Winter in Mallorca – Here’s all you need to know

December 12 2024

When people think of Mallorca, they often picture long summer days spent lounging on the beach under the Mediterranean sun. We do too! But it's good for you to know that while summer is undoubtedly a popular season, winter in Mallorca holds its own special charm. This quieter time of year reveals a side of the island that’s perfect for those who appreciate outdoor activities, cultural traditions, and a more relaxed pace of life.

The weather in Mallorca during winter

Winter in Mallorca is generally mild, with daytime temperatures often hovering around 15°C (59°F). While you may experience occasional rain or a cool breeze, the island still enjoys plenty of sunshine. It’s ideal weather for those who love to get outside—neither too hot nor too cold—making it perfect for hikes, bike rides, and leisurely strolls along the coast. Remember Mallorca boasts over 300 days of sunshine!

Things to do in Mallorca in winter

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, winter is an excellent time to explore Mallorca’s natural beauty. The stunning Serra de Tramuntana mountain range offers a wealth of hiking and cycling routes, with lush landscapes and fewer crowds than in the summer. Small villages like Valldemossa, Deià, and Sóller are even more enchanting when they’re not bustling with tourists. Stroll through cobblestone streets, enjoy a coffee in a quiet plaza, or capture Instagram-worthy pics of centuries-old architecture.

For cyclists, Mallorca in winter is a dream. The roads are less crowded, making it easier to navigate winding routes and challenging climbs. The island’s temperate climate ensures you won’t overheat as you pedal through picturesque countryside and past charming stone villages.

Christmas Markets on Mallorca

Winter also brings the magic of Christmas markets. Palma, the island’s capital, is known for its festive displays, twinkling lights, and a variety of seasonal markets. The most famous ones can be found at Plaça Major and along La Rambla, where you’ll find artisanal crafts, holiday treats, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Another must-see is the Puerto Portals Christmas Market, renowned for its lively ambiance, gourmet food, and unique gifts. These markets add a festive sparkle to the island’s winter charm. And they're open until after 'Three Kings', giving you tons of time to enjoy them.
