Secluded coves in the heart of paradise  

The magnetism and beauty of Mallorca’s coves is simply irresistible. Turquoise waters, dramatic rock formations, shifting light and a palpable sense of untouched paradise create a setting that captivates both film crews and seekers of serenity. 

These natural backdrops, free of artifice, have framed romantic interludes, thrilling adventures, and scenes crafted for maximum visual impact. 

• Cloud Atlas (2012), scenes in untouched coves and cliffs in the north. 
• Me Before You (2016), filmed in Port de Sóller. 
• Black Jack (1950), with outdoor scenes shot on the north coast of the island. 
• Woman of Straw (1964), with Sean Connery and Gina Lollobrigida, with scenes set in Cala Rajada and Portocolom. 

Great film locations that you can explore very easily from the Zafiro Son Sabater and Can Ribera by Zafiro, one of our Zafiro Boutique Collection hotels. Both are located at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains and near some of the most famous beaches in northern Mallorca such as Alcúdia, Playa de Muro or Pollensa.  

Monuments steeped in history, embraced by nature 

Majestic castles, timeworn walls, and cloisters that whisper serenity… Mallorca preserves places where heritage and landscape converge in quiet harmony. From Bellver Castle, sentinel of the Bay of Palma, to the monastery of Valldemossa, renowned for hosting Chopin and George Sand, these storied sites invite reflection and wonder. 

Other iconic landmarks include the Sanctuary of Lluc—the island’s spiritual heart—and the medieval walls of Alcudia, encircling one of Mallorca’s best-preserved historic quarters. Add to that stately country manors like Raixa and Alfàbia, with their centuries-old olive groves and gardens that echo a bygone era. 

Together, they form a rich cultural tapestry that makes Mallorca a truly unique film location.

• Evil Under the Sun (1982), with scenes filmed in Raixa and La Dragonera 
• Sword of Honour (2001), filmed in Valldemossa and at the San Carlos Castle

• A Winter in Mallorca (1969), inspired by the novel by George Sand and filmed in the Valldemossa monastery. 

Andratx, where your own movie begins 

Puerto de Andratx is another of the popular settings for films on the island. Its calm waters and surrounding mountains, the glamour and the cosmopolitan atmosphere have all seduced directors and actors alike.
