Cape Salinas
Cape Salinas, 07650, Balearic Islands, Spain
Cape Salinas (Cap de ses Salines) is Mallorca’s rugged southern headland — a protected, largely undeveloped stretch of coastline centred on a working lighthouse with panoramic views across the Mediterranean to the Cabrera archipelago. The area combines rocky coves, cliffs and nearby salt pans, making it a favourite for coastal walks, birdwatching and dramatic sunsets.
What Makes It Special
The striking combination of the solitary lighthouse perched on wild cliffs and clear sightlines to the Cabrera islands and neighbouring salinas gives visitors a sense of raw, unspoilt coastline that’s hard to find elsewhere on the island.
Insider Tips
Visit at sunrise or just before sunset for the best light and fewer people; there are no facilities on the headland so bring water, sun protection and sturdy footwear — paths are rocky and accessibility is limited, so plan accordingly from nearby Colònia de Sant Jordi.
