Mallorca Sunset Eclipse Tour 2026

Imagine the excitement of witnessing a total solar eclipse as the Sun hovers just above the horizon, moments before sunset. Experience this celestial wonder from a luxurious five-star resort perched on a stunning cliff on the enchanting island of Mallorca! 🌴✨

The total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, promises to be particularly extraordinary. As the Moon's shadow sweeps across Spain, the eclipsed Sun will float just a few degrees above the western horizon. Few have witnessed the unique thrill of totality with the Sun at such a low angle, distorting its silhouette into an oval due to atmospheric refraction.

From Mallorca, you will enjoy a spectacular view as totality occurs with the Sun less than 3° above the horizon. This positioning offers a rare atmospheric interplay, creating dramatic effects that are seldom seen when totality is high in the sky. 🌌

Sky & Telescope has arranged accommodations at the Jumeirah Port Sóller Hotel & Spa, a five-star resort located atop a 250-foot-high cliff overlooking the Balearic Sea. Every terrace and ocean-view room ensures an unobstructed view toward the west, where the eclipse will unfold. 🌊🏨

With amazing prospects for clear skies on eclipse day — about 75% chance of success, especially on the western coast — you can maximize your experience. Past satellite data has shown that the Balearic Islands enjoy the least cloud cover facing the setting Sun.

During the eclipse, totality will last 1 minute and 34 seconds from Port de Sóller, with the partial eclipse beginning at 7:38 p.m. local time, leading into mid-eclipse at 8:31:32 p.m., and a breathtaking crescent Sun disappearing just before sunset at 8:50 p.m. 🕒🌞

Your adventure begins in Barcelona, one of Spain's most vibrant cities, before sailing across the Balearic Sea to Mallorca. After the thrill of eclipse day, the tour will conclude, allowing you to return home via Madrid or extend your stay in Spain at your leisure.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to witness a spectacular eclipse just before sunset! ☀️💫
