Where can I go paragliding to enjoy spectacular aerial views on the island?

Launching from the rugged cliffs near Cap de Formentor, paragliding here treats you to some of the most spectacular views along the island’s northern coastline. As you take off, the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean stretch out beneath you, framed by jagged cliffs and pine-covered hills that descend sharply to the sea. On clear days, the panoramic vista captures the whole Serra de Tramuntana range, a UNESCO World Heritage site whose dramatic peaks contrast vividly with the peaceful coves dotted below.

Another favored spot is near Soller, where the historic tram and train lines wind through orange groves and mountain valleys. Paragliding from the high trails above Soller offers a bird’s-eye view over terraced farmland and the crescent sandy beach of Port de Soller. The air here is often calm and warm, ideal for beginners and experienced flyers alike. From above, the distinctive places like Valldemossa and Deia peek through the green landscape, revealing the island’s mix of rustic charm and natural beauty.

For those wanting a more secluded flight, launching from the hills near Pollenca brings striking views of the Bay of Pollenca and the picturesque town itself. The well-marked roads such as the Ma-10 and Ma-13 grant easy access to these take-off points. Whether you glide over the iconic Es Trenc beach on the south coast or catch the last rays over Cala Mondrago, the airborne perspective adds a thrilling dimension to exploring the island’s diversity, with unforgettable views that only paragliding can provide.
