Aussichtspunkt Es Colomer
Description
The Es Colomer viewpoint on the Formentor Peninsula is one of the most striking lookout platforms in the north of Mallorca, offering panoramic views across dramatic cliffs, the sea, and the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range.
Panorama of Cliffs and Sea
From Mirador Es Colomer, your gaze sweeps across rugged cliffs, the deep-blue Mediterranean, and the mountain landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana. Well-kept paths and platforms allow you to take in the views from several angles — across the open sea as well as along the jagged coastline. Wild goats are a regular sight on the rocks and hillside. Admission is free.
Getting There and Location
The viewpoint is located in the municipality of Pollença (07460) on the Formentor Peninsula. The approach road winds through hairpin bends and is something of a scenic experience in its own right. There is a car park on site, though it is small and fills up quickly during busy periods. In summer, access by private car along this stretch is restricted; a shuttle bus operates during this time and stops at the Mirador. If you travel by bus, please note that payment is by card only.
Photography and Light
Sunrise and sunset are particularly rewarding times to visit — the golden light over the water makes this viewpoint a favourite subject for photographers. The platforms offer perspectives from multiple angles, giving you plenty of scope for varied shots.
Practical Information
A short flight of steps leads to the end of the viewing path, which means the viewpoint is not wheelchair accessible. The site is well suited to families with children. There have been occasional reports of pickpocketing, so it is worth keeping a close eye on your personal belongings.
