How these figures are worked out

Monthly averages — ERA5 reanalysis, 2022–2024, a three-year average, not a standard 30-year climate normal or a forecast. Gold months are the best weather fit: each month scores on how close its average daily high sits to about 27 °C, with heavy rainfall counting against it, and months far outside that range are not ranked at all.

How we work this out

What each season is like

Spring
Shoulder season is often ideal, with a good balance of open services and manageable crowds on streets and buses.
Summer
High season brings busy cruise days and crowded harbourfront areas, plus heavier demand for day trips around the island.
Autumn
Early autumn keeps much of the summer feel but gradually calms, remaining attractive for city breaks without peak beach pressure.
Winter
Quieter and cheaper, with Palma functioning as a pleasant off-season city while some island beach infrastructure scales back.

Good to know about Palma de Mallorca

Why go

  • Offers a proper city break while still sitting within day-trip reach of Mallorca's coastal and mountain landscapes.
  • Feels more compact and historic than beach-focused resort towns, with most sights clustered around the old harbourfront.
  • Works as a single-base short trip rather than needing multiple hotel changes around the island.

Worth knowing

  • Cruise arrivals can quickly fill the compact historic centre and local buses, especially on days with multiple large ships docked.
  • Short stays based only in Palma mean you see little of the wider island unless you plan specific excursions.
  • Nearest beaches to the city are urban and practical rather than remote, so many visitors prefer to travel to other coasts for fuller beach days.
