Mallorca Solar Eclipse 2026: Hotels for a unique experience

On 12 August 2026, Mallorca will witness one of the most eagerly awaited astronomical events of recent decades: a total solar eclipse. An exceptional phenomenon that will pass over much of Spain and for which the Balearic Islands will provide one of the most spectacular backdrops before it disappears over the Mediterranean.

There are moments capable of turning a trip into a memory that lasts a lifetime. This eclipse is set to be one of them. At Hoposa Hotels, we are preparing to welcome it, not as just another event, but as an opportunity to pause time and enjoy a unique spectacle from the front row.

Imagine watching this phenomenon from the sea-facing terraces of Hoposa Illa d’Or (Port de Pollença) or surrounded by nature at Hoposa Costa d’Or (Serra de Tramuntana). Two perfect settings with endless horizons.

Those who have experienced it say that a total eclipse cannot be explained – it has to be felt. Beyond the science, what is truly awe-inspiring is what happens around you at that very moment. 

In Mallorca, the experience will be even more special. The eclipse will start to become visible at around 7.40 pm, although the most eagerly awaited moment will arrive at around 8.32 pm. 

Totality will last just a few minutes before sunset, creating an exceptional combination of the darkness of the eclipse and the last glimmers of daylight over the Mediterranean.

Situated right on the seafront in Port de Pollença, Hoposa Illa d’Or boasts one of the most iconic locations in the north of Mallorca. Its terraces, proximity to the water and the tranquillity of the surroundings make it an ideal spot from which to watch the sky gradually change during the eclipse.

During the eclipse, the hotel will provide the perfect setting to watch as the sky and the sea transform before our very eyes.

Nestled amongst some of Mallorca’s most spectacular scenery, Hoposa Costa d’Or combines the beauty of the mountains with breathtaking views of the Serra de Tramuntana and the Mediterranean.

For this special occasion, the hotel will be serving a dinner based on its current menu, accompanied by a welcome drink. Guests will also be provided with certified eclipse glasses so they can view the eclipse safely and enjoy the experience to the full.

More and more travellers are seeking authentic experiences that allow them to connect with their destination in a different way. A solar eclipse brings together precisely these elements: nature, excitement and once-in-a-lifetime moments. 

At Hoposa, we believe that the best memories are created when the setting, the moment and the people come together to create something special. That is why this event fits perfectly with our approach to hospitality.

To view the eclipse safely, it is essential to use approved solar viewing glasses. Ordinary sunglasses do not provide the necessary protection.

Busca un espacio abierto y despejado donde puedes disfrutar tanto del fenómeno como del paisaje que te rodea. 

One of the best ways to experience the eclipse is to take your time. Arriving early will allow you to find the perfect spot, relax and fully enjoy this unique experience.

A solar eclipse lasts just a few minutes, but the feelings it evokes linger for much longer.

That is why this event fits so well with the Hoposa philosophy. It is not just about observing an astronomical phenomenon, but about savouring the moment, switching off from the hustle and bustle, and sharing a unique experience in some of Mallorca’s most beautiful spots.

Because some memories are born from the great monuments or the places we visit. And others emerge when something extraordinary happens right before our eyes.

On 12 August 2026, the Mediterranean will be the setting. And Mallorca, the place from which to experience it.
