Mallorca is the largest island of the Balearic archipelago, a jewel of the Mediterranean full of cities, beaches, coves and nature that offers dream sunsets. Discover in this article the best places to watch the sunsets in Mallorca and enjoy the magic of that moment at the end of the day.
The five best sunsets in Mallorca
Sa Foradada viewpoint
The viewpoint of Sa Foradada is located in the Tramuntana mountain range, in the Mallorcan municipality of Deià, an environment where the mountains meet the sea through rocky cliffs resulting in an idyllic place to watch the sunset.
Due to its fame, it is a very crowded place, so we advise you to go well in advance to find parking.
The environment has a terrace bar from which you can also see the sunset, but if you really want to enjoy its magic and the best views, it is best to walk a simple path that brings you closer to the coast.
Lighthouse of Formentor
At the edge of the cliff and over 300 meters above sea level you will find the lighthouse of Formentor, where its surroundings will leave you speechless.
The road that takes you to the lighthouse and runs along the peninsula of Formentor is full of curves until, upon reaching the highest point, you will find the imposing lighthouse.
Watching the sunset at the Formentor lighthouse is an unforgettable spectacle. From the top of the lighthouse, you can see how the sun slowly sinks into the horizon, painting the sky with golden, pink and orange tones. The sea becomes calmer and the landscape is transformed into a mixture of colors and shadows. It is a perfect moment to enjoy the tranquility and natural beauty of the island.
Es Trenc Beach
The beach of Es Trenc is located to the south and is one of the most famous beaches of the island, a natural virgin spot that stretches for more than 3 km of white sand and crystal clear water.
The sunset at Es Trenc beach is a spectacular experience. As the sun goes down the environment is filled with colors creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The view of the sunset over the sea is breathtaking and it is a perfect moment to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the island.
Having a rental car in Mallorca makes access to the beach even easier. The parking lot is large, has a capacity of 300 vehicles and is payable. You can also access the beach by bus, the nearest stop is 200 meters away. Undoubtedly, an essential visit if you are in Mallorca.
Sant Elm
To the west of the island, in a quieter area, we find Sant Elm, a charming Mallorcan village. From here we can contemplate the sunset overlooking the islet of Sa Dragonera where you will see the sun set behind it.
To get there you must leave your car parked in a parking lot at the entrance of the village. From there, you will find a path that runs along the coast and reaches Punta Blanca where you just have to wait and enjoy the sunset.
Don’t forget to bring your camera or your phone to capture the moment and keep an unforgettable memory of this beautiful sunset in Sant Elm.
Cap Blanc Lighthouse
The Cap Blanc lighthouse is one of the oldest lighthouses on the island and offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean from where you can see one of the best sunsets on the island.
If you have a rental car, you can easily access the lighthouse from the Ma-19 highway towards Llucmajor and then follow the signs to Cap Blanc. The lighthouse is located at the end of a dirt road.
It is a magical place to watch the sunset, because when the light completely disappears, Cabo Blanco is transformed into a very pleasant place where people dine outdoors during the summer and make music on full moon nights. In addition, during the festival of the tears of San Lorenzo, tourists and locals gather here to watch the star shower.
