Frequently Asked Questions about Mallorca
Which places should you avoid in Mallorca?
Magaluf and S'Arenal are considered overcrowded and noisy during peak summer. If you seek tranquillity, skip the major party zones and explore the northeast around Artà and Capdepera or the interior near Sineu and Alaró instead. Generally, Mallorca is a very safe island — it's less about avoiding places and more about discovering spots away from the tourist crowds.
When is the best time to visit Mallorca?
The ideal time is May to June and September to October: pleasant 22–28 °C temperatures, little rain and significantly fewer tourists than July/August. For swimming, June to October offers water temperatures of 21–26 °C. Hikers prefer February to April, when the almond blossom transforms the island into a sea of white flowers.
Which part of Mallorca is the most beautiful?
The Serra de Tramuntana in the northwest is a UNESCO World Heritage Site offering spectacular mountain landscapes with villages like Valldemossa, Deià and Sóller. For beaches, the northeast around Cala Mesquida and Cala Agulla is ideal. The southeast captivates with turquoise coves like Cala Mondragó. Each region has its own character — we recommend exploring several.
What should you watch out for in Mallorca?
Sun protection is essential — UV radiation is significantly stronger than in Northern Europe. In traffic: roundabouts have right of way, the alcohol limit is 0.5 per mille. Check rental car insurance carefully. Don't pick plants in nature reserves. Tap water in Mallorca is safe but tastes chalky — many prefer bottled water.
Which month has the most rain in Mallorca?
October and November are the wettest months with an average of 8–10 rainy days and up to 90 mm of precipitation. However, these are often short, intense showers — known as gota fría. The driest months are July and August with an average of only 1–2 rainy days. Find current weather data in our weather section.
What are the must-see places in Mallorca?
Top highlights include: La Seu Cathedral in Palma, the mountain village of Valldemossa, Cala Varques bay, the weekly market in Sineu (Wednesdays), Cap de Formentor and the Drach Caves near Porto Cristo. For families, the S'Albufera Nature Park and the historic train journey from Palma to Sóller are highly recommended.
How many days are enough for Mallorca?
For a relaxed overview, we recommend 7–10 days: 2–3 days in Palma with its old town and gastronomy, 2 days in the Serra de Tramuntana (hiking, villages), 2–3 days beach-hopping on the east coast and 1–2 days exploring the interior with markets and wineries. A week suffices for a beach holiday, but Mallorca offers so much that many return.
Can foreigners buy property in Mallorca?
Yes, EU citizens can purchase property in Mallorca without restrictions. You need an NIE number (foreigner identification number), which can be obtained from the foreigners' office or Spanish consulate. Transfer tax (ITP) ranges from 8–13 % depending on the purchase price. We recommend an independent lawyer and a surveyor. Browse current property listings in our classifieds.
What are the top 10 hidden gems in Mallorca?
Our insider tips: 1) Cala Deià — small cove with fish restaurant, 2) Ermita de Betlem — hike with sea views, 3) Biniagual Winery — tasting in a village without streets, 4) Sant Elm — fishing village overlooking Sa Dragonera, 5) Santanyí Market (Saturday), 6) Cala Figuera — authentic fishing village, 7) Castell d'Alaró — castle hike, 8) Orient — mountain hamlet with 40 residents, 9) Platja des Coll Baix — only accessible on foot, 10) Petra — birthplace of Junípero Serra.
Where do locals eat in Mallorca?
Mallorcans avoid tourist restaurants on the beachfront. Popular locals' spots: Ca'n Joan de s'Aigo in Palma (since 1700), Bar España in Palma for tapas, Es Molí d'en Bou in Sa Coma (Michelin-starred), Celler Sa Premsa in Palma for traditional Mallorcan home cooking, and Ca'n Mateu in Algaida. Tip: if the daily menu is only posted in Spanish, that's where the locals eat.
Where is the cheapest place to live in Mallorca?
The most affordable areas are inland: Manacor, Inca, Llucmajor and the Pla de Mallorca municipalities like Sineu, Petra and Vilafranca. Rents there range from €600–900 for a 2-bedroom flat, compared to €1,200–2,500 in Palma or southwest coastal towns. The Calvià hinterland and the north around Pollença also offer good alternatives.
Is property in Mallorca a good investment?
Mallorca has seen rising property prices for years — averaging 6–8 % annually. Rental yields for holiday lets reach 4–7 % gross, though licence requirements are strict. As a personal residence and retirement plan, Mallorca is attractive: mild climate, good infrastructure, EU healthcare system. Factor in running costs: IBI (property tax), community fees, insurance.
