Where can I find hiking trails with spectacular coastal views on the island?

Some of the best coastal hikes wind through the Serra de Tramuntana, the dramatic mountain range that hugs Mallorca’s northwest coast. Trails around Formentor peninsula offer breathtaking views across turquoise waters and craggy cliffs. One favorite route starts near Port de Pollença and follows the coastline towards Cap de Formentor lighthouse, where panoramic vistas reward the effort. Along the way, you’ll pass hidden coves and pine-clad cliffs, a truly special combination of mountain and sea scenery.

Further south, the coastal path between Cala Figuera and Cala Mondrago on the east coast blends Mediterranean forest with crystal-clear coves and small sandy beaches. For a quieter, gentler walk, the shore around Cala Llombards provides stunning sea views framed by fragrant pine trees. The rugged Ma-10 road connects many access points to these trails, although some parts are best explored on foot or by bicycle.

If you prefer something more historic, the old mule track from Banyalbufar to Valldemossa offers a mix of coastal panoramas and terraced vineyards. The island’s public TIB buses reach many trailheads, but a rental car or the Soller train can also bring you to the start of memorable hikes. Whether you seek a challenging trek or a leisurely stroll, the combination of sea, mountains, and charming villages creates outstanding opportunities for coastal hiking and photography.
