In summer, Mallorca turns into a paradise. The warm weather, the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters, local festivals, open-air terraces until dawn, and postcard-worthy landscapes make the island an irresistible destination.
What’s more, it combines nature, culture, gastronomy, and wellness like few places can. You can spend the morning sailing through hidden coves, the afternoon exploring art galleries in Palma, and the evening dining under the stars with traditional Mallorcan products. The result? An unforgettable experience.
If you’re wondering what things to do in Mallorca in summer, here are some must-sees that should definitely be on your itinerary:
The island’s capital is a gem that deserves to be explored at a leisurely pace. Stroll through its historic centre, visit the majestic La Seu Cathedral, get lost in the Santa Catalina district, and enjoy a coffee by the harbour. Art, architecture, and a bohemian atmosphere blend harmoniously in this Mediterranean city full of history.
Mallorcan cuisine is a true delight for the senses. In summer, fresh seasonal products take centre stage: figs, almonds, tomatoes, local fish, and extra virgin olive oil. Try a freshly baked ensaïmada in the morning, enjoy a pa amb oli at noon, and treat yourself to a gourmet dinner with native ingredients in the evening.
Many traditional and contemporary restaurants rank among the best in the Mediterranean. We invite you to discover our fine-dining restaurant in Mallorca.
Mallorca's beaches are undoubtedly one of its top attractions. From hidden turquoise coves to wide beaches with full amenities, there’s something for everyone. Must-visits include Cala Varques, Es Trenc, Cala Deià, and Playa de Muro. In summer, the sea invites you to swim, snorkel, paddle surf, or simply relax on the sand.
Mallorca is also about culture. In Palma, you’ll find the Es Baluard Museum, featuring an excellent collection of modern and contemporary art, and the Pilar i Joan Miró Foundation, home to works created on the island by the Catalan artist.
You can also explore small ethnological museums in inland villages that tell the rural story of the island — perfect for a unique getaway.
After a day at the beach or exploring cultural spots, there's nothing like returning to a charming hotel in Mallorca that feels almost like home.
And speaking of exclusive experiences, the Son Xotano hotel is a true gem.
