How to choose accommodation in Mallorca
The Sun will be very low toward the west-northwest, almost setting. The west and northwest coast of the island (the Serra de Tramuntana, the Andratx to Sóller area) offers an open sea horizon in that direction, ideal for not losing the Sun's last degrees of altitude.
Avoid accommodation with a mountain or high cliffs directly to the west. Prioritize a clear horizon over the specific beach. As it's August in Mallorca, book a flexible-cancellation rate and as far ahead as possible.
