What are the best scenic viewpoints to visit while hiking in Mallorca's mountains?

Look carefully between the olive groves and pine forests along the Serra de Tramuntana, and you’ll find many hidden vantage points that reveal some of the island’s most breathtaking panoramas. One such spot is the Mirador de Ses Barques, near the old Ma-10 road between Puerto Sóller and Deià. From here, hikers are treated to sweeping views over the turquoise bay, terraced fields, and the dramatic cliffs that drop sharply into the sea. The changing light throughout the day paints a constantly shifting landscape, perfect for photography or a peaceful pause.

Further north, the viewpoint at Cap de Formentor is legendary. Accessible via a winding drive or a longer hike, it offers a spectacular outlook where the Mediterranean spreads endlessly beneath rugged limestone cliffs. The fresh sea breeze and the sound of waves crashing below add to the sense of awe. For a quieter experience, the Puig de Maria above Pollença provides a peaceful retreat with panoramic views over the town, the surrounding valleys and the distant coastline. Many of the island’s hiking trails along the Ma-13 and Ma-19 roads pass near such points, offering opportunities to rest and soak up Mallorca’s unique combination of mountain majesty and coastal charm.
