Banyalbufar
07191 Banyalbufar, Balearic Islands, Spain
Banyalbufar is a small, tranquil cliffside village on Mallorca’s northwest coast in the Serra de Tramuntana, known for its stepped dry‑stone terraces, traditional stone houses and intimate harbour that together deliver dramatic sea and sunset views.
What Makes It Special
What makes Banyalbufar special is its ancient terraced landscape — narrow dry‑stone walls carved into the slope to grow Malvasia grapes and other fruit — creating a distinctive, photogenic pattern that reflects traditional island agriculture and irrigation techniques.
Insider Tips
Drive the scenic MA‑10 and park at the village edge, then explore on foot in the late afternoon for cooler temperatures and the best light; wear sturdy shoes for steep, uneven streets and coastal paths, and plan to swim from rocky coves near the small harbour rather than expect sandy beaches.
