Mallorca eclipse trio - Trío Ibérico (Iberian Trio)

Did you watch the world go dark during summer 2026?

On August 12, 2026, Mallorca witnessed a historic total solar eclipse [3]. On our rooftop terrace at Bedndesk Mallorca, we stood alongside digital nomads and remote workers, watching the sun thin out like a "French tip manicure" before totality plunged us into a surreal, silvery-blue twilight [3]. We had perfect, crystal-clear skies, cold drinks, and a front-row seat to one of the greatest spectacles on Earth [3].

But for hundreds of thousands of travelers on the island, yesterday was a logistics nightmare. Mallorca was placed under Operational Level 2 of the emergency plan [3]. The Serra de Tramuntana was paralyzed by traffic gridlocks, key roads were shut down, and frustrated tourists spent up to two and a half hours in bus lines trying to escape [3].

If you missed this one—or if you're ready for more—we have incredible news. The celestial show is far from over. Spain is in the middle of a rare golden era called the Iberian Eclipse Trio [3], and Mallorca is perfectly positioned for two more spectacular solar eclipses back-to-back in 2027 and 2028!

Here is the ultimate guide to Mallorca’s upcoming eclipse double-header—and why Bedndesk S'Arenal is the single best place to live, work, and witness them with zero stress.

Mallorca's Eclipse Double-Header: The Dates & Timings

Forget about driving into traffic-choked mountain passes or guessing where to look. Here is exactly what is heading our way, with precise local coordinates from our home base in the Bay of Palma:

Round 1: August 2, 2027 – The Spectacular Morning Deep Partial Eclipse

On the morning of August 2, 2027, the Moon will cover almost the entire Sun [5]. While the path of totality passes slightly south across Andalusia and North Africa, Mallorca gets a massive 89.54% (approx. 90%) obscuration [5].

• The Timing: The partial eclipse begins at 09:49 AM, reaches its breathtaking peak at 10:58 AM, and wraps up by 12:13 PM [5].
• The View from Bedndesk: Because the eclipse occurs in the late morning, the Sun will be positioned reasonably high in the south-eastern sky. You won't need to travel anywhere—our rooftop terrace at Bedndesk offers a completely unobstructed view of the morning sky.
• The Vibe: Imagine finishing your morning emails, grabbing a coffee, stepping onto our sunny terrace with your ISO-certified eclipse glasses, and watching the sun turn into a blazing crescent alongside your coliving crew [5].

Round 2: January 26, 2028 – The Legendary Sunset "Ring of Fire" 🔥

This is the big one. This is the holy grail for Mallorca.

On Wednesday, January 26, 2028, Mallorca will lie directly within the path of annularity [1, 2]. Observers on the island will witness a spectacular "Ring of Fire"—where the Moon perfectly centers itself inside the Sun, leaving a brilliant, blazing ring of sunlight shining around its edges [1, 2].

• The Timings: The eclipse begins at 16:41 (4:41 PM) [1, 6]. Annularity officially starts at 17:55:02 (5:55 PM), reaches its absolute maximum at 17:57:27, and ends at 17:59:52 [1, 6].
• The Duration: Mallorca is blessed with a massive annularity duration of 4 minutes and 50 seconds (up to 5 minutes 16 seconds in some areas of Palma!) [1, 6].

The Ultimate Sunset Challenge: Why S’Arenal is Technically Superior 🌊

An annular eclipse is spectacular, but the 2028 event poses a massive practical challenge: it happens right at sunset.

Sunset in Mallorca is at 18:01:23—just 90 seconds after annularity ends! [6] During the peak of the eclipse (17:57), the Sun will be hovering an absolute hair above the horizon at a Sun Elevation of only 0.36° [6].

If you are staying in the mountain valleys of the north, in dense cities, or anywhere with western hills, the "Ring of Fire" will be completely blocked by land, trees, or buildings before it even reaches its peak [6]. You will miss the main event entirely.

But S'Arenal faces West-North-West (Azimuth 245.57°) across the wide-open Bay of Palma [6]. From Bedndesk, we have a completely flat, unobstructed horizon of pure open water [6].

You will literally watch the "Ring of Fire" ignite, burn brilliantly for nearly 5 minutes, and then slowly dip directly into the sparkling Mediterranean Sea at sunset [6]. It is, mathematically and geographically, the most perfect viewing spot on the entire island.

Play it Safe: Eclipse Watching Best Practices

Whether you are watching the morning crescent of 2027 or the sunset ring of 2028, safety is paramount:

1. Always wear ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses [5]. Even during the peak of annularity or a 90% partial eclipse, looking directly at the Sun without protection will cause permanent eye damage [5].
2. Never look through cameras, telescopes, or binoculars without professional solar filters on the front of the lenses [5].
3. Have a backup plan: Low winter clouds can sometimes roll in during January [5]. At Bedndesk, we track the satellite forecasts in real-time, giving us the flexibility to adjust our viewing setup on the beach or terrace at a moment's notice [5].
