What are the best scenic viewpoints to visit on a driving route around Mallorca?

The best light for admiring Mallorca’s landscapes often comes in the early morning or late afternoon, when the sun casts golden hues across the valleys and rocky peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana. On a drive along the Ma-10 road, overlooking the rugged coastline near Sóller, you’ll find Mirador de ses Barques, a quiet spot offering sweeping views over the deep blue sea and terraced hillsides dotted with olive trees. It’s a perfect place to pause before continuing to the charming village of Deià.

Further along, the viewpoint at Cap Formentor, accessible by a winding road off the Ma-2210, reveals breathtaking panoramas of the island's northern cliffs plunging into the Mediterranean. The views here are especially dramatic at sunset, with the shimmering waters below making for phenomenal photography opportunities. Nearby, Es Colomer is another famous vantage point where the rugged coastline and turquoise coves unfold beneath you.

On the east coast, a stop at the Puig de Randa offers a different perspective—here, the inland vistas extend towards Manacor and the plains beyond, framed by fields and scattered farmhouses. If you’re travelling south near Santanyí, Mirador Es Pontàs provides a striking sight of the natural stone arch rising from the sea, visible from cliffs above Cala Llombards.

Each viewpoint not only showcases the variety of Mallorca’s natural beauty but invites a moment of quiet reflection, often away from the busier beaches and towns like Palma or Alcúdia. Packing local treats like pa amb oli or a bottle of Binissalem wine will make the stops even more memorable.
