What are the best hiking routes on the island that lead to breathtaking sunset views?

Recent improvements in trail signage and access have made exploring the Serra de Tramuntana's routes even more rewarding, especially around sunset. One particularly memorable hike starts in the village of Valldemossa and winds up towards Mirador de ses Barques. As the day draws to a close, the western horizon lights up, casting warm hues over the terracotta rooftops and the Mediterranean Sea beyond. This spot is a favorite for photographers capturing the dramatic interplay of light on the rugged coastline.

Another incredible option is the ascent from Deià towards the Talaia d’Albercutx tower near Port de Sóller. From here, hikers are treated to panoramic views that stretch across the bay, the village itself, and the distant peaks of the Tramuntana. Watching the sun dip below the horizon while the sea reflects shades of orange and purple offers a perfect moment of tranquility.

For a coastal walk with striking evening vistas, the trail around Cap de Formentor is hard to beat. Walking along the Ma-2210 road towards the lighthouse rewards adventurers with sweeping views of cliffs plunging into the sea, illuminated by the soft glow of the setting sun. These routes, easily accessible via the island’s TIB bus network or the scenic Sóller railway, combine stunning natural beauty with manageable difficulty, making them ideal for ending your day on a high note.
