The Crown
2016–2023Netflix’s award-winning royal drama used Mallorca in its final seasons. Palma Bay and Puerto Portals appeared both as themselves — recreating the Spanish Royal Family’s summer holidays — and as stand-ins for Italian coastal settings. The series chronicles the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
White Lines
2020Created by Álex Pina of Money Heist fame, this mystery thriller was set in Ibiza but filmed almost entirely in Mallorca. The production used Palma Bay, the hidden coves of Calvià, and the legendary S’Estaca estate — once owned by Michael Douglas — as key locations. The series follows a woman investigating her brother’s disappearance twenty years earlier.
Cloud Atlas
2012The Wachowskis’ ambitious sci-fi epic used Mallorca’s most dramatic landscapes for its post-apocalyptic sequences. Sa Calobra’s towering limestone cliffs and turquoise waters appeared as a primitive future world, while the serpentine road to Formentor and the valleys around Sóller provided otherworldly backdrops for this six-story narrative spanning centuries.
Me Before You
2016The adaptation of Jojo Moyes’ bestselling novel chose Port de Sóller as the setting for its most romantic sequences. Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin rode the iconic wooden tram between Sóller and the port, creating one of the film’s most memorable scenes. The harbour’s crescent-shaped bay and the surrounding Tramuntana mountains provided a picture-perfect Mediterranean backdrop.
