Best Places to Watch the Solar Eclipse in Pollensa

While Villa Esquina provides a stunning retreat in Pollensa, the surrounding mountains may limit visibility during the eclipse. For the best experience, we recommend visiting one of these prime locations:

1. Puig de Maria

An iconic hilltop just outside Pollensa, Puig de Maria stands 330 metres tall and provides a panoramic view of the entire bay and beyond. The short hike (45–60 minutes) rewards you with an uninterrupted view of the western horizon, making it ideal for eclipse viewing.

2. Cala Sant Vicenç

This beautiful coastal spot offers west-facing views over the sea, ensuring a perfect line of sight as the sun dips towards the horizon. Its open skies and reflective waters will enhance the dramatic effects of the eclipse.

3. Formentor Peninsula

Famous for its stunning cliffs and sweeping views, Formentor Peninsula provides a dramatic vantage point for sunset. Head to the lighthouse for the best perspective.

4. Puig de Sant Martí

Located just outside Alcudia, this hill is a local favourite for panoramic views. With little to obstruct your view, it’s a fantastic choice for witnessing the eclipse.


Make the Most of Your Eclipse Experience

We recommend arriving at your chosen location early to secure a good spot. Bring blankets, chairs, and eclipse glasses for safe viewing. Pack some snacks and make an evening of it as the skies transform in a once-in-a-lifetime display.
