When the sun goes down on Mallorca the sky takes on a very special hue, and not even the islanders can tire of the beauty displayed by the heavens as dusk approaches,with a combination of yellowy, reddish, pink and sometimes intense blue tones.
And if you choose the ideal place with a distant horizon, be prepared for a jaw-dropping experience. Whether alone or in the company of others, you’ll feel the inner peace and quiet that only nature can bestow.
Let us share with you some of the best places for viewing the sunset:
Sa Foradada lookout point
This is the most famous and best-known vantage point anywhere on the island for viewing the sunset. Sa Foradada is located in the Sierra de Tramuntana, which has been designated as a World Heritage Site. This lookout point gets its name from the hole in an immense rocky promontory jutting out into the sea. This unique setting features a beach bar where you can enjoy a refreshing drink while watching the sun go down, although owing to the current situation you can only go to the restaurant, bar or the concerts and events in Son Marroig if you’ve booked in advance.
Formentor lighthouse
This spot is spectacular at any time of day, but it truly comes into its own when the sun goes down, offering some unique moments. You probably won’t be alone, because it’s an extremely popular place with locals and tourists alike; this will not prevent you from savouring its incredible views however. If you’re thinking of proposing to your sweetheart and you want to be sure of a “yes”, this is a good place to get down on one knee.
Ses Salines lighthouse
Yes, we’ve chosen another lighthouse because of course they all have wonderful locations next to the sea. Not all of them are easy to reach, put the Ses Salines lighthouse offers nearby parking and enables you to enjoy the sunset accompanied by a swim and a drink. On this occasion however it will have to be a self-service drink, because it’s an undeveloped area with no beach bars in the vicinity.
Torre d’Aubarca
This fortified tower made of stone, classified as a Site of Cultural Interest, is located on a clifftop. Its strategic location relies on the fact that its former purpose was to act as a lookout tower, a place from which coastal shipping could be monitored. This edifice is the only trace of human activity that you will see in the area; nature surrounds it on all sides, ensuring zero noise pollution and the splendour of Mediterranean vegetation.
Follow our suggestions and go back with your suitcase laden with unforgettable moments. The fact is that holidays are for enjoying to the full and garnering experiences that remind us how wonderful it is to be alive!
