Here’s your complete guide to the best sunset spots on the island:
1. Sa Foradada – The Most Iconic Sunset Spot
Sa Foradada, near Deià, is arguably Mallorca’s most famous sunset viewpoint. The name means “The Holed Rock,” referring to the natural hole in the rock formation that perfectly frames the setting sun.
Why visit? The vibrant colors reflected on the Mediterranean and the peaceful atmosphere make it an unforgettable experience. Arrive early to secure a good spot, especially in summer.
2. Es Trenc Beach – Sunset Over Endless Sands
This long, unspoiled beach on the south coast is famous for its Caribbean-like turquoise waters and golden sand. As the day ends, the beach transforms into a peaceful haven where you can watch the sun set over the calm horizon.
Tip: Bring a picnic and enjoy the view from the sand dunes, or stop at one of the beach bars for a chilled drink.
3. Cap de Formentor – Cliffside Drama and Epic Views
The northernmost point of Mallorca offers jaw-dropping cliffs, winding mountain roads, and unmatched panoramic views. From the Cap de Formentor viewpoint (Mirador Es Colomer), you can watch the sun drop behind the dramatic headlands and into the sea.
This is an absolute must for photographers and adventurers. Access is restricted by bus during high season (June–September), so plan ahead. To discover how to acces click here.
4. Bellver Castle – Palma from Above at Golden Hour
This 14th-century circular castle perched above Palma provides stunning 360º views over the bay, city skyline, and surrounding mountains.
As the sun sets, the light bathes the historic stone walls in gold, making it perfect for a serene urban sunset. The castle closes at 8 p.m., so visit before and stay nearby to catch the final colors from the park.
5. Sky Bar at Hotel Hostal Cuba (Palma) – Rooftop Vibes
If you’re in Palma and prefer a stylish sunset with a cocktail in hand, this rooftop bar offers panoramic views over the harbor, cathedral, and city skyline. It’s trendy, often lively, and ideal for a more social, modern sunset experience. Arrive early for the best table.
6. Mirador de Ses Ànimes (Banyalbufar)
This ancient watchtower dating back to the 16th century offers a secluded and romantic sunset spot on the island’s rugged west coast. From here, you’ll witness the sun melting into the sea, framed by mountains and cliffs. Bring walking shoes and a camera — it’s one of the most atmospheric spots in Mallorca.
7. Cala Tuent – Hidden Cove for a Quiet Sunset
Far less crowded than nearby Sa Calobra, Cala Tuent is a peaceful pebble cove surrounded by pine trees and mountain peaks. It’s the perfect place for a quiet, nature-focused sunset. If you’re lucky, you might have the entire beach to yourself as the sky turns shades of lavender and orange.
