Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at Palma, 8 km from the airport (PMI): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest from June to September; quietest from December to March.

Then and now

Mallorca's June days now average 29.6°C, 4.6°C warmer than in 1981–1990. 11 of 12 months are clearly warmer.

Getting there

How far Mallorca is, and what it costs, depends on where you set off from — the months above do not.

Before you go

Type C and F plugs at 230 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Euro. No UK Foreign Office advice against travel. Everything for Spain: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.

Being there

On arrival

Paying — Credit and debit cards are widely accepted. Some shops ask for ID, sometimes a passport, before taking a card.
UPI, for visitors from India — Not accepted for paying here; bring a card that works abroad.
Tipping — Not expected; at better restaurants leave 5 to 10% in cash for exemplary service. Round up taxi fares if you like.

Getting around Mallorca

Pay with a bank card on board EMT's A1 bus between the airport and Palma's centre, and on EMT's city buses, which were all due to take cards by the end of March 2026. TIB buses, trains and the metro, for the rest of Mallorca, take bank cards too; TIB buses leave from the Estación Intermodal at Plaza de España.

Apps — Rides: Bolt, Cabify, FreeNow, Uber. Maps: Google Maps, Apple Maps. Messages: WhatsApp.

What Mallorca is like

Mallorca or Majorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, all governed by Spain. It's an easy-to-reach destination well-developed for tourism, with sunny beaches, fascinating old towns, mountain scenery and great food and wine. More on Wikivoyage

Worth seeing: Palma old town is centred on its cathedral. Medieval city walls still stand, with narrow streets within. More on Wikivoyage
Worth doing: Hiking: the principal trail is Ruta de Pedra (GR221, taking eight days along the northwest coast from Andratx to Port de Pollença. More on Wikivoyage
Getting in: Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI IATA) is the island's only commercial airport, and where most visitors arrive. It has frequent scheduled flights from Madrid, Barcelona and other Spanish cities. More on Wikivoyage
Staying safe: Safeguard valuables, beware traffic including water traffic when swimming, and steer clear of antisocial drunks. More on Wikivoyage

Kind of place

Mallorca is in Spain, Europe. Distances are great-circle, so a short one can still be a long way round.
