Torre de Cala en Basset
07159 Andratx, Balearic Islands, Spain
Torre de Cala en Basset is a historic coastal watchtower on the Andratx shoreline of south‑west Mallorca, perched above a small cove and forming part of the island’s old network of defensive towers. It’s a compact, photogenic landmark that rewards visitors with sweeping Mediterranean views and a palpable sense of maritime history.
What Makes It Special
Its dramatic, cliff‑edge position directly above a turquoise cove provides uninterrupted sea vistas and excellent sunset photography opportunities — you can watch boats pass and the light change over the bay from a very intimate, exposed vantage point.
Insider Tips
The approach involves uneven, rocky paths and the site is not wheelchair accessible, so wear sturdy shoes; aim for late afternoon for cooler temperatures and the best light, respect any fencing or signs (don’t climb the tower) and combine the stop with a short swim in the nearby cove or a boat trip from the local ports.
