Top things to do in Mallorca in March

March is one of the best months to enjoy active and outdoor experiences in Mallorca. With longer days, milder temperatures and more attractions opening again, the island feels lively but still far from crowded.

Below is a selection of things that work especially well in Mallorca in March, based on seasonal conditions and local experience.

Palma in march: city exploration

Exploring Palma de Mallorca in March is comfortable and enjoyable. The city is active, most hotels and restaurants are open, and sightseeing can be done without the summer crowds.

Walking through the old town, visiting the Santa Maria Cathedral, discovering museums or enjoying cafés and terraces becomes more appealing as spring approaches. March is ideal for travellers interested in culture, architecture and city life.

Outdoor and Hiking Activities in March

March is an ideal month for walking and hiking in Mallorca, as the climate is mild and pleasant. Some popular routes include the walk to the top of Puig de Galatzó, the Camí de s’Arxiduc in the Sierra de Tramuntana and the coastal path from Cala Deià to Cala Llucalcari.

On this occasion we propose a walk to the top of the Puig de Galileu from Son Massip, though if you click on the link above, you will find many great hikes.

Almond Blossom (Early March)

In early March, almond trees may still be in bloom, depending on the year and weather conditions. While February is usually the peak month, some areas of the island continue to display white and pale pink blossoms into March.

Rural areas, valleys and parts of the Tramuntana are good places to enjoy this natural spectacle, often combined with scenic drives or countryside walks.

Visit Mallorca’s Caves

March is a great month to explore Mallorca’s caves, as all major caves are open and visitor numbers remain manageable.

• Campanet Caves: open every day. With our online tickets you can visit at your leisure following an itinerary inside the caves. The visits are made in very small groups and follow a 600m walking route inside. You will see different rooms or “chambers” with evocative names such as: Romantic Chamber, Palm Tree Chamber, or Chapel of the Virgin Mary, in which you will see the impressive landscape of stalactites and stalagmites.
• Hams Caves: open from Wednesday to Sunday. They are an excellent alternative to the Cuevas del Drach in Porto Cristo. The Caves of Hams visit is divided into different parts, starting with a brand new light projection inside one of the caves, continuing with a tour around these large and impressive caves and then the grand finale is a show of music by the Venice Lake.

Things to Do with Kids in March

Something else that is open in March is Mallorca’s newest theme park: Dinosaurland. This is an amazing park to visit if you have children (and even if you do not) and want to have fun and learn at the same time. Marvel as you walk around this openair museum with life-size dinosaurs that even move and make sounds!

Dinosaurland is actually right next to the Caves of Hams that we have just mentioned above, so you could make a whole day of it and visit the caves, the Dinosaurland and have a Dino Burger for lunch at the new restaurant in between the two attractions. What more can you ask for?! You can get your combined ticket for both attractions here: Dinosaurland and Caves of Hams Ticket.

March is also a good month for outdoor family plans, such as easy walks, village visits and spending time outdoors without extreme heat.

Day Trips and Scenic Routes

With good road conditions and fewer restrictions, March is perfect for day trips around the island. Routes to mountain villages, coastal viewpoints and inland towns are especially enjoyable.
