How can I get to Formentor from Palma using public transport or taxi?

Starting from Palma, reaching the Formentor peninsula—a jewel at the northern tip of the island—can be a memorable journey. The fastest and most comfortable way is usually by taxi or a private transfer, which offers the flexibility to stop along the Ma-13 and Ma-220 roads and soak up stunning views of the Serra de Tramuntana, especially as you approach Port de Pollenca. This option is convenient if you're traveling with luggage or want to arrive relaxed.

For those keen on public transport, the TIB bus network offers seasonal routes connecting Palma to Port de Pollenca, where you can switch to a local bus or taxi heading toward the iconic Formentor lighthouse. Timetables may vary, so checking the latest schedules in advance is essential. The ride introduces you to the verdant landscapes and winding coastal roads that define this part of the island.

Whichever way you choose, try to set aside time to explore nearby coves like Cala Murta and enjoy a tapas lunch featuring local specialties such as pa amb oli or tumbet. The journey itself, especially through the Tramuntana mountains, is part of the experience—allowing you to appreciate the island’s diverse geography and traditional charm beyond the city buzz.
