If you’re hoping to visit the iconic Formentor Lighthouse this summer (made famous by so many adverts and images) be aware that seasonal traffic restrictions will be in force to limit the number of vehicles and visitors and so protect the environment of the Serra de Tramuntana (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
In short, between 15th May 2026 and 15th October 2026 access via the Ma-2210 road will be restricted between 10a.m. and 10p.m. Outside of these dates, the road is open to all vehicles as usual. Unauthorised access results in automatic fines of €200! enforced by traffic cameras.
There are 2 separate “zones” and the rules are slightly different for each one.
Zone One
The first “zone” is the Formentor Beach Section of the road (km 2 → km 8.7) which allows limited access to private cars and motorcycles until all of the authorized parking spaces are full, at which time only buses, taxis, cyclists, and authorised vehicles may continue.
Zone Two
The second zone is the Formentor Lighthouse Section (km 8.7 → km 19.6) and here absolutely no private cars or motorcycles are allowed between 10:00 and 22:00. If you enter before 10:00 a.m., you must leave by 9:59 a.m.
