1. Cap Gros Lighthouse: the most spectacular sunset

If we had to choose just one place to watch the sunset, it would be the Cap Gros Lighthouse.
Perched atop the cliffs that shield the bay of Port de Sóller, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the sea, the coastline and the mountains. As the sun sinks towards the horizon, the sky is bathed in shades of gold, orange and red, making this one of the most photographed spots in the area.
Tip: wear comfortable shoes and arrive at least 30 minutes before sunset to enjoy the best light.

2. Port de Sóller seafront promenade

You don’t always need to climb up to a viewpoint to enjoy a beautiful sunset. The Port de Sóller seafront promenade offers a completely different experience.
As the boats rest in the bay and the terraces begin to fill up, the atmosphere becomes particularly pleasant. It’s the perfect spot to have a drink, enjoy dinner by the sea or simply take a stroll whilst the sun slowly disappears behind the mountains.

During the summer months, the evening light creates a spectacular reflection on the calm waters of the harbour.

3. Ses Barques Viewpoint

Situated on the road linking Sóller with Deià, the Ses Barques Viewpoint offers one of the most sweeping views of the Sóller valley.
From here, you can see the orange groves, the village, the harbour and the Mediterranean in the distance. As the sun begins to set behind the Serra de Tramuntana, the landscape is bathed in a warm light, making this viewpoint a favourite with visitors and photographers alike.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet and a different kind of panoramic view, this is one of the best places to end the day.

4. Sa Foradada: a Mallorcan classic very close to Sóller

Although it belongs to the municipality of Deià, Sa Foradada is just a few minutes’ drive from Sóller and is well worth a visit.
Its famous pierced rock and the cliffs plunging into the sea create one of Mallorca’s most iconic scenes. As evening falls, the sun aligns with the horizon, offering one of the island’s most breathtaking natural spectacles.

It’s advisable to arrive in good time, especially during the summer months.

5. Playa d’en Repic

If you’d rather enjoy the sunset with your feet in the sand, Playa d’en Repic is an excellent choice.
The bay shelters the sea from strong waves, creating a very relaxed atmosphere where the sky and the water seem to merge into a single palette of colours.
It’s an ideal option for families or for those who want to end the day with a swim before sunset.

6. From the historic Sóller tram

Few experiences are as authentic as travelling on the century-old tram that connects Sóller with Port de Sóller.
If you choose one of the last journeys of the day, you’ll be able to enjoy a very special light as you pass through orange and olive groves with the mountains in the background.

Although the sun doesn’t always set during the journey, the late-afternoon atmosphere makes the trip an unforgettable experience.

7. A terrace overlooking the Mediterranean

Sometimes, the best sunset doesn’t require a long journey.
Sitting on a terrace overlooking the harbour, ordering a glass of Mallorcan wine or a cocktail, and letting time slip by as the light in the sky changes is one of those little pleasures that make any stay in Sóller special.

Every sunset is different and every season offers unique colours, so it’s well worth repeating the experience.
