All Months
April through October offers the best weather, but each season has its perks and pitfalls.
April and May bring wildflowers to the Tramuntana mountains and pleasant 70°F temperatures. Hotels cost half of summer rates, but some beach clubs stay closed.
June through August is peak season for good reason. Temperatures hit 85°F, the Mediterranean warms to perfect swimming conditions, and every restaurant and bar is open. But expect crowds at major sights and book restaurants weeks ahead.
September and October might be ideal — still warm enough for swimming, fewer crowds, and the light turns golden for photography. Many locals say October offers the year's best weather.
Winter (November through March) sees temperatures drop to the 60s, but many restaurants close and ferry schedules reduce. Good for solo travelers seeking solitude, but families will find limited activities.
