Mallorca is a Mediterranean island, which means that it enjoys relatively hot and sunny weather all year round. If you really want to max out on high temperatures and sunshine then the best time to visit is between June and September, which is part of the high season for tourism.
If you’d prefer less intense heat and fewer crowds then March to May or October are the best months to visit, or you can come to stay over the winter season to enjoy a more authentic atmosphere, milder weather conditions and lower prices.
One of the most popular things to do in Mallorca is spending time on the beach enjoying the warm weather and swimming in the sea. There is a huge range of beaches to choose from across the island, whether you’re looking for long stretches of sand lined with cafes and restaurants or secluded coves with stunning views of the ocean.
Mallorca also has a brilliant range of sightseeing attractions, from the Alfabia Gardens to the Old Town in Alcúdia. It’s also quite a popular Spanish holiday destination for hiking, with plenty of established trails through the hills and mountains that are suitable for all abilities.
The best places to go in Mallorca will really depend on what you’re looking for from the location. Those who want to enjoy a lively atmosphere and plenty of shops, bars and restaurants will enjoy places like Palma, history fans will love Pollensa, those looking for glitz and glamour should visit Puerto Portals, and if you’re looking to get off the beaten track then Banyalbufar should be at the top of your list.
