Description
Torre de s'Estalella is a historic coastal watchtower and listed monument in the municipality of Llucmajor, which has become a popular starting point and destination for coastal walks.
A watchtower from the 16th century
Torre de s'Estalella was built in 1577 and restored by Llucmajor Town Council in 1984. The tower itself cannot be entered from the inside — there is simply no doorway. What makes it well worth the visit regardless is the cave sitting directly in front of it, known as the smugglers' or pirates' cave, along with its position right on the clifftops overlooking the open sea.
Clear water, rock formations and natural quiet
The area surrounding the tower is striking, with crystal-clear water, dramatic rock formations and an unspoilt stretch of coastline. Well away from mass tourism, it feels genuinely peaceful and largely untouched. The sunsets from this section of coast are particularly special.
Coastal walking along the rocky shoreline
A favourite route sets off from S'Estanyol — just behind the harbour — and follows the coast to the tower, passing a lighthouse and winding through pine woodland and scrubland with the sea always in view. The path is enjoyable and manageable, though sturdy footwear is recommended given the occasionally sharp rocks and slippery patches underfoot. The tower also sits along the coastal route between S'Estanyol, Vallgornera and Cala Pi. Parts of the path cross private land, so please be respectful of that.
Location & getting there
The tower sits within the municipality of Llucmajor (07639). S'Estanyol makes a handy base, with parking available there. The area can also be reached by bus from Sa Rapita.
