What are some hiking trails near Mallorca that offer amazing coastal and beach views?

Along the winding paths of the Serra de Tramuntana, it’s easy to spot the sea shimmering through the olive groves before the trail even starts to climb. One of the finest hikes begins near Deià, following the rocky coast toward Cala Deià, a small cove where turquoise waters meet rugged cliffs. The paths here reward walkers with sweeping views of the Mediterranean and hidden beaches only accessible by foot or boat. In spring and autumn, the hillsides are lush with wildflowers, and the scent of pine mingles with salty sea air.

For a gentler route, the trail along the Formentor peninsula leads to a viewpoint overlooking the famous Formentor beach, a crescent of white sand edged by pine forests. The effort pays off with panoramic vistas of the island’s northern coast and the endless blue beyond. Another popular option is the path from Port de Sóller upwards, where the vintage Sóller train can be glimpsed winding along the valley below. The way often passes through terraced fields and shaded almond groves, capturing the essence of rural Mallorca.

If you prefer a more secluded beach at the end of your hike, trekking to Cala Mondragó from the nearby village of Santanyí offers a refreshing blend of shaded forest trails and stunning seascapes. The island’s network of TIB buses can help you reach trailheads like these, making it easy to combine hiking with local specialties, such as pa amb oli or a glass of Binissalem wine after a day outdoors. When the light fades, catching the sunset perched above a cove or on the Ma-10 road offers a perfect end to a day spent exploring these memorable walks.
