High Season

Upon arrival in Palma de Mallorca during the high season, typically from June to August, visitors step into a city buzzing with activity under the Mediterranean sun. Average temperatures soar to around 30°C, creating perfect conditions for beach days and outdoor dining well into the evening. The city's atmosphere shifts to a lively, holiday pace, with streets and promenades filling with both locals and international visitors.

Palma embraces a vibrant outdoor lifestyle in summer. Cafes and restaurants extend their seating onto pavements, and the coastline truly comes alive. Evenings are dedicated to enjoying the cooler breezes, often with open-air concerts or cultural events taking place in public squares. The city maintains its authentic Mallorcan rhythm but with an energetic, festive overlay that defines its summer identity.

Low Season

From November to March, Palma transforms into a quieter, more authentic local experience. Daily temperatures average a mild 10-15°C, with occasional rain showers, making it ideal for exploring the historic centre without the summer crowds. The crisp air and cooler conditions offer a different perspective on the city's architecture and natural beauty.

During the low season, Palma’s cultural calendar highlights traditional Mallorcan life. The city celebrates local festivals, like Sant Sebastià in January, with street parades and bonfires, offering a deeper insight into local customs. This period encourages a slower pace, where exploring museums, art galleries, and enjoying cosy meals in local eateries become central to the experience. Palma reveals a more relaxed, residential character, far removed from the summer's bustling energy.
