Where can I find the best viewpoints while driving the Ma-10 through the Serra de Tramuntana?

Early mornings and late afternoons are perfect for soaking up the stunning views along the Ma-10 road winding through the Serra de Tramuntana. As you leave Palma heading northwest, the overlook just past Valldemossa offers sweeping vistas of terraced hillsides, olive groves, and the shimmering Mediterranean stretching towards the horizon. The soft light at these times accentuates the rugged beauty of the mountain villages nestled in the landscape.

Further along, near the town of Deià, several small pull-offs invite you to pause and admire the dramatic cliffs dropping into the turquoise sea below. The views here capture the iconic contrast between dense pine forests and the craggy coastline. Continuing toward Soller, the Mirador de ses Barques presents a breathtaking outlook where you can watch traditional wooden boats bobbing in the harbor framed by orange groves.

Closer to the northern stretch near Formentor, the viewpoint at Cap de Formentor is legendary for its panoramic scenes over hidden coves and the jagged peninsula tip. The sharp sea breeze and the scent of pine make this a refreshing stop. Whether you’re driving or taking the TIB bus through the Tramuntana, these vantage points highlight why this region’s natural charm is so celebrated.
