Tripadvisdor Review – April 2019

Fabulous short break

This is our third stay at la Pergola and was a lovely short break before the Easter rush. We upgraded to half board before we travelled and feel we got value for money. The hotel is very clean and the staff very friendly…

Tripadvisdor Review – April 2019

Wonderful

We stayed here whilst walking the GR221 for a little bit of luxury and that is exactly what we got. Watching the sunset made it extra special.

The Best Places to Watch the Sunset in Mallorca

The Best Places to Watch the Sunset in Mallorca

According to Greek mythology, Helios was the god of the sun who traversed the skies riding a resplendent chariot made of gold, silver, and jewels. It was pulled by four powerful horses that spewed fire from their mouths. The god's journey began in the west and ended in the east, and nothing could hide from his eyes, for everything was heard and seen.

The legend also tells of how the god's son stole the chariot one dawn and was unable to control the horses, causing great fires on Earth. Helios managed to stop it, but it was already too late, and the son had perished. That's why the Earth plunged into darkness for days until the sun god decided to rise again and fulfill his duties.

The sun, its rising and setting, has always fueled the imagination of humans, to the point of awaiting it in the morning and accompanying it at sunset. Not many celebrate the sunrise fully awake, but all of us, at some point, have enjoyed watching it sink into the sea or behind the mountains. Mallorca is one of the best stages to enjoy the daily farewell of the sun god.

Sunset from Sant Elm

One of the best sunsets in Mallorca can be observed from Sant Elm. Sant Elm is a small fishing port where balconies overlooking the sea were built not only to lose yourself in ocean views but to experience a sunset.

The most peculiar aspect of this coastal area is that the sun disappears behind the islet of Dragonera, enhancing its appearance as a colossal dragon asleep on the sea.

La Talaia d’Albercutx, an Unparalleled Setting

This is a lesser known but highly recommended place. La Talaia is a small tower in the middle of the Formentor Peninsula, where the famous lighthouse visited by hundreds of people every year stands.

From the top of the tower, the sunset is magnificent, and it's likely to be very solitary since few people make the journey here to observe it.

In summer, the road leading to the lighthouse, and therefore La Talaia, is closed to motor traffic, so be sure to inquire about alternatives to get there.

The Lighthouse of Ses Salines, in the South of the Island

Ses Salines is at the southernmost point of the island, home to Colonia de Sant Jordi and the famous Es Trenc beach, not far from Cap de Ses Salines.

The landscape in this area, with flat terrain, dunes, and still-functioning salt pans, offers a spectacular sunset. On clear evenings, you can also see the silhouette of the island of Ibiza in the distance.

The Magic of Puerto de Sóller

Puerto de Sóller is a classic, and the sunset from here is one of the most captivating in Mallorca.

The sandy beach, albeit somewhat narrow in some sections, stretches across the entire bay of the port, which majestically opens in any season. Waiting for the sun to descend with your feet immersed in the water, weather permitting, is a delightful experience.

Sa Foradada, the Most Famous

It's the most renowned sunset spot in Mallorca. The rock that lends its name to the viewpoint is illuminated at sunset, and it's not uncommon to hear applauses and whistles of admiration from onlookers.

According to another legend, the characteristic hole in Sa Foradada was caused by a pirate cannonball... anything could be possible.
