Where can I find the best viewpoints to see Mallorca's coastline?

The picturesque village of Formentor on the northern tip of the island is an ideal starting point for spectacular coastal views. From the lighthouse there, you can gaze out over the turquoise waters of the Bay of Pollenca and the rugged cliffs that drop sharply into the sea. This vantage spot often captures the soft glow of the Mediterranean at sunrise or sunset, creating a memorable panorama.

Another stunning viewpoint lies along the serpentines of the Ma-10 road through the Serra de Tramuntana. Near towns like Deià and Sóller, winding paths lead up to natural terraces where rugged peaks meet swathes of deep blue coastline. The views here are dramatic, especially when looking down towards secluded coves like Cala Llombards or the long sandy stretch of Es Trenc.

For a more accessible spot, the Ma-13 road hugging the eastern coast offers several pull-offs, notably near the ancient town of Capdepera. Here, the contrast between terracotta rooftops, fragrant pine forests, and endless sea makes for perfect photography. Taking the TIB buses also allows visitors to reach quieter parts of the coast to discover tranquil bays and beaches hard to access by car. Local wines from Binissalem or a glass of Hierbas make any stop along these scenic routes even more enjoyable.
