Where can I find the best viewpoints to enjoy breathtaking scenery around Mallorca?

Winding along the Ma-10 through the Serra de Tramuntana, you’ll discover some of the island’s most spectacular viewpoints. Mirador de Ses Barques near Soller offers sweeping vistas over the terracotta rooftops, orange groves, and the tramuntana mountains, especially magical at sunset. From here, you can see the Old Port and feel the breeze coming off the Mediterranean. It’s a favourite for photographers aiming to capture the warm, soft light that bathes the landscape each evening.

Further west, the cliffs at Formentor reveal dramatic expanses of blue sea framed by pine-clad coves like Cala Figuera. The view from the lighthouse at the peninsula’s tip is among the most iconic, with rugged cliffs plunging into crystal clear waters. Reaching it involves a scenic drive along the Ma-2210, itself part of the experience with hairpin bends and panoramic outlooks.

Closer to Palma, the winding Ma-13 road alongside Puig de Sant Salvador offers quieter spots where the island’s plains meet mountain slopes. For a gentler excursion, the Soller railway climbs through orange groves and almond trees, with occasional viewpoints over the valley and Torrent de Pareis gorge. These places, whether easily accessible or a little off the beaten track, illustrate Mallorca’s diversity from serene villages to wild coastal panoramas.
