THE SEASON AHEAD
Although the peak summer season in Mallorca is slowly drawing to a close, the weather still feels beautifully inviting. There is plenty of sunshine for lazy afternoons on the beach, and the sea remains perfect for swimming. Autumn is also a wonderful time to explore places such as Palma and Sóller, wandering through markets and pretty squares with fewer people. One of my favourite things to do at this time of year is to head up into the Tramuntana mountains. The gentler temperatures make hiking much more appealing - usually after coffee and a slice of freshly baked almond cake in one of the villages before setting off.
There are plenty more reasons to visit Mallorca as autumn progresses. Regional festivals celebrate different elements of the food and wine harvest, while the town of Inca hosts one of the island’s most important events. The Inca Fair takes place over several weeks in October and November, celebrating rural Mallorca’s cultural traditions, craftsmanship, and gastronomy. It culminates in Dijous Bo, or “Good Thursday”, when the town is completely taken over by markets, food stalls, music and dance performances.
From December onwards, Mallorca takes on a different atmosphere. Palma sparkles with festive lights and markets, and it’s a great venue for Christmas shopping. You can also use Palma as a base for day trips into the mountains, and for visits to the pretty towns of Deia and Sóller. Then it won’t be too long before spring is on the horizon. This is a lovely season to visit the island, and our luxury villas here do get booked up early. It’s therefore worth planning now to get your pick of the very best!

WHERE & WHEN
What are the popular areas for villa rentals in Mallorca?
Some of the best places to rent a luxury villa in Mallorca are around the beautiful coastal towns of Deià and Sóller in the northwest, in the peaceful enclaves around Pollença in the island’s northernmost tip, and in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains.
Some visitors to Mallorca wish to be within easy reach of the capital, Palma. You can balance easy access to Palma’s thriving foodie and cultural scene with a serene villa stay on the nearby coast, or in the tranquil hills to the north of Palma. Alternatively, if you are seeking complete coastal seclusion, we have sea view villas on the unspoiled Costa de Canyamel in the northeast.
What is the best time to rent a villa in Mallorca?
With its mild winters and blissfully long summers, Mallorca is the perfect year-round destination. If you have no restrictions on when you can travel, we highly recommend visiting in the spring and early summer (April to June). This will allow you to experience the island’s enchanting natural beauty, pristine coves, and attractive towns without the peak season crowds of July and August. Temperatures usually range between 20C – 24C (68 – 75F) in spring, climbing even higher in June, so this is a glorious time to be outside.
Autumn in Mallorca (September and October) is another superb time to visit. The sea waters are inviting for swimming, the island still enjoys warm days (typically 25C / 77F in September), and the feel around the island is far more relaxed as the summer crowds start to ebb away.
