The viewpoint at Cap de Formentor is a natural landmark in the north of Mallorca, offering sweeping panoramic views across sheer cliffs and the deep-blue sea.

Views & Natural Experience

Sheer cliffs, rugged rock formations and the open sea come together here in a breathtaking panorama. Sunrises and sunsets are among the most memorable experiences this viewpoint has to offer. Around the viewpoint there are walking trails, as well as more extensive routes in the surrounding area. Cyclists prize the road to Cap de Formentor as both a destination and a landmark stage point.

Getting Here

The road to Cap de Formentor is winding and narrow, and is something of a scenic experience in itself — with stunning views throughout the mountain drive. During peak season, the final stretch is closed to private cars; visitors travel the last section by shuttle bus, which runs regularly. If you're planning to drive, it's worth checking the latest traffic and access restrictions beforehand, as the road can occasionally be closed in its entirety. Cyclists and moped riders will find the route well suited to two wheels.

Parking

There are very few parking spaces at the viewpoint itself, and demand regularly far outstrips supply. If you're arriving by car, an early start gives you the best chance of finding a spot — waits of over an hour are not uncommon. A mix of free and paid parking is available, along with free roadside parking nearby.

Practical Tips

A strong wind is common at the top of the viewpoint, so it's worth bringing a layer. Visiting during the off-season means noticeably smaller crowds. The onward journey to the lighthouse at the very tip of the cape is a separate destination that deserves its own planning.
