Why Book Palma Holidays
Cathedral & Old Town
Palma's Gothic Cathedral – La Seu – rising dramatically above the harbour is one of the most imposing medieval structures in the Mediterranean. The old town below, with its Arab Baths, Renaissance palaces, and vibrant restaurant scene, rewards extended exploration.
Beaches Around Majorca
Majorca offers an extraordinary variety of beach experiences: the broad sandy bays of the Bay of Palma for families, the turquoise calas of the east coast for snorkelling, and the dramatic cliff-framed coves of the north for those seeking the extraordinary. No two beaches are alike.
Serra de Tramuntana Mountains
The UNESCO-listed Tramuntana mountain range stretches along Majorca's northwest coast, offering breathtaking scenery, charming stone villages like Deià and Valldemossa, and world-class cycling routes. It's a remarkable contrast with the island's coastal resorts.
Food, Wine & Culture
Palma's dining scene has evolved dramatically in recent years, with a cluster of innovative restaurants drawing international food media attention. The island's local wines, sobrasada sausage, and ensaïmades pastries add an authentic Mallorcan dimension to every meal.
Best Time to Visit Palma
Palma's climate follows a classic Mediterranean pattern. Highs are around 15°C in January, 20°C in April and 24°C in May, rising to 28°C in June and about 31°C in July and August. The sea lags behind the air, at around 19°C in May and 23°C in June. It is warmest in August at about 27°C and holds at around 26°C in September and 23°C in October.
Summers are close to rainless, but storms return from September, and October to December is the wettest stretch, with rain on around six days a month. October is the most underrated month for a beach-and-city mix, with highs in the mid-20s and sea still warm enough for a proper swim.
Palma itself works year-round. In winter, highs of around 15°C, short queues at La Seu and plenty of sunshine suit a city break with mountain walks, but treat any swim from December to April as a bracing one. July and August bring the highest demand on flights from the UK.
