Description

Torre de Sa Torre Nova is a historic watchtower ruin perched on a clifftop north of Andratx, Mallorca.

A remnant of a bygone era

The tower is a ruined watchtower with a circular footprint and a raised entrance — a building type that once served coastal surveillance along this stretch of coastline. Today it stands in a state of ruin and is protected under Spanish heritage law.

Location & surroundings

Torre de Sa Torre Nova sits on a cliff above the Cala de Ses Ortigues, north of Andratx. You can reach it by taking the road towards Estellencs. The land surrounding the tower is actively farmed and privately owned, so the tower itself is not currently accessible. Even so, the views across the landscape from the road are quite remarkable, particularly in the evening light.

A worthwhile stop along the MA-10

Even without direct access to the tower, this point along the MA-10 makes for a rewarding stop. The panorama stretching across the rocky coastline is visible from the roadside, and the evening atmosphere lends this spot a distinctive character along Mallorca's north-west coast.
