What are the best coastal walks on the island with stunning sea views?

For striking coastal walks, the stretch along the Serra de Tramuntana offers some of the most breathtaking views you can find. The path from Deia to Cala Deia is a favorite among walkers, threading through rugged cliffs that drop into the turquoise waters below. Toward the northwest, the trail near Formentor peninsula combines dramatic shoreline vistas with fragrant pine woods, culminating in sweeping views over the bay. These routes reveal intimate coves and hidden beaches, perfect for pausing to soak in the quiet beauty.

On the southeast coast, you can explore paths around Cala Mondrago in the Mondrago Natural Park, where Mediterranean scrub meets crystal-clear coves. This gentler walk is rich with local flora and offers glimpses of traditional fishing boats bobbing gently in the bays. Closer to the capital, the Ma-10 road traces the coast between Soller and Valldemossa, providing multiple points to step onto trails that hug the cliffs overlooking the shimmering sea. Taking the historic Soller railway to these starting points makes for an idyllic day, connecting you easily to both coastal walks and charming mountain villages.

These coastal routes reward hikers with unforgettable panoramas of the island’s shoreline, where limestone cliffs frame pristine beaches like Cala Llombards and Es Trenc. Along the way, you might spot fishermen tending their nets or savor the scent of rosemary and thyme carried on the salty breeze. Stopping in a local village for pa amb oli or a glass of crisp Binissalem wine after a walk adds a perfect touch of Mallorca’s culture and flavours to the day.
