Top places to take a selfie in Mallorca

Find out which are the places to take a selfie in Mallorca! Some say that if you don’t post a photo on social networks when you do something, it’s as if you haven’t done it. This is where selfies come from, these famous self-portraits that show the world where you stand, especially when the surroundings are good and you’re wearing the right look for the occasion.
Holidays are one of the times when we take the most photos of ourselves, so if you’re planning a getaway to the biggest Balearic island, we’re going to tell you which are the most privileged places in Mallorca to take a selfie and be the envy of the whole world on Instagram.

Bellver Castle

Bellver Castle is one of the best places to take a selfie in Mallorca. It is a Gothic-style fortification dating back to the 14th century and located in the west of the island. The castle is surrounded by forest and stands 112 metres above sea level (a very high elevation in Mallorca and from which you can have spectacular views). 

This could be one of the best photos of your holiday, so don’t miss this magical spot.

Formentor lighthouse

The Formentor lighthouse is one of the must-see places on the island and one of the places where you can see the best sunsets in Mallorca. There are some great viewpoints from which you can take great selfies, with amazing cliffs as a backdrop for your photo.

The amazing natural landscape next to the sea is what will allow you to take one of the best photos of the island. If you are one of the more daring ones, we recommend that you climb the Talaia d’Albercutx, a tower from which you will have a better perspective. But be careful when taking selfies, because the terrain is dangerous!

Malgrats Islands

The Malgrats Islands are not only a great place for selfies, but have become one of the best places to hold a photoshoot in Mallorca. The natural reserve of the Malgrats Islands is a group of two islets located in front of the bay of Santa Ponsa. In this area you can enjoy a beautiful sunset at the Es Malgrats viewpoint or the canyon viewpoint.

We recommend that you find a rock from where you can see the islands in the background and make sure that there are no tourists in the way. Then, turn around and stand with your back to this natural wonder to take the best selfie of your holiday.

Torrent de Pareis

Torrent de Pareis is another of the best places to take a selfie in Mallorca. The road to Sa Calobra is one of the most beautiful on the island, but the real beauty can be seen when you reach the Torrent de Pareis. It is a magical place that merges the beach with the mouth of a torrent and a large cave. Look for the perfect spot to take your selfie, but don’t forget to enjoy the scenery first hand.

We recommend that you go early in the morning, because as the day begins to dawn, the tourists are arriving with their cars.

Es Trenc

The photographs at Es Trenc come out by themselves, you only have to worry about putting on your best face. It is a long beach with white sand and crystal clear turquoise water, for which you will have to walk a long way out to sea, so that the sea covers your waist. Pose on the rocks like a mermaid, lying on the sand or bathing in the water, as any photo will become a “photon” thanks to this incomparable environment.

Here’s a secret: If you want to fool your friends, you can tag your photo as if you were in Cancun or Punta Cana. No one will notice, as this beach is truly paradise.

Sa Foradada

Sa Foradada is one of the most photographed spots on the island and consists of a small peninsula, which ends with a rock formation, which has a hole in the centre. Legend has it that this hole was formed by a cannon shot during a naval battle between Christians and North African corsairs in the 16th century. It is a place that will allow you to take good photos without too much effort. 

You can try to take an original selfie and try to get your finger inside the hole, as if it were a doughnut.

Valldemossa

Valldemossa is by far the most beautiful village in Mallorca and has a special charm that attracts tourists and invites them to take countless photographs. In this village you can take a large number of photos to post on Instagram, as every corner is special and looks like a real postcard setting.

The port of Palma

The port of Palma is one of the best places to take a selfie in Mallorca, especially when it’s night time and all the lights are on, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Position yourself in the port and find a good spot where you can see the maritime area, your face with your best smile and the great cathedral of Palma in the background. 

The Cathedral is fully illuminated at night, so you can frame the silhouette behind you perfectly.

Raixa

We are heading inland to Mallorca to introduce you to one of the must-see places for photography enthusiasts. These are the Italian-style gardens known as Raixa. 

One of the best places to take a selfie is in the Garden of Apollo, with a grand staircase guarded by statues and fountains and with a large statue dedicated to the god Apollo dominating the whole complex.

Now you know the best places to take a selfie in Mallorca and where they are located on this great island. The best way to get to all these hidden corners is by private car. That’s why we don’t want to say goodbye to this post without introducing you to ROIG, the trusted car rental company in Mallorca, where you can find the best vehicles at an exceptional price.
