
