Description

The Santuari de Sant Salvador in Felanitx is a church and former monastery perched on a hilltop, serving as both a historic landmark and a stunning viewpoint.

Church and Monastery at the Summit

High above Felanitx stands the Santuari de Sant Salvador — church and former monastery rolled into one. The architecture and interior leave a lasting impression; inside the main chapel you'll find a statue of the Virgin Mary. A light-and-music spectacle within the church is considered one of the highlights of any visit.

Panoramic Views Across the Island

The view from the Santuari is what draws most people to make the climb: coastline, countryside and open sea combine into a sweeping panorama that takes in the whole island. The atmosphere up on the hill is calm and contemplative — a truly special place, whether you're a believer or not.

Getting There and the Ascent

The road up via the Ctra. Porto Colom from Felanitx winds along a narrow, twisting series of bends — it calls for a steady pace and full attention, though many visitors find the drive itself well worth the effort. If you'd rather go on foot, the Via Crucis (Stations of the Cross) offers a rewarding walk to the top. The Santuari is also a popular destination for cyclists, who tackle the climb as a training ride or a personal challenge.

Café and Accommodation

At the summit there's a café and restaurant serving refreshments, pastries and light meals, with a terrace that makes the most of the views. There's also the option to stay overnight at the Santuari itself.
