Where can I find the best viewpoints for panoramic photos around Mallorca?

If you’re eager to capture the island’s dramatic landscapes, some of the most iconic viewpoints aren’t far from the main towns. Near Soller, for example, the Mirador Es Colomer on the Ma-10 road provides sweeping views of the Tramuntana coast and the rugged cliffs plunging into the Mediterranean. It’s accessible by car or a scenic hike, making it a favourite spot for photographers hoping to catch the early morning or late afternoon light.

Another exceptional vantage is the Formentor peninsula, where the lighthouse viewpoint offers an unforgettable panorama over golden beaches and turquoise waters. Driving the Ma-2210 around this remote tip reveals several smaller viewpoints looking out over hidden coves and pine forests. For something more tucked away, the road up to Puig de Maria near Pollenca rewards visitors with views across the Bay of Alcudia and the northern coast.

If you’re staying near Palma, the Bellver Castle’s elevated terrace allows you to photograph the city and its bay, framed by surrounding hills. For hiking enthusiasts, the paths around Valldemossa and Deià climb through olive groves and terraced hillsides, opening up occasional glimpses of the sea interspersed with terracotta rooftops. To avoid crowds, aim to visit viewpoints early in the morning or close to sunset, when the soft Mediterranean light enriches the rugged landscape beautifully.
