Why Ses Eres Stands Out
Ses Eres sits on a rocky promontory above Mallorca’s northern coastline, delivering uninterrupted sightlines over the Mediterranean and the jagged peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana. Unlike crowded coastal miradors, this viewpoint rewards visitors with quiet, wide-angle perspectives of the Bay of Pollensa, the Formentor peninsula, and distant islets on clear days.
How to Reach Ses Eres
The site lies a short drive from the town of Pollença. From the MA-10 coastal road, take the signed turn toward the Camí de Ses Eres. The final stretch is a narrow, unpaved track best suited to regular cars in dry weather; park in the small gravel area near the top. Walk the last 200 meters along a gentle path to the stone viewpoint platform. No public transport reaches the spot directly, so a rental car or taxi from Pollença is the practical option.
Best Time to Visit
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–October) bring mild temperatures, fewer visitors, and the clearest air for long-distance views. Summer mornings before 10 a.m. are also workable, though midday heat and parking pressure increase. Winter offers solitude but can bring strong winds and occasional cloud cover over the mountains.
What to See and Do at the Viewpoint
Stand at the low stone wall and watch fishing boats cross the bay below. To the west, the Tramuntana ridge rises sharply; to the east the coastline curves toward Cap de Formentor. Photographers favor the golden hour when the limestone cliffs glow warm against the sea. Bring binoculars for spotting seabirds or sailboats far offshore. A short, unmarked trail continues along the ridge for ten minutes, offering slightly different angles without any serious climbing.
Practical Considerations
There are no facilities at Ses Eres, so carry water, sun protection, and a light jacket for the breeze. The terrain is uneven rock; sturdy shoes prevent slips. Combine the stop with a morning at nearby Cala Sant Vicenç beach or an afternoon wandering Pollença’s old town square. The viewpoint works well as a quiet add-on to a day exploring Mallorca’s northern coast rather than a standalone destination.
