1. Crystal-clear waters await at local beaches and secluded coves

With the first days of spring comes the gentle warmth that hints the approach of summer. The sun invites you to sunbathe, feel the sand beneath your feet and dive into waters that are beginning to warm up (18-22°C in April!). The perfect plan? Discover the beaches and coves of Mallorca, still free of crowds, where the turquoise sea steals the show..

Suggestions from our local guides:

• Cala Llombards (southeast): White sand and crystal-clear waters, ideal for families.
• Es Trenc (south): With its unspoilt dunes, it resembles the Balearic Caribbean.
• Cala Deià (north-west): Small and picturesque, surrounded by cliffs. TIP: Arrive early! There are only 20 parking spaces.

Did you know that in May the water is usually already 20°C? Combine your day at the beach with a snorkelling tour to explore the seabed teeming with life 🐠

2. Step Back in Time on the Sóller Train

After a winter break, the Soller train returns to its route through the Mallorcan countryside every spring. This iconic historic train, with its vintage seats and hinged windows, is not just a means of transport: it is a bridge to the past that winds its way through orange groves in bloom, century-old tunnels and mountains covered with almond trees..

Why this route is so appealing?

• Scents that travel with you: The citrus aroma of the fields of Sóller wafts through the windows.
• Slow travel pace: At 30 km/h, the rattling of the train invites you to switch off and admire the Serra de Tramuntana (UNESCO World Heritage Site)..

3. Alfabia Gardens: A Botanical Oasis

Spring in Mallorca is all about the scents that awaken your senses, petals that enchant and greens that mesmerise. And no place encapsulates this spirit better than the Alfabia Gardens, a botanical paradise that blooms vigorously next to the Serra de Tramuntana mountains..

This centuries-old garden, linked to the Mallorcan nobility since the 13th century, combines Arabic, Renaissance and Romantic styles. But it is in spring when it is at its most beautiful. You can buy your ticket to the Alfabia Gardens online with us, saving money and avoiding the queues..

4. Hiking Trail through the Serra de Tramuntana Mountains

Spring is the perfect season for hiking in Mallorca: long days, fresh air (15-22°C) and trails carpeted with wildflowers (poppies, daisies, orchids). It is the ideal time to explore the Serra de Tramuntana without the oppressive heat of summer or the slippery paths of winter..

5. Experiencing Holy Week in Mallorca

Spring goes hand in hand with Holy Week: the smell of incense, the murmur of footsteps and processions parading through the streets. Major cities such as Palma, Pollença and Alcúdia organise solemn processions in which brotherhoods parade through the streets with religious floats, accompanied by drums and penitents. The Procession of the Holy Christ of the Blood in Palma, which takes place on Maundy Thursday, is one of the most emblematic..

Beyond the religious aspect, Holy Week in Mallorca is the perfect time to enjoy the local cuisine. Don’t miss out on the “robiols” and “crespells”, typical sweets of this season, or the traditional frito mallorquín (Mallorcan fried dish)..

6. Spring Picnic!

There is nothing more spring-like than taking advantage of the good weather and going out for a picnic. Spring is the ideal time for a picnic with Mallorcan products: from artisan sobrasada to panades, everything tastes better surrounded by centuries-old olive trees or facing the sea..

🧺 There is nothing more spring-like than having a picnic in one of these places we personally recommend:

• Parc de la Mar (Palma): Perfect for those who live in the city. Enjoy your meal with views of the Cathedral and traditional boats on the lake.
• S’Illot (La Victòria, Alcúdia): A coastal spot with shaded areas and views of the crystal-clear sea. Ideal for a leisurely meal accompanied by the sea breeze.
• Zona de Lluc: Surrounded by mountains and Mediterranean forest, this is the perfect spot for a picnic in the heart of nature after a hike.
• Cúber Reservoir Recreation Area: Located in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, with picnic tables and stunning views of the reservoir and mountains. An ideal place to combine food and hiking.

7. Palma Aquarium: Springtime plans with children

One of the best things to do with children in spring in Mallorca is to visit Palma Aquarium. Immerse yourself in the Big Blue (the deepest aquarium in Europe, home to sharks and manta rays), marvel at the garden of rescued turtles or explore the Caribbean coral reef, where tropical fish swim among colourful formations. An ideal plan for rainy days or for families looking to combine fun and environmental education.

Did you know that conservation workshops for children are organised here in spring? Take advantage of this opportunity to instil a love for the sea while you explore together. 🐢.

8. Wine Route through Binissalem

Spring is the perfect moment to explore the Binissalem wine region. The vineyards are waking up with fresh green shoots, almond trees are bursting into bloom around old stone estates, and local wineries are opening their doors for tastings. It’s a mix of wine, Mediterranean scenery, and tradition, with charming towns like Santa María, Consell, and Binissalem to wander through – and of course, the star of it all, the native mantonegro grape.

How to experience this yourself:

• Bike ride: Cycle along the Binissalem-Biniagual route (8 km round trip), a flat route through vineyards and olive groves. Upon reaching Biniagual (a medieval hamlet of 12 houses), rest under its tree-lined square and take a stroll through this beautiful place.
• Wine tasting among the vines: Many wineries offer outdoor tastings on terraces overlooking the Serra de Tramuntana mountains.

9. Boat Trip along the North Coast

Enjoying a boat trip in Mallorca in spring is a unique experience: the sea is calm, the coves are still untouched by tourists and the sun shines without the summer heat. A boat trip along the North Coast offers views of vertiginous cliffs, such as those at Cape Formentor, and stops in turquoise waters where the silence is only broken by the splash of jumping off the boat..

Types of excursions that you will fall in love with, which you can discover in the banner above:

• Classic Sail boat: For small groups, with stops at secluded coves.
• Catamaran trip around Alcudia Bay: explore one of the most beautiful bays in the Mediterranean on a catamaran with snorkelling, paddle surfing and food.
• Dolphin watching: a unique and special experience that you will remember for a lifetime.

10. Exploring Charming Villages: Valldemossa & Deià

Spring in Mallorca isn’t complete without wandering through cobbled streets, balconies filled with geraniums and squares where time seems to have stood still. Valldemossa and Deià, two gems of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, are the perfect end to a spring getaway.

Why are they so captivating?

• Valldemossa: Its Royal Charterhouse (a 14th-century monastery) has gardens where orange blossoms perfume the air. Don’t miss the handmade biscuits made by the Carthusian nuns, using local almonds.
• Deià: This village of stone cottages was a refuge for artists such as Robert Graves. In spring, its paths to Cala Deià are covered with wild daisies.
