The Serra de Tramuntana, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Mediterranean. Between dramatic cliffs, pine forests and charming seaside villages, the north coast of Mallorca offers unique hidden gems where time seems to stand still.
One of the most spectacular places in this area is Sa Foradada, one of the most iconic and photographed viewpoints in Mallorca. Famous for its striking pierced rock formation, panoramic Mediterranean views and unforgettable sunsets, Sa Foradada has become a must-visit destination for travellers looking to discover the authentic beauty of the island.
From Aimia Hotel, we invite you to discover this stunning spot located between Deià and Valldemossa, the perfect place to enjoy a different kind of afternoon surrounded by Mediterranean nature. Whether driving along the scenic coastal road from Port de Sóller or admiring the coastline from the sea, visiting Sa Foradada at sunset is truly a magical experience.
How to Get to Sa Foradada from Port de Sóller
Sa Foradada is located on Mallorca’s northwest coast, between Deià and Valldemossa. The main access is via the MA-10 road, considered one of the most scenic drives in Mallorca and throughout the Serra de Tramuntana.
From Puerto de Sóller, the journey takes approximately 25 to 30 minutes and passes through some of the island’s most beautiful landscapes, including mountains, cliffs, olive groves and charming Mediterranean villages.
Visiting Sa Foradada by Car
For guests travelling by car, we recommend leaving early, especially during summer and around sunset time, as the area can become quite busy.
There is a small parking area next to the Sa Foradada viewpoint and the famous seaside bar overlooking the Mediterranean. Although parking spaces are limited, driving is one of the best ways to explore the different viewpoints along the Tramuntana coastline, stop in Deià or enjoy dinner in Valldemossa after sunset.
The drive between the Sóller Valley and Sa Foradada also offers some of the best panoramic viewpoints in Mallorca, ideal for stopping and enjoying the scenery.
Reaching Sa Foradada by Public Transport
It is also possible to reach Sa Foradada using the TIB bus line 203, which connects Port de Sóller with Deià and Valldemossa. This is a comfortable and sustainable option for visitors who prefer to enjoy the landscape without driving.
The bus stop is located just a few metres from Aimia Hotel, and our reception team will be delighted to provide information about schedules and connections depending on the season.
Hiking to Sa Foradada: One of the Best Walks in Mallorca
For hiking lovers, one of the most memorable experiences is walking down to Sa Foradada and enjoying sunset by the sea.
The hiking route starts near the entrance parking area of Son Marroig, located on the MA-10 road between Deià and Valldemossa. From there, a well-marked trail of approximately seven kilometres and low difficulty descends through ancient olive terraces and Mediterranean vegetation typical of the Tramuntana mountains.
At the end of the walk, visitors reach a small rocky area by the Mediterranean Sea, perfect for swimming, snorkelling or simply relaxing before sunset. Watching the golden evening light illuminate the silhouette of Sa Foradada makes this excursion truly unforgettable.
For those wishing to add something extra to the experience, returning to Port de Sóller by boat after sunset is a fantastic option. Several private excursion companies operate along this part of the coast, allowing visitors to admire the Serra de Tramuntana from the sea.
Watching the Sunset at Sa Foradada
If there is one perfect moment to visit Sa Foradada, it is definitely sunset.
The viewpoint is located next to Son Marroig, the historic estate once owned by Archduke Luis Salvador de Austria, one of Mallorca’s greatest admirers and an important figure in promoting the island’s beauty during the 19th century.
Many visitors take the opportunity to stroll through the gardens and viewpoints of Son Marroig before heading to Sa Foradada, where some of the most spectacular views of the Mediterranean and the Tramuntana cliffs await.
As the sun begins to set, the atmosphere becomes especially peaceful. Sitting by the viewpoint, listening to the sea and watching the sun slowly disappear over the horizon is one of those unforgettable Mallorca moments.
There is also a small bar at the viewpoint where visitors can enjoy a drink or a snack with music in the background while watching the sunset.
What to Do After Visiting Sa Foradada
After sunset, one of the best ways to complete the experience is by continuing the evening in Deià, considered one of the most charming villages in Mallorca and the Serra de Tramuntana.
Its stone streets, relaxed atmosphere and excellent restaurants make Deià the perfect place for a peaceful evening stroll and to enjoy the authentic Mediterranean spirit of Mallorca’s north coast.
Without a doubt, visiting Sa Foradada at sunset is an experience we highly recommend from Aimia Hotel.
