Are there any coastal hiking routes in Mallorca that offer stunning sea views?

For walkers eager to follow the shoreline, the stretch between Cala Tuent and Sa Calobra in the Serra de Tramuntana offers some of the island’s most dramatic coastal hiking. The trail winds along rugged cliffs with panoramic vistas across the Mediterranean, where pine trees cling to steep rocky slopes and hidden coves occasionally appear below. Approaching Sa Calobra, you’ll find the striking Torrent de Pareis gorge, a natural masterpiece that meets the sea in a narrow stony beach. This route is popular but rewards those prepared for a good trek with unforgettable scenery.

Along the east coast, the path from Cala Mondrago through the natural park meanders between pristine bays and quiet pine forests that reach the water’s edge. The gentle waves and crystalline waters here invite detours to secluded beaches, such as Cala S’Amarador. For those based near Palma, a shorter but equally scenic option runs along the Ma-10 towards Valldemossa and Deia, where walkers can glimpse terraced farmland, olive groves, and the distant coastline, all framed by Tramuntana’s limestone peaks.

Public transport using the TIB buses can get you close to trailheads if you prefer to avoid renting a car; the Soller railway also provides a scenic start to exploring the northwest coast. Whether you’re after challenging cliffside paths or gentler coastal walks, the island’s coastline offers diverse landscapes accompanied by sea breezes and the taste of coastal vegetation in the air. Don’t forget to savour local treats like pa amb oli or a glass of Binissalem wine afterwards to complete your day outdoors.
