Reasons to visit Mallorca this spring

More Accessible Hotels

First things first, you’ll need to decide what kind of holiday you're seeking, as there are several options to consider. Are you in the mood for a city break in Palma? A peaceful retreat in the countryside? Or maybe you're searching for the perfect base for a cycling getaway?

Well, the good news is that Mallorca has everything you are looking for. Springtime is also when the seasonal hotels begin to open after a short winter, so you can make the most of the early-season. This means you can experience some of the island’s most sought-after hotels—typically fully booked during the height of summer—at more attractive price tag. Here are a few of our top picks.

The modern escape
How does a luxurious five-star hotel experience at the foot of the Serra de Llevant and within close proximity to the picturesque town of Artá sound? Carrossa Hotel Spa Villas opens on 1st March. This is the kind of place where, once you turn up, you might not want to leave thanks to its first class facilities, including a state-of-the-art spa, gourmet restaurants and a sophisticated bar. You can use this place to rest and rehabilitate or, if you’re after an active holiday, there’s a whole range of activities on your doorstep including golfing, hiking and cycling.

The rural retreat
A manor house dating back to 1520, Casa Font i Roig oozes traditional Mallorcan charm. Opening this Spring, this hotel is the perfect hideaway in one of the most inconspicuous locations on the island. Each room has its own unique character and, whilst the attention to detail is second to none, there’s a relaxed vibe throughout the place. We love the epic views from the spa over the flat plains of Mallorca’s rural countryside. The owners are more than accommodating so, if you want to try your hand at some golf or fancy getting out on a bike, then this can be arranged for you.

The designer townhouse
Meem Townhouse is a beautifully restored 19th-century townhouse tucked down a pretty side street in the picture-postcard town of Sóller. A careful blend of historical architecture with contemporary fixtures and fittings, this hotel is a work of art. Being relatively small, it’s got a home-away-from-home vibe with accentuated by the exceedingly comfortable furnishings. Sóller is a charismatic town, with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants within easy reach of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, making it a popular base for hikers and cyclists at this time of year.

The city palace
A 19th-century palace in the heart of the capital city of Palma, the four-star AH Art Hotel Palma is our top pick for a city break this spring. The brainchild of a renowned antiques dealer, this hotel is drenched in fine art, so will be appreciated most by art fanatics. It’s situated just off the Rambla and has everything on its doorstep, including top designer and high-street shopping, galleries, cafes and museums. Palma is a prime destination for a long weekend due to its location just a short 10-minute taxi ride away from the airport.

The coastal retreat
Perched on a dramatic cliffside overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean, the Jumeirah Mallorca is our top pick for a luxurious spring escape on Mallorca's breath-taking coastline. This hotel invites guests to a season of immersive experiences that embrace island culture, well-being, and adventure. Whether embarking on thrilling excursions through the dramatic Tramuntana Mountains or indulging in curated wellness journeys featuring a new skincare brand, this clifftop retreat offers an exceptional gateway to Mallorca’s stunning natural beauty and rich heritage.

Outdoor Activities

Cycling is massive at this time of year in Mallorca. Top international cycling teams choose to train here, so you may well spot some famous faces including the likes of Bradley Wiggins. Gruelling inclines like Sa Calobra to more leisurely cycle rides from Palma to Es Arenal bring thousands of visitors to the island each year. So, if you are looking at booking a cycling holiday, then Mallorca should be on your list.

Hiking is another popular activity at this time of year and, again, there are various routes on offer. From coastal stretches through to rugged mountain landscapes, there is literally something for everyone. If you are doing some research about hiking in Mallorca, then the GR221 Dry Stone Route should come up high on your to-do list. The beauty of it is that it can be completed in stages, so you can opt to do as much or little of it as you like.

Opening of beach clubs

Spring in Mallorca marks the eagerly awaited reopening of the island’s iconic beach clubs, signalling the start of a vibrant new season. As the temperatures rise and the days grow longer, these stylish seaside venues come to life, offering sun-drenched lounging, refreshing cocktails, and world-class dining with stunning Mediterranean views. Whether you're looking for a laid-back atmosphere with chilled-out beats or a lively hotspot with DJ sets and sunset parties, Mallorca’s beach clubs provide the perfect setting to embrace the island’s coastal charm.

Boat Trips

You can even venture out onto the water during springtime, though you might prefer to stay above board, as the sea still carries a refreshing chill at this time of year. However, this season offers a unique advantage—fewer boats on the water mean you’ll have an easier time securing a prime anchorage in some of Mallorca’s most coveted spots. Whether you're sailing along the dramatic coastline, discovering secluded coves, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the open sea, spring provides a more peaceful and exclusive experience before the summer crowds arrive
