Top filming locations in Mallorca.

From cathedral squares to protected coastline, mountain roads to covered markets. Every location on this page comes with its own permit authority, its own process, and its own timeline.

Featured locations

The most sought-after production backdrops on the island.

Each of these locations requires a different authority and a different permit application. We coordinate them all.

Palma de Mallorca cathedral La Seu Palma old town
City · Heritage · Streets · Waterfront

La Seu & the historic quarter

The Gothic cathedral, the Almudaina Palace, the narrow medieval lanes of the old town and the sea-facing Parc de la Mar. Palma's historic centre has appeared in The Night Manager, The Crown, and a constant flow of car campaigns, fashion editorials and travel productions. The combination of monumental architecture, manageable street widths and reliable Mediterranean light makes it one of the most versatile urban locations in southern Europe.

Permit authority: Ajuntament de Palma + heritage body (Consell de Patrimoni)
Es Trenc beach Mallorca white sand turquoise water South coast
Beach · Protected nature · Water · Sand

Es Trenc & the south coast

Unspoilt white sand and shallow turquoise water, protected by national park status and free from large-scale tourist development. Es Trenc is the benchmark Mallorca beach location for travel brands, swimwear and automotive advertising. The protection that keeps it beautiful also makes the permit process more demanding: applications go through the coastal demarcation authority and require an environmental statement. Start early.

Permit authority: Demarcación de Costas de Illes Balears + municipality of Ses Salines

Mountain roads · UNESCO · Cliffs · Hairpins

Tramuntana mountain roads

The UNESCO World Heritage mountain range that runs along Mallorca's northwest coast produces the kind of roads that car brands travel across Europe to film. Dramatic hairpin bends, sheer cliff drops to the sea, dry-stone walls and changing light conditions through the morning make this the island's most in-demand automotive location. The UNESCO designation means heritage conditions apply on top of the standard road permit from the Consell de Mallorca.

Mercat de l'Olivar Palma market stalls food Palma market
Market · Interior · Food culture · Architecture

Mercat de l’Olivar

Palma's main covered food market, housed in a mid-century building with iron columns and high glass ceilings. Over 100 stalls selling fresh fish, meat, cheese, produce and prepared food. The market's combination of authentic local atmosphere, dramatic interior light and accessible logistics makes it a consistent choice for food brands, lifestyle productions and editorial shoots. Permits require coordination with both the town hall and the market management company.

From mountain coves to medieval towns.

Port de Sóller harbour Mallorca

Port de Sóller

Port · Historic tram · Mountain backdrop

A sheltered horseshoe bay with a working port, a historic tram line and the Tramuntana mountains rising directly behind. Used in The Crown and a regular choice for travel and automotive productions wanting a harbour setting with character.

Deià village Mallorca hillside

Deià

Mountain village · Cove · Artists’ town

A hillside village perched above the northwest coast, with a small rocky cove below. The restaurant Ca's Patro March in the cove was the memorable setting for The Night Manager. Deià attracts fashion, luxury brand and editorial productions drawn by its combination of rugged landscape and refined atmosphere.

Cap de Formentor lighthouse Mallorca cliffs

Cap de Formentor

Cliffs · Lighthouse · Dramatic views

The northernmost tip of Mallorca — a narrow peninsula of pine forest ending in sheer cliffs above a deep blue sea. The lighthouse at the end of the road is one of the most recognisable images of the island. Access road permits apply and seasonal traffic restrictions affect shooting windows.

Palma waterfront passeig maritim

Passeig Marítim, Palma

Waterfront · Promenade · Harbour · City

Palma's seafront promenade running from the cathedral to the marina, with the old city wall on one side and the harbour on the other. Versatile for corporate, lifestyle and travel productions wanting an urban Mediterranean setting with the option to include boats and water.

Sa Calobra canyon Mallorca

Sa Calobra

Canyon · Coast · Torrent de Pareis

A remote bay at the end of one of Europe's most dramatic access roads, where the Torrent de Pareis gorge meets the sea. Used in Cloud Atlas for its otherworldly appearance. The remoteness and protected natural status mean logistics planning and lead times are more demanding than most locations.

Alcúdia old town medieval walls Mallorca

Alcúdia old town

Medieval walls · Streets · Market · Port

One of the best-preserved medieval towns in Mallorca, with intact 14th-century walls, narrow stone streets and a large weekly market. The adjacent port and the natural bay of Albufera extend the available location range considerably. Quieter than Palma, with a different visual character — more worn, more authentic.
