Are there any scenic hiking routes near Soller that provide great spots to watch the sunset?

In the foothills surrounding Sóller, a network of trails carves through the rugged Serra de Tramuntana offering some of the finest sunset vantage points on the island. A favored path climbs gently towards the Deià ridge, where hikers are rewarded with sweeping views over the Mediterranean and the village rooftops bathed in warm evening light. The Last rays illuminate the terraced orange groves and the distant silhouette of the Formentor Peninsula, making it a memorable closing to the day.

For a quieter experience, the route up to Puig de Maria above Pollença is ideal. It’s an accessible climb with a monastery at the summit providing a peaceful setting to watch the sun lower behind the pine-clad hills. On clear days, you can see across the bay and the shimmering coastlines fading into twilight.

The Ma-10 road, winding through the Tramuntana, itself reveals numerous pull-offs where short walks lead to cliffs or coves like Cala Tuent, perfect for watching the sunset after a day soaking in nature. It’s worth timing your hike with the island’s shift to longer evenings, especially in late spring or early autumn, when the temperate air and quieter trails combine for a tranquil outing. Don't forget to bring a light jacket as the mountain breeze cools after sundown.
