What are the best viewpoints around Selva to capture stunning photos of Mallorca’s landscapes?

The Serra de Tramuntana, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, has long drawn artists and travellers mesmerized by its dramatic mountain scenery. Near Selva, several viewpoints offer striking perspectives over this rugged range and the olive groves that carpet the hillsides. One of the most rewarding is at the Mirador de ses Barques, where you can shoot sweeping vistas framing the valley below, scattered with traditional fincas and distant silhouettes of the Mediterranean coastline.

A short drive along the Ma-10 reveals the Mirador de Sa Foradada near Deia, where a natural rock arch juts into the sea. Photographers flock here to capture the interplay of light and shadow as the sun sets beyond the cove’s turquoise waters. Elsewhere, the Soller railway climbs steadily into the hills, offering unparalleled shots from its vintage carriages, particularly when winding past almond and orange trees in bloom during spring.

For wider panoramas, the Ma-13 route between Pollenca and Lluc is rich with pull-offs leading to overlooks where the north coast stretches from Cala San Vicente to the iconic cape of Formentor. Early morning mists or the warm glow during late afternoon add a luminous quality to images of terraced vineyards and stone villages like Alcudia. These vantage points aren’t just about the views; they invite a quiet moment to absorb the island’s diverse beauty across land and sea.
