Mirador de ses Illetes (Punta de ses Illetes)
Climb to the rocky headland at the south-western tip of Magaluf and you are rewarded with a jaw-dropping 180-degree panorama that sweeps from the skyscrapers of Palma in the east to the dark pine-covered hills of Cap de Cala Figuera in the west. It is one of the most underrated viewpoints on the entire island.
Getting to the Top
A signed footpath begins at the far western end of Platja de Magaluf, climbing through fragrant Aleppo pine forest for about 15 minutes. The trail is rocky in places so closed-toe shoes are strongly recommended, even in summer.
At the summit a small stone platform offers unobstructed views and a welcome breeze that makes it significantly cooler than the beach below. Bring water — there are no facilities on the headland itself.
What You Will See
On clear mornings the island of Cabrera is visible on the southern horizon, roughly 17 km offshore. To the north you can pick out the white tower of the Castell de Bendinat peeping above the pines.
The coves directly below the headland — Cala Vinyes and the smaller rocky inlets — look impossibly blue from this height, and the contrast between the pine-green slopes and the turquoise sea makes for extraordinary photography.
