On August 12, 2026, the skies over the Balearic Islands will become the stage for a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic show: a total solar eclipse visible from Mallorca, Ibiza, and Menorca. A global astronomical event you can experience by the Mediterranean Sea, in the best company: Vibra Hotels.
A total eclipse from Spain for the first time in over 120 years
This astronomical phenomenon — the first visible from the Iberian Peninsula since 1905 — will attract thousands of travelers, scientists, and sky lovers. The eclipse will begin around 7:35 p.m. (local time), when the Moon aligns with the Sun and fully covers it for a few magical moments. In the Balearic Islands, this will happen right at sunset, over the sea horizon, creating a scene that feels out of this world.
The Balearic Islands: the perfect place to witness the total solar eclipse
Eclipse in Mallorca: The epicenter of observation
From the Serra de Tramuntana to coastal viewpoints like Sa Foradada, Formentor, or Puig de Galatzó, Mallorca offers unbeatable conditions to experience this cosmic event in full connection with nature.
Eclipse in Ibiza: Magic, west coast, and sunset views
The energy of the White Island will feel even more powerful during the eclipse. Areas like Cala Comte, Es Vedrà, Cala d’Hort, or Puig des Savinar are unforgettable spots to watch the sun disappear.
Eclipse in Menorca: Calm, clear skies, and pure nature
Menorca, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, offers some of the clearest skies in Europe. The eclipse will be visible from many points across the island, and its low light pollution makes it the perfect setting for a more intimate and contemplative experience.
