When to go

Sun-worshippers will love the summer, when temperatures rarely dip below 30ºC, but expect the island to be busy; go in autumn for warm waters without the crowds. In winter and spring, Mallorca is mild, sunny and much quieter.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Touch down at Palma Airport from most major European cities, then hop in a taxi or hire a car. It’s a 10-kilometre drive to the centre of Palma, 60 kilometres to Alcúdia, 30 kilometres to Sóller and just under 40 kilometres to Deià.
  • Boats

    Hop on a ferry to Palma from Barcelona, Valencia or Ibiza, or to Alcúdia from Toulon in France.
  • Trains

    From Palma Intermodal Station, one railway line heads north-east to Inca and one north to Sóller. Take the vintage electric train from Palma to Sóller, then enjoy the scenic route from there to Port de Sóller by tram.
  • Automobiles

    Driving is a breeze on this island, and routes are well signposted. Hire a car and explore the winding mountain roads for coastal views at heart-thumping heights.
  • Taxis

    Cabs are cheap and easy to find in Palma itself, but you’re better off hiring a car if you plan to do any longer journeys around the island.
