Colònia de Sant Jordi, Port d'Alcúdia, Port d'Andratx, Port de Sóller and Palma top the list of the most pleasant promenades to stroll along on a summer evening on the island.
Mallorca offers multiple options to enjoy the sunset, and one of the simplest and free plans is to walk along its promenades. With the sea breeze and the light of dusk, these routes become the perfect setting for a family outing or a leisurely walk. Here are five of the most notable.
Colònia de Sant Jordi
At the southern tip of the island, the promenade in Colònia de Sant Jordi maintains a serene atmosphere even in high season. The route runs alongside the fishing port and small beaches, flanked by restaurants and cafés with sea views.
On clear days, the profile of the Cabrera archipelago can be seen from various points. It is a comfortable walk for families, with multiple stops to grab an ice cream or have dinner as evening falls. The sea breeze alleviates the heat of the last hours of the day.
Port d'Alcúdia
The promenade at Port d'Alcúdia stretches for several kilometres alongside one of the longest beaches in Mallorca. The path is completely flat, making walking easy while the bay remains just a few metres away.
Along the route, there are terraces, ice cream parlours, playgrounds, and restaurants, making it an ideal option for families. At sunset, the promenade comes alive without feeling overwhelming.
Port d'Andratx
The natural harbour of Andratx offers a different experience. Here, the walk runs alongside the moorings, boats, and terraces overlooking the port. In the late afternoon, the movement of the boats and the activity of the restaurants accompany the stroll.
The hills surrounding the bay complete a landscape that invites walking without a specific destination. It is a perfect place for those seeking a more intimate and maritime atmosphere.
Port de Sóller
The promenade at Port de Sóller features some of the most iconic landscapes in Mallorca. The beach, the port, and the historic tram share space on a route that tends to fill with visitors as the sun sets.
As the tram crosses the promenade, locals and tourists mingle among terraces, benches, and ice cream shops. In the background, the Serra de Tramuntana frames the entire bay, making the promenade one of the most photographed on the island.
Palma
The promenade in Palma offers one of the most complete routes to end a summer day. From Porto Pi to the Parc de la Mar, the itinerary runs along the bay between marinas, gardens, and wide pedestrian areas.
The Cathedral accompanies much of the route and changes perspective as one progresses. As evening falls, the promenade fills with people out for a walk, exercising, or simply looking for a terrace by the sea to end the day.
