Mallorca is enjoying an unexpected Hollywood moment, with Eva Longoria’s latest film putting the island’s beaches, villages and landscapes in front of a huge international audience.
The Last Sunrise, now streaming on Prime Video, has quickly become one of the platform’s biggest films worldwide, with Mallorca providing the spectacular backdrop for much of the story.
Mallorca takes centre stage
The romantic drama stars Maia Reficco, Fernando Lindez and Eva Longoria, (who didn’t have too far to travel as a full-time resident of Marbella) but it is Mallorca that could arguably be considered the film’s biggest star.
The production showcases the island’s scenery throughout the story, from its dramatic coastline to picturesque villages and historic locations.
The film was shot in Mallorca during 2025, with locations including Sa Fortaleza in Pollença, as well as Deià and Valldemossa. Some scenes were also filmed on neighbouring Menorca.
The result is a glossy showcase of the Balearic landscape, giving international viewers a glimpse of Mallorca beyond the traditional tourist hotspots.
A global streaming success
The film appears to have struck a chord with Prime Video viewers.
Recent figures reported by the Majorca Daily Bulletin, citing FlixPatrol, showed The Last Sunrise had reached number one on Prime Video’s Top 10 Movies Chart on August 27.
It was reportedly number one in 33 countries, including the UK and Canada, while reaching number two in the United States.
That gives Mallorca a potentially valuable piece of international exposure at a time when destinations around the world are competing for tourists and film productions.
Unlike a conventional tourism campaign, the island is effectively being advertised through a feature-length romance being watched by audiences around the world.
What is The Last Sunrise about?
The film follows Oriah, known as Ry, played by Reficco, who travels to Mallorca with her mother Isolde, played by Longoria.
Ry has a serious health condition and is facing difficult decisions about her future. During their stay on the island, she meets Julián, a local fisherman played by Lindez, and the pair develop a romantic relationship.
The story combines romance, family tensions and questions about living life to the fullest, while Mallorca becomes an important part of Ry’s journey.
The film also touches on tourism and overcrowding, adding a topical element for audiences familiar with the challenges facing the island.
Another boost for Mallorca on screen
Mallorca has already provided the setting for international productions including Mobland, The Night Manager and The Mallorca Files.
However, The Last Sunrise could prove particularly powerful from a tourism perspective because of its romantic storyline and extensive use of recognisable island scenery.
For anyone who already knows Mallorca, the film offers a chance to spot familiar landscapes and locations. For viewers who have never visited, its sweeping coastal views and beautiful villages could provide an irresistible introduction.
And with the film continuing to attract viewers on Prime Video, Mallorca is getting a global showcase that no traditional advertising campaign could quite replicate.
