Far de Formentor

The Far de Formentor is a lighthouse combined with a cafeteria situated on Mallorca's northernmost point, offering food and drinks alongside the tower's maritime functions. The site perches on a cliff edge overlooking the Mediterranean coast with panoramic views in all directions.

The lighthouse began operating in 1863 to aid maritime navigation around the Balearic islands and their surrounding waters. A cafeteria was later added to serve visitors who traveled to this remote location.

The cafeteria serves traditional Mallorcan pastries such as empanadas and coca, reflecting local eating customs of the Balearic Islands. Visitors experience these specialties while seated on the terrace overlooking the sea.

Access to the location requires driving along a narrow road that extends over a peninsula and can be windy and steep. Wear sturdy shoes and allow time to explore the site, as it sits on elevated terrain with uneven surfaces.

This location offers a rare opportunity to watch both sunrise and sunset over the Mediterranean from a single vantage point on the peninsula. The cliff positioning and open horizon make such dual viewing moments unusual for visitors in this region.
