Where can I watch beautiful sunsets over rocky cliffs by the sea in Mallorca?

Sunset spots featuring dramatic cliffs along the coastline tend to be quieter and less crowded later in the day, ideal if you’re planning around peaceful evening views. The Formentor Peninsula on the island’s north coast is one of the finest areas to catch a fiery sunset over jagged rocky cliffs dropping sharply into the Mediterranean. Arriving a little before dusk, you can find a vantage point near Cap de Formentor lighthouse where the sky often turns streaks of orange and purple behind the silhouette of the craggy coastline.

Further west, the picturesque village of Deià offers a poetic scene as the sun sinks behind terraced cliffs and olive groves, casting golden light on the coves below. For a more rugged beach sunset, Cala Llombards in the southeast feels like a hidden treasure, with steep rocks framing a quiet bay where the sun melts into the water beyond jagged rocks. It can be reached via a scenic drive along the Ma-19.

Along the Tramuntana mountains, trails between towns like Valldemossa and Sóller lead to secluded spots with fantastic cliff views, perfect for those who enjoy a short hike. The combination of the warm Mediterranean breeze, gentle waves, and local food stalls selling ensaimadas nearby often wraps up the evening wonderfully. Whether you come by car, local bus, or the historic Sóller train, sunset on Mallorca’s cliffs is a moment of calm and colour worth savouring.
