On the south coast of Mallorca, the Cap Blanc lighthouse stands over impressive limestone cliffs that descend sharply towards the sea. It is one of the least frequented viewpoints in this part of the island, away from the main tourist circuits.
The landscape, dominated by Mediterranean scrub and sparse vegetation, presents a very different image to that of the Serra de Tramuntana. The combination of open sea, cliffs and clear horizons makes this location one of the most unique points on the Mallorcan coast.
The height of the cliffs and the feeling of isolation are two of the most characteristic features of this viewpoint. Despite being relatively close to urban and tourist areas, the environment retains a quiet and largely unaltered atmosphere.
Location: Llucmajor, south of Mallorca.

In the vicinity of Sant Elm, at the western end of Mallorca, the Sa Trapa Viewpoint offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views of the Mallorcan coast. Access is via a hiking route that crosses an environment of great landscape value before reaching this privileged location, with open views of sa Dragonera and the coastal cliffs.
Being far from the main roads and without direct vehicle access, it maintains a quieter atmosphere than other viewpoints on the island and retains much of its natural character.
The combination of nature, sea and mountainous landscape makes Sa Trapa one of the most special viewpoints in Mallorca. The views over sa Dragonera and the sense of isolation conveyed by the surroundings reinforce the appeal of this corner of the Serra de Tramuntana.
Location: Andratx, west of Mallorca.

The Cala Figuera Viewpoint provides a different perspective to that of other viewpoints in Mallorca. Located above one of the most picturesque fishing ports on the island, it allows you to contemplate a landscape where traditional activity coexists with a coastal environment of great natural attraction.
From different high points of the town, you get excellent views of the port, the piers and the characteristic fishermen's houses that overlook the cove. At the end of the day, the sunset light brings a special charm to this corner of the Mallorcan coast.
The combination of maritime heritage, coastal landscape and local atmosphere makes Cala Figuera one of the most unique locations in the south of Mallorca. Its traditional character and the beauty of the port give it a different personality from other viewpoints on the island.
Location: Santanyí, south of Mallorca.
It is difficult to highlight a single viewpoint above the rest, as each one offers a different perspective of the Mallorcan landscape. However, the Sa Foradada Viewpoint stands out for bringing together some of the most representative landscapes of the island in one place. It combines nature, history and one of the most recognisable images of Mallorca. Its easy access and privileged location in the Serra de Tramuntana make it one of the most appreciated locations for contemplating the sunset.
