All Your Questions answered: The Latest Travel Advice To Mallorca

by Leigh Morgan | May 10, 2021 | Holiday Homes , Morgan and Morgan , Property Finding

International Travel from the UK from the 17th May 2021.

Find out everything you need to know below, international leisure travel from england will be permitted to resume on may 17 with destinations graded using a traffic-light system of red, amber and green. on friday 7th may the government published the first “green list” of those deemed safe enough for people to visit and return to the uk without having to quarantine or self-isolate. the rules differ in the devolved nations with updates from them due to follow..

What countries are on the green list?

Twelve countries and territories feature on the UK’s green list. These are: Australia, New Zealand, Brunei, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Tristan da Cunha, St Helena, Ascension, the Falkland Islands, Portugal, Singapore, Israel and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

How will the system work?

While passengers returning from green-listed territories will not be required to quarantine, they will need to take a PCR test on or before day two of their arrival in the UK. Those from amber destinations must self-isolate for ten days, and take PCR tests on days two and eight; they can end self-isolation early under the “Test to Release” scheme, which requires an additional PCR test on day five.

Mallorca is on the Amber List am I allowed to travel from the UK?

Although the FCO advice against all but essential travel you are still permitted to travel. On your return you must self-isolate for 10 days, and take PCR tests on days two and eight; they can end self-isolation early under the “Test to Release” scheme, which requires an additional PCR test on day five.

How often will it be reviewed?

Ministers will review the lists every three weeks, and there will be three more formal assessments in which the thresholds for green, amber and red will be scrutinised; these will take place on June 28, as well as no later than July 31 and October 1.

What are the Spanish restrictions for UK residents?

Entry restrictions and requirements continue to apply for travel to Spain and only those who are legally resident or who are travelling for essential reasons will be allowed to enter. Entry for tourism purposes is not currently permitted. This is due to end 31st May 2021.

Do you need a test on return to the UK? Yes. Arrivals must present a negative test taken no more than three days before entering the UK. This can be a PCR, loop-mediated amplification (lamp) or lateral-flow test, although it’s your responsibility to ensure that it meets the minimum standards for sensitivity, specificity and viral-load details. Details can be found at gov.uk .

The good news is the price of the lateral flow test in Mallorca are now only 30 Euros and your Concierge can arrange for the tests to be done directly at the villa for you and your family.

When will Mallorca go Green?

By June 28 it is hoped that all of Europe will be on the green list. By mid-July, new variants permitting, much of the western world will be open for quarantine-free travel. Remember it’s a two-way street, though.

Is there anything else I need to check before I travel?

Your passport! In 2020 three million fewer people renewed their passports than in a usual year, and millions more of the documents are said to have now expired. The result is a backlog with ten million people needing to renew their travel document.

The Passport Office has warned that this could mean a processing time of up to ten weeks, instead of the standard three. It has said it will be sending text messages to people whose passports are nearing expiration to let them know to allow more time when they renew. Expiration of travel documents is not a valid reason to secure a refund of holiday costs.

Can I get insurance to cover me for Covid-19?

Yes, but beware of traps and exclusions. While many providers now offer some form of Covid-19 cancellation cover, very few will cover you if you test positive before departure and have to self-isolate. Look for a comprehensive policy with coronavirus medical cover and coronavirus cancellation cover, along with scheduled airline failure cover. Make sure to take out the policy at the time of booking, not departure. Which.co.uk has a comprehensive guide to Covid-19 travel insurance policies.

How does Brexit affect the rules?

The most significant change is that your passport must now have at least six months’ validity for you to enter Europe. You should also check the expiry date of your European Health Insurance Card. If it is no longer valid you should apply for the new Global Health Insurance Card (Ghic), which will allow access to free or subsidised healthcare in the EU. The card is not valid in Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein. You can apply for the Ghic on the NHS website. It is free — watch out for bogus websites charging people for the service.

What are the restrictions in Mallorca at the moment?

Currently the Government have just opened up from today the restaurants all day up to 10,30pm with a curfew imposed from 11pm to 6am. Masks are to be worn in public places, although when sat at table in restaurants they are removed. On the beaches and doing sports masks are not worn. We have read on social media that police are giving spot fines for non compliance but certainly our own experience the local police in Pollenca seem to very relaxed.

Are Morgan Morgan offering flexible terms with bookings?

We will continue to apply our Book with Confidence flexible terms for the foreseeable future, until we are confident that travel restrictions will be a thing of the past – this means that our flexible terms apply to 2022 bookings.

For new bookings we require 10% deposit payment to secure the dates.

We will check in with you 8 weeks before your departure (ie when your balance payment is due) if travel is likely to be impossible, due to Covid, for the dates you have booked. At this point you can choose to refund your deposit or transfer your booking to a later date in 2021 or 2022.

Once full balance is paid, we will check in with you again 7 days before your check-in date if there is still a travel ban* in place. At this stage we will offer you the choice of either moving your booking to a future date for the full value of your booking, which you can put towards a future booking.

*Official travel restrictions preventing travel (Travel ban) are;

1. The introduction of travel restrictions by regional or national governments, either in the country of origin of the lead booker or in the region/country where your villa is located. This includes official advice against non-essential travel and the imposition of quarantine measures in the country where your villa is located; 2. If official travel restrictions preventing travel or quarantine measures will be introduced to/in the region/country where your villa is located; 3. If your flights/transport are cancelled for COVID-19 related reasons and there is no alternative to reach your destination.

Coronavirus FAQs

We know you may still have questions and so to help provide some reassurance we have compiled the following list of frequently asked questions. as this is an evolving situation, please keep in mind that answers may change and we will update them as soon as it possible and/or necessary. for further reference you will find a list of useful links at the bottom of the page..

How are you dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic as a company? :

This is an unprecedented and exceptional circumstance and we are all as a team with our partners, suppliers, villa owners and guests working to provide the best options for all parties.

We continue to monitor the situation closely and ensure that we are up to date with official information and industry standards. We also thank our guests for flexibility and patience whilst we ensure that we are able to provide the best solutions based on the fact.

What if I just want to cancel my booking, rather than reschedule it?

In this situation, we would recommend you first contact your travel insurance provider. Cover will depend on your policy. Please check your policy documents and contact your insurance provider directly should you have any doubts. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer refunds for Coronavirus-related cancellations, and our normal cancellation charges (shown below) will apply.

We advise that you check and follow your government’s official travel guidelines including any specific precautions.

Our properties are available for rent all year round and Mallorca offers beautiful all year round, including winter.

Our flights have been cancelled. What should I do?

If your airline cancels your flight, you might be entitled to a full refund. Just as one airline cancels a flight it does not mean travel is restricted and so we suggest you check for alternative flights with other airlines.

What are you doing to prepare your villas for Coronavirus prevention?

We are following all the recommendations and best practice guidelines issued by governments, health authorities and international agencies, and we are taking all possible precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of our guests.

How to get to Mallorca

Discover the top ways to get to Mallorca

The island of Mallorca lies in the Mediterranean, off the eastern coast of Spain near Valencia and between the islands of Ibiza and Menorca. It's very well connected to the continent thanks to its international airport and regular ferry services.

Easiest way to get to Mallorca

Flying is almost certainly the quickest and most convenient method of travel to the island of Mallorca. There's a wide choice of airlines which offer flights at competitive prices. Have a look at our Flight Finder to help your planning. As always, prices are at a premium during the school holidays and at weekends.

Flying to Mallorca

Palma airport , also known as Son Sant Joan Airport, is situated 8 kilometres east of Palma. It's a large international airport which serves the island and is the third largest airport in Spain after Madrid and Barcelona. During the summer months, this is one of the busiest airports in Europe and it's well equipped for the millions of tourists that travel through it each year. The airport is also well-connected thanks to excellent bus services running to Palma and other destinations around the island.

Some international flights in and out of the island are seasonal and only operate between May and October, but more and more airlines are running throughout the year. Mallorca is fast becoming an 'all year round' destination and international routes are starting to become more frequent during the winter months particularly to major airports in the UK, Germany and Scandinavia. Domestic travel to mainland Spain is also available all year round for destinations such as Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Ibiza, Menorca and Seville.

There are plenty of taxis available at Mallorca airport. To ensure the taxi is legal, you must board it at the designated taxi rank outside the airport. There is a €2.90 airport surcharge and a €13 minimum fee for taxi services to and from the airport.

Car hire is a widely available option at the airport, allowing you to drive directly to your accommodation and to have more flexibility once on the island. Be advised that there can be queues at the rental counters at peak times, so we recommend you book your car hire in advance. Alternatively, there are car hire offices outside the airport connected to the terminal via free shuttle services offered by the rental companies, so hiring your car from them can be a cost and time effective solution.

For a luxury experience, you can book helicopter transfers from Mallorca international airport to your hotel, massively cutting down on travel time.

You can also take public buses from the airport straight to Playa de Palma as well as Palma town centre and other resorts, from where you can get another bus to other towns and resorts on the island ( read more about buses to and from Palma airport below ).

Getting from the airport to Mallorca

Airport transfers or shuttle services are a convenient option for onward travel to your destination. Companies generally offer two types of service private and shared transfers.

Private transfers are exclusively for you - once you arrive at the airport they will take you directly to your accommodation. Some hotels offer a private airport pick-up service, so don't forget to enquire about this directly before you travel.

Shared transfers are usually more cost-effective, especially for individuals and couples, the trade-off being you may need to wait for other passengers and the possibility of being dropped-off at a more central location.

You should always book transfers in advance.

Buses to Mallorca

Public transport from Mallorca airport is available via regular bus lines that connect the airport with Palma and, from May to October, Cala d'Or, Portopetro, Cala Millor, S'Illot, Cala Bona, Playa d'Alcùdia, Playa de Muro, Can Picafort, Santa Ponça and Magaluf. One-way tickets cost €5 and you can find the bus at the end of the travelators (flat escalators) outside the airport.

Line 1 connects the airport with the city's main points of tourist interest, including Plaça d'Espanya, Santa Catalina neighbourhood, Palma's old town, its seafront promenade, marina and port. It runs every 15 minutes, from 05:30 to 02:10 May to October and from 05:30 to 01:00 November to April. Line 21 links the airport to several popular hotels along Palma beach. It runs every 30 minutes, from 07:00 to 01:00 May to October and from 07:00 to 21:30 November to April.

To continue your journey to other resorts on the island using public transport, you have to take line 1 from the airport to Plaça d'Espanya. There sits Palma's bus station (Estació Intermodal) with services to Andratx, Magaluf, Palmanova, Soller, Manacor, Inca, Muro, Alcudia, Pollença, Campos and many other towns and resorts throughout the island.

The new five bus lines connecting the airport with the most popular beach resorts on the island will run from May until October 2017, regularly every 60 or 90 minutes.

However, with taxis taking only around 20 minutes to reach the centre of Palma and costing around 10€ to 20€, we definitely recommend you consider this option to reach the city from the airport.

Train to Mallorca

Taking the train and then a ferry or a flight to Mallorca can be a lengthy and time-consuming journey but if you are determined to do it then where there's a will, there's a way!

Once on the island, inland railway services can be quite useful to reach your resort from Palma town centre. Mallorca's train line links Palma and Inca via Marratxí, Santa María, Alaró, Binissalem and Lloseta (T1), with diversions to Sa Pobla via Muro (T2), and Manacor via Sineu and Petra (T3). Tickets cost from €1.60 to €4.10 for a single and from €3.20 to €8.20 for a return, depending on the journey. Trains depart from the same station as regional buses, the 'Estació Intermodal' in Plaça d'Espanya.

The island also boasts a vintage train that links Palma with Sóller and Port de Sóller. Mainly a tourist train, it can be used to reach these resorts from the main city.

Driving to Mallorca

For a little more flexibility getting around once you are here, then having your own car would be an option. Being able to drive yourself around the area is far more comfortable and convenient, allowing you to take day trips and visit places that are off the beaten track. Nevertheless, roads in Mallorca can sometimes be narrow and rocky, and with car hire in Spain being fairly cheap, this is a good choice when visiting the island. Taxis are also very convenient and available at reasonable prices in Mallorca. These two options are probably the most cost-effective ways for travelling around the island without having to bring your own car.

If you choose to bring your own car to Mallorca, you will have at least one ferry crossing to get to the island, and two if you are planning on driving from the UK. When driving through Spain, you will need to carry a high visibility vest and a warning triangle at all times. There's a 120km/h limit on motorways (to use many of them you will have to pay tolls), 90km/h on normal roads and a maximum of 50km/h in populated areas.

Coach to Mallorca

There are a number of companies that offer long-distance coach services throughout Europe. In order to get to Mallorca, you will have to travel by coach to the nearest port offering a ferry service, Barcelona, Valencia or Dénia. The coach will stop at the main bus station, and then you will have to find your way to the port either via public buses or a taxi, so we definitely recommend you take into consideration flying to the island.

The journey time is longer (nearly 24 hours to travel between Paris and Mallorca via Barcelona), but the trade-off is that you don't have the usual airport hassle of checking in luggage and hanging around in the departures lounge waiting for your flight to board, and you'll get to meet new friends along the way. It's also a bit gentler on the pocket. Some of the main European coach companies include Eurolines and Ouibus , and many routes will run year round.

Ferries to Mallorca

Car, coach or train journeys to Mallorca will probably involve a ferry to the island. The principal ferry companies operating in Mallorca are Baleària , Trasmediterranea and Corsica Ferries . The main Spanish departure points are Barcelona (7.5 hours sailing time), Valencia (8 hours sailing time), Dénia - near Alicante - (8 hours sailing time), and the neighbouring Balearic islands of Ibiza (4 hours sailing time) and Menorca (1.5 hours sailing time). There are also express services that cut down journey time. Corsica Ferries travels from Toulon, in southern France near Marseille, to Port d'Alcudia in around 10 hours.

Bringing your skis, snowboard or bike to Mallorca

Airlines, trains and transfer companies are all well-versed in catering for customers who travel with their own sports equipment (bikes/golf clubs, etc.), but it's well worth checking the details in advance. Each company will have their own individual policy terms and conditions depending on the type of sporting equipment you are transporting. Here's a snapshot of the different transport options and a guide to their restrictions:

Some airlines charge for taking equipment, and some don’t, and this can also apply to bikes, golf clubs, parachutes, mountaineering equipment - so check before you book. Make sure you pack your gear well, as it's not unusual for there to be a few bumps and bruises along the way if you don't! The same applies for your bike, whether that be a mountain bike, road bike or touring bike... pack it well and ensure it falls within the packaging guidelines specified by the carrier. For more information see our Cycling and Mountain Biking guides.

Airport transfer companies need to know exactly what you’re bringing so that they can ensure having sufficient capacity for bikes/golf clubs etc. An 8-seater minibus is much more cramped if all 8 of you turn up with bikes without having forewarned the driver!

I would recommend visiting the Travel Safe Spain website for an immediate overview with regards to travel rules entering and leaving Mallorca from your country of origin.

Travellers resident in the EU can enter with either a Covid Vaccination Certificate or an antigen test taken 24 hours before travel.

Don’t forget to cross reference these with your own Government website.

TRAVEL RULES TO MALLORCA (from the UK): Update 7 April 2022

After huge confusion of the new rules coming into Mallorca from the UK (and third countries), this is what you need to know. Little has actually changed, so:

British travellers arriving into Spain from the UK and other “third countries” (such as the USA and Canada) may enter under the following rules:

Vaccinated Travellers aged 12 and over: Who are fully vaccinated (have received two jabs in the past 14 days) follow these rules:

Vaccination certificate Take proof of an EU Digital Covid Vaccination Certificate or equivalent– digital or printed. Find out if your certificate is included here . You can also check the validity of your certificate here .
For adults aged 18+, if more than 270 days have passed since the date of the last jab, then a booster vaccination is required before entering Spain. There is no expiry date on the booster.
As of 30th March 2022 , children are exempt from getting a booster, and Covid-19 vaccination certificates will be accepted on entry to Spain even if they are older than 270 days old.
Children aged 11 years and under are exempt from carrying a Covid-19 vaccine certificate and do not need to take a test.
A Spanish Health QR code is no longer required for entry if you are fully vaccinated, however, this news is yet to filter down to some airlines.
If you want a stress free journey, fill one a Spanish Health QR code here (or download the apps – links to the apps at the end of the article) and download the QR code (to either your mobile or print).
Non-vaccinated travellers from the UK (and other Third Countries) are unable to travel to Mallorca unless they they are in this situation:
Have a Recovery Certificate : They must be issued by an official testing service at least 11 days after the first positive NAAT or rapid antigen detection test will be accepted as valid.
The recovery certificate will be valid for 180 days after the date of the first positive diagnostic test result.
Residents are exempt from this rule but you will need proof of a negative antigen test 24 hours before arrival to Mallorca and proof of residency – eg. a TIE resident’s card. There are a few other exceptions related to travelling or visiting family. Please consult the TravelSafeSpain website .

Complete the Spanish Health form here (or download the apps – links to the apps at the end of the article) and download the QR code (to either your mobile or print).

ANNOUNCED ON 11 FEBRUARY 2022 in the BOE . Children aged 12 and over and under 18 travelling from the UK who are unvaccinated will be allowed entry to Spain on holiday with a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of travel.

There is also a new lane procedure on landing at Palma aiport depending on vaccination status reported on the Spanish Health website . I´ll report back here if this currently applies when I travel back through the airport in the next two weeks.

Don’t forget you can support my channel for free by booking your Mallorca ticket to attractions and experiences here . I will receive a small commission on each booking.

All rules travelling to the UK will END from 4am 18th March 2022 in England. This means the passenger locator form will be scrapped. And there will be no testing requirements regardless of vaccination status.

Please always check official sources before you travel (see links below).

This is the first step towards friction-less travel and hopefully Spain will also see the end to UK travel restrictions. However, this rule currently applies to arrivals back to the UK. Please take note of the current entry restrictions for UK travellers coming into Mallorca (see above).

If you suspect you have Covid and want to get tested you can now buy an antigen (LFT) at the pharmacies for around 6 euros.
If you would like to get tested in a testing centre, an antigen test should cost no more than 30€ and PCR tests no more than 75€.
Covid testing centres are open will be in hospitals such Clinica Juaneda or Quirionsalud.
A list of test centres can be found here .
If you’re travelling out of season bear in mind that many of the resort testing centres will be closed for the winter.
The easiest testing centre to reach if you’re in Palma is Clinica Rotger on La Rambla, just 5 minutes walk from Plaza España.

Please note, from the 1 November 2021, holders of the NHS Covid pass will need to refresh their digital travel passes if they have been previously downloaded or printed to ensure they’re updated.

From 1 February 2022, ensure the date of your last vaccination is less than 270 days ago, otherwise you will have to get the booster jab.

Whether you are vaccinated or not, don’t forget to check if you need a visa to enter the UK

You are responsible to check the rules before you travel. I would recommend getting your information from official sources.

Top 5 airlines serving from Heathrow to Majorca

Flight was late and crew were unwilling to help with information on connections. Call light had been on for 61 minutes without tesponse.

Everything was on time and efficient - expected from a Swiss crew. But the entertainment system was pretty bad - the display was old. Food was pretty bad and a couple of times they started serving drinks and then just skipped past my row (and likely several others)

Motivated and friendly crew on a somewhat dated but well kept plane. Hd seats in economy may section, so legroom was excellent.

Thank you to the cordial crew and good hydration throughout the flight, food was good too. Carry ons usually weight by themselves so it does reduce option for cold weather clothes that are heavy, so carryon weight is tight.

We were very impressed with Swiss Air. The service was exceptional. Unfortunately, we had a baby behind us that screamed for hours. , It was a nightmare, though I completely understand that it was not Swiss Airs fault.

We had to move to terminal 5 for the next part of our trip. Very un-organized and difficult.

Flight was delayed by well over an hour. Communication was terrible.

Fast check in, easy to navigate, crew were very good, the plane was delayed due to a previous flight and I found the cleanliness a little lacking but overall it was fine

I like the team but I don't like the food you provided with money. I want free food and free water.

I would not fly with BA again. Packed in like sardines, constant request to turn down air conditioning due to freezing cold for hours and the food was pretty to look at but tasteless!

An average flight experience. For our transatlantic portion, they provided a main meal and two snacks. However, the food was not very tasty and the drinks far too small and infrequent for such a long flight. The regrettable part of the flight was that the toilets were extremely filthy. I feel this is unacceptable.

Pros: they tried to accommodate bc they forgot my gluten free meal Negatives: The flight was freeeeeezing Iberia didn’t communicate my gluten free meal

Both flights were delayed. I lost my connection on the way back. No voucher or anything was givenx I had business ticket and no support to make it on time. I got to the door running 5 min after they close. Food really bad. Breakfast in business was worst that I what I remember in economy. Even though I have accumulated many miles, I don’t think Inwill keep buying Iberia. I am a frequent business traveler.

The food is really eco only level. Breakfast was shameful. I am considering to stop flying with Iberia. Business prices are as expensive as other companies with much better service.

Why no entertainment? Also water should be free, it is basic human right.

Late boarding. Delayed departure leading to rushed connection at Madrid Barajas. Not necessarily Iberia's fault but delay loading cargo didn't help.

The trip itself was good. I have given only good as rating, because my first flight has been cancelled by a different airline and that caused disruption in my trip. I spent over ten hours in Luton airport and that caused me high tiredness, sickness, because of the very early initial trip. easyJet staff has been professional and friendly.

Very pleasant crew, working hard on a full plane. Delay by a broken seat. However crew made back 60% of the delay.

Delayed and then further delayed with no announcement made so that all the passengers (who were standing in the jetty) could hear. We stood there for well over 20 minutes. We were further delayed through weather but no one explained that to us until the pilot made an announcement when finally on board

easyJet need to ensure that whether pre-booking seats or not children aren’t split from their parents the crew spent the majority of boarding asking passengers to move to accommodate two families. Surely the system identifies minors on a booking !!!!! It was all very frustrating to watch and caused delays which I’m sure cost easyJet more in the long run rather that automatically allocating families with minors seats together automatically.

As you would expect from a budget airline Left and arrived on time, no frills, not even a glass of water offered But you get what you pay for

I had an emergency escape seat. The attendant gave the extrA briefing to my side of the aisle but didnt direct it at all to the other where my wife was sitting

Boarding great. Didn’t eat or drink so can not comment.

Total jobs worths over carry on bags, charged £96 extra for bags that were clearly hand luggage

3 hours delayed Don’t understand why when you have paid for ‘speedy boarding’ they call you forward to then make you stand fir another 20 minutes in a confined space before boarding the plane.

The pilot did everything possible to make up the 35 minute delay. His communications were honest, prompt and positive throughout.

Speakers were blaring. It's like being in a Moroccan market and you keep getting shouted at with what's for sale

What can you say Ryanair get you there,no frills Not so cheap anymore ..... but what is now days! Would use again as always. Good flight times for us.

3 hours delay, non comunicated until past the time of original boarding, no assistance, witnessed land crew shouting at a passenger

Very unpleasant staff, disgusting service, ignoring requests, refusal to help

Letting people wait outside for boarding in the rain and almost 0 degrees for a high temperature destination is very customer unfriendly

Late again rude staff at gate bullying passengers made us stand in the cold 3degrees for 40 mins before they let us board

The usual average Ryanair flight, but we landed 20 min before due time, which was very good.

Largas colas para el check-in, por seguridad, sin explicación, el equipaje de mano pequeño tuvo que pasar a bodega,

Enjoyed our flight with Ryanair to Arrecife. Flight boarded pretty much on time, crew were welcoming and very good. Generally good for a frequent low cost flight, Seats could however have been more comfortable.

Toulouse Alicante, excellent. But the 2 next fligth by Air Europa canceled. Bad bad

The flight was on time and the crew very professional. Everything went as expected and I will use BA again for this trip.

We paid to have overhead carry-on baggage. When we got to the gate we were told that our carry on bags would need to be checked and go below because the flight was full. Notably we were nowhere near the last people to board and about 30 other passengers also had to check their carry-on bags. Other than that the flight was fine.

Very bad plain although I paid A business class ticket I was stuck in a stiff fixed seat without any entertainment or Wi Fi for 5 hours I will never ever book a flight on British airline.

Self check in Kiosk did not recognize that I had prepaid for my luggage. This caused a 40 minute delay even though I had my British Airways email receipt for the prepaid luggage.

Crew were very friendly and helpful. They explained to us in detail the delay in our takeoff due to the storm that rolled in from Belfast and did their best to make up the time. Always great to fly BA!

Staff were very helpful. The free WiFi for messages was also very useful to keep in touch

Crew was more interested on looking at their phones than welcoming passengers during boarding.

The crew was very attentive and kept busy serving a variety of treats!

Terrible. Missed my flight to final destination because of delayed British Airways flight. Had to spend 12 hours in airport and $1500 for new plane tickets

The crew on board were all very pleasant and happy to help. The flight had the old business class seats. The departure board in the business lounge did not update and kept on saying ' gate open' but never said boarding. When I got nervous about the departure time and walked to the gate I was told off rudely for being late.

Mallorca Travel Guide

Mallorca is quite possibly the ultimate holiday island! Fantastic for families and with a welcoming, laid back vibe that encapsulates everything that’s great about Spain (and with a few surprises of its own) there’s loads to see, do and eat. Want to make sure you don’t miss out on any of the best stuff? We’ve put together this ultimate guide to help you get the very best from your holiday on the heart of the Balearic Islands .

Geographically, Mallorca consists of a fertile plain sandwiched between two mountain ranges: the spectacular Serra de Tramuntana to the north and the Serres de Llevant to the south. The lowlands are bookended by the Bay of Palma – home to the island’s historic capital city – and the Bay of Alcudia . Both are characterised by long sandy beaches and shallow, warm seas; all around them you’ll find great places for watersports and safe swimming. On rockier parts of the coast you’ll see adventure operators taking groups of thrill-seekers ‘coasteering’ – a mix of rock-climbing, abseiling, scrambling and cliff-jumping that offers a whole new way to enjoy Mallorca’s coastline.

Best time to visit Mallorca?

Summer temperatures are hot, averaging the high twenties with negligible rainfall in the lowlands – it’s the best and the most popular time for beach breaks and traditional family getaways. If you’re planning a holiday around land activities, it’s also worth considering the cooler spring or autumn months , which are ideal for exploring the island on foot or by bike. It’s a paradise for hikers and cyclists, with the heights of Serra de Tramuntana offering challenging ascents and spectacular views with some excellent timeshare options for those who plan on coming back in the future. If you sign a contract but unfortunately have to cancel then make sure you call Timeshare contract Cancellation services for some assistance .

Alcudia’s Old Town

Palma de Mallora: The capital of the Balearic Islands is lively, full of history and a great place to enjoy local bars and restaurants.
And in the city itself, Palma Cathedral (also known as La Seu ) is an architectural wonder that’s bound to impress all ages.
Almudaina Palace is also found in Palma – it’s a fairytale castle and residence of the Spanish royal family.
Alcudia’s Old Town on the island’s north side boasts a 14th Century wall and colourful markets on Tuesdays and Sundays throughout the year.

Mallorca travel: How to get there and around

Public transport: Thanks to decades of tourism, Mallorca is easy to get around, with a well-developed road and bus network, three train lines and a Metro service operating within Palma, if you like taking trains then consider checking out these Old West Trains . With so much to see, we highly recommend hiring a vehicle – check out our activities section for some original ideas on that front. If you prefer public transport, your first stop will be Palma’s Intermodal Station , reached by the 1 and 21 buses from the airport. From there, local EMT buses and Metro services will get you around the city, TIB (Transport de les Illes Balears) buses will take you to destinations further afield, and trains will take you to the towns of Inca, Pobla and Manacor.

By bike: Touring Mallorca by bike is a fantastic way to see the island (Bradley Wiggins is a big fan) and there are loads of places to hire cycles from – your luxury villas might even include them as part of your rental.

Taxis: There’s an abundance of taxi companies on Mallorca to help get you to where you need to go – though as with many destinations, it’s worth booking in advance (if possible) and agreeing on a price with the driver before heading out.

Hiring a car or other private transportation: If you’re staying inland or in one of the more remote coastal areas, hiring a car or a bus rental will probably be necessary. There are several local firms as well as multinational staples, but once you’ve got your own set of the wheels the entirety of the island is yours to explore! Companies like Europcar , Hertz and Avis all provide services direct from the airport.

Hidden Gems

The truly adventurous – or anyone after the quietest beaches they can find – should explore the northern coast. Here you’ll find fantastic spots only accessible on foot, such as Es Canyaret , a beach just outside the village of Llucalari that is renowned for its waterfall and refreshing mud pools; Port des Canonge , a secluded spot east of the ancient, terraced village of Banyalbufar ; and Coll Baix , a stunning, cliff-fringed bay with turquoise waters.
While you’re in the region, take time out to visit Deia , a small coastal village popular with the creative set. It has been attracting writers and musicians for decades, and when you see it you’ll understand why – it’s a charming jigsaw of traditional flat-roofed buildings and lush gardens, and also boasts a superb Michelin-starred restaurant in the shape of Es Racó d’Es Teix. For another food treat from northern Mallorca, track down fresh prawns from Port de Soller ; they’re exceptionally good, and 2015 saw the town launch a festival dedicated to them (held in early March).
Over on the other side of the island, enjoy an underground adventure at the jaw-dropping Caves del Drach . The tour winds past clear pools and intricate rock formations for just over a kilometre, leading you to Lake Martel, a 170 metre-long underground lake – your guide will take you on a boat ride across it, accompanied by live classical music. With good paths and lighting and a temperature of over 20C, you don’t need to be a hardened caver to enjoy it!
Make sure you take the breathtakingly beautiful tram journey from the town of Soller to the port! If you’re into your scenic drives, try going from Valdemossa to Sa Calobra (via the village of Deia), or visit and the charming town of Estellencs and hunt down its stunning hidden cala – don’t forget to bring a picnic!
One more thing – if you find yourself on the long road through the Tramuntana mountains that runs east to west, stop for lunch in Es Grau for some tasty treats and breath-taking views.

Did you know…?

Famed architect Gaudi was meant to design new changes to Palma Cathedral, but he dropped out after a spat with a contractor.
The English poet and novelist Robert Graves spent a large portion of his life on Mallorca – he eventually died there in 1985.
Es Tranc beach apparently loses about 25 tons of sand each year due to it being taken away by holidaymakers in their towels, bags and sandals.
The delicious local pastries known as Ensaimada are notoriously difficult to make off the island – it’s said that the sea air helps the dough to rise!

Mallorca makes a superb choice for a family holiday. It’s not too far away (so travelling with little ones isn’t too taxing) and you can enjoy the tourism infrastructure of the island while staying in the beautiful countryside in one of our luxurious villas in Mallorca . Better yet, there’s loads of things to do to keep everyone entertained and tons of soft, sandy beaches to while your days away.

Things to do in Mallorca

There are plenty of new ways to take on the Mallorcan landscape, like scuba diving adventures that’ll take you to places that’ll leave you wanting to hire an underwater photography professional. Jungeparc take you up into the treetops, using ziplines, ropes and bridges to navigate a pine forest.
Or you could take in the whole island with a guiding tour, enjoying everything from the heights of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains to a boat trip around the coast. No Frills Excursions are your go-to guys for a tour you’ll never forget.
Surprisingly, Mallorca has some fantastic golf courses – whatever level you’re at, a day or an afternoon on the Mallorcan links is the ideal tonic. You can find out more through our friends at where2golf.com .
And if you like heights but think Jungleparc sounds like a bit too much effort, you can appreciate Mallorca from above with a hot air balloon flight. We recommend Mallorca Balloons if you feel like taking to the sky.
One of the nicest tours of the island you can take is the perfect pairing of walking and wine – you’ll really feel like you’ve earned that drink! You can find out more about some great itineraries at Mallorca Hiking .

What to do in Mallorca with kids

There are loads of great museums and art galleries on Mallorca, and the local artists often feature their own work in smaller exhibitions. Something that’s bound to enrapture kids of any age is the Toy Museum in Palma, which features toys from all over the world.
There are some great water parks across all of the Balearics, and all of them make for an exciting family day out. Aqualand is worth a try if you’re heading to Mallorca!
There’s plenty of nature on the island kids will love to explore, with wild new creatures to find and see – try a nature walk and see where it takes you! If the kids love their animals, La Reserva is a private reserve full of beautiful beasts – and there’s even adventure activities too. Katmandu is a huge adventure playground chock full of rides and things to do, with the highlight being the unforgettable upside-down house.
Getting on your bike is a great way to see the island too – there’s loads of great trails suitable for all ages too. Nano Bicycles in Palma offer a cycling tour of the old town or bike rentals to suit you and your family.

Nothing here your cup of tea? There’s loads more suggestions over at our blog on the best family activities in Mallorca .

Best restaurants in Mallorca

By far the best vegetarian restaurant on the island is Bon Lloc , which serves great lunches in the day and meat-free haute cuisine in the evenings.
Mare Nostrum is the perfect combination of amazing food that comes at a reasonable price – you can find it in Sa Poblo towards the north of the island.
If you feel like introducing the kids to something a little bit different, Las Olas Bistro in Palma is family friendly and offers a neat take on tapas.
And if you are looking for traditional Mallorcan dishes with a twist, Santi Taura is the place to go! The restaurant is named after the young, ambitious chef, Santi Taura, that weekly creates new tasting menus for its diners. Fine dining at its best!
Flanigan has spent the best part of the last thirty years delighting the tastebuds of visitors and locals alike, specialising in fresh seafood and eclectic Mallorcan cuisine.

How to get to Mallorca: by plane and all ferry routes

Yo soy Mallorca > How to get to Mallorca: by plane and all ferry routes

Have you already decided that you want to travel to Mallorca and don’t know where to start organising your holiday ? In this article we tell you how to get to Mallorca , we detail all the options, both flights and ferry routes , and we try to answer any questions you may have.

The island of Mallorca is located in the Mediterranean Sea, facing the east coast of the Spanish mainland and between the islands of Menorca and Ibiza. As it is the main island of the Balearic Islands, it is very well connected to most Spanish and European cities, either by air or by sea.

Table of contents

How to get to Mallorca by plane

Traveling to Mallorca by plane is probably the fastest and most convenient way to get to the island, as Palma International Airport (PMI) is the third most important airport in Spain and one of the busiest in the Mediterranean.

The airport is open all year round, although the greatest concentration of flights takes place in the summer season, connecting the island with the main Spanish and European capitals .

The most important European cities are less than 3 hours away and Spanish cities such as Barcelona , Madrid and Valencia are approximately 1 hour away.

✈️ Do you think that traveling by plane is your best option? Use this search engine to find the best deals on flights to Mallorca.

Transport from Palma International Airport (PMI)

The airport of Son Sant Joan, as it is also known, is located just 8km far from the island’s capital, Palma , and within easy reach of tourist areas such as El Arenal or Playa de Palma , so if you are planning to go to these places, you will be able to do so using public transport.

However, urban transport connections to areas further away from the capital are not the best in terms of options and frequency, so our recommendation is to hire a car so that you can get to your hotel and enjoy the island at your leisure.

Once at the airport, you have different options to get to your accommodation:

Bus : when you get out the airport from the “Arrivals” area you will find the bus stop (blue buses) that connects for 5€ with the city ( line A1 of the EMT) and with the area of El Arenal ( line A2 of the EMT). During the summer months, the company Aerotib (yellow buses) also connects with other parts of the island (lines A11, A32, A42 and A51). You can check the information here .
Taxi : in the same area as “Arrivals” you will find the taxi rank. The approximate cost of the ride from the airport to Palma is €20. If you need to get to another part of the island, the price will be considerably higher, so check the price with the taxi driver before leaving.
Private transfer : if you prefer, you can book a shuttle from Mallorca Airport to your accommodation . This option is comfortable and fast, with no worries, picking you up at the airport and driving you to your hotel . It is an alternative to taxis and we would also recommend it if you are not planning to travel around the island or if you are considering using a different means of transport, such as a bicycle, to get around Mallorca later on.
Car rental : renting a car is the best option to make sure you don’t miss anything in Mallorca. Much against our better judgement, public transport on the island is poor, so if you want to discover all the secrets and beautiful corners of the island, as well as get away from the purely touristy areas, you’ll need to have your own car.

💡 Our advice is to compare car hire prices in this search engine , download our map of Mallorca and move around at your own pace… you will experience the most authentic Mallorca.

Traveling to Mallorca by boat

Although the most common way to reach the island is by plane, it is also possible to travel to Mallorca by boat . It is a very interesting alternative, especially for those who want to get to Mallorca with their own car.

In addition to this, traveling by ferry offers many other advantages:

There are no luggage limitations.
The comfort during the journey, not being forced to stay in your seat.
If you travel with your pets, they will be more comfortable and you can even visit them along the trip.
Overall, it is more environmentally friendly, as some shipping companies have less polluting alternatives.

Mallorca has two ports for passengers: the port of Palma, which is the main harbour, and the port of Alcudia. These connect with Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Menorca and Ibiza and, in high season, with Formentera and Toulon (France).

How to get by ferry to Mallorca from Barcelona, Valencia, Denia or Gandía

The port of Palma connects with the cities of Barcelona , Valencia , Denia and Gandía . The ferry journey takes approximately 6 to 8 hours, depending on the departure city and the type of vessel chosen.

How to get by ferry to Mallorca from Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera

If you are traveling to Mallorca from any of the other islands of the Balearic Islands, the ferry definitely seems to us to be the best option. Mahon is about 5 hours from the port of Palma, and Ciudadela is 1 hour far from the port of Alcudia.

It is also possible to travel from Ibiza , in less than 4 hours, and, during the summer, there is the option of begun your journey from the port of La Savina, in Formentera .

How to get by ferry to Mallorca from Toulon

During the summer season, Corsica Ferries offers three weekly connections between the ports of Alcudia and Toulon , with a short stopover in the port of Ciudadela (Menorca), so if you want to travel with your vehicle from France, you can take advantage of this option.

⛴ Do you think that traveling by ferry is your best option? We recommend you to book your tickets using this search engine .

Transport from the port of Palma

Palma’s port is located about 4km from the city centre. As well as if you arrive by plane, you have several options available to get to your destination:

On foot/by bicycle : the city centre is a 45-minute walk from the port of Palma, where you can take a stroll along the Paseo Marítimo or use the cycle lane.
Bus : on leaving the port, you will find the bus stop, which connects to the city for €3 (EMT line 1 ).
Taxi : the port has a taxi rank in front of the maritime station.
Shuttle service : if you prefer, you can also book a transfer from the port of Palma to your accommodation .
Car hire : if your accommodation is located outside the city and you intend to tour the island, our recommendation is to rent a car. You can use this comparator to find the best deals.

Transport from the port of Alcudia

Due to the high number of tourists during the summer season, Alcudia has several connections to other parts of the island that stop at the passenger port.

You can check the different routes and fares here or use any of the other options we have suggested (taxi, car rental or private transfer).

Getting aboard a cruise ship

The island of Mallorca has become one of the most popular stopovers for many cruise ships on their route around the Mediterranean. Even for some people, Palma is the base port, allowing them to extend their stay on the island before or after the crossing.

If you are planning to spend a few hours in the city, as your cruise ship is calling at the port, you should be aware that the tourist bus has a stop at the maritime station that will allow you to visit the city in several hours, or you can use line 1 of the EMT, which will take you to the city centre for 3€ and do some of the free tours around Palma or take a ride with the tourist boat .

Travel insurance to Mallorca

During a holiday there may be unwanted unforeseen events that require assistance: delays in flights or other means of transport, lost or damaged luggage , early returns for personal reasons and a host of other things that we don’t normally want to think about.

For this reason, we always recommend purchasing a travel insurance policy in order to travel with the best guarantees, even for trips nearby. In addition, Yo soy Mallorca readers can take advantage of an extra 5% discount on the usual price .

And you, do you prefer to travel to Mallorca by plane or ferry? Let us know!

13 top tips for travelling to mallorca.

Before I travelled to Mallorca, I honestly thought it was only a place for package tourists and badly sunburnt brits abroad!

Admittedly, this might be due to an opinion formed during my childhood holidays there in the early nineties, but nevertheless, I certainly wasn’t aware of how great Mallorca was for independent tourists.

I knew nothing of the wonderful resort-free beaches it offers, the great hiking and fantastic cycling you can enjoy there, nor the charming historic port towns and wonderful deserted forests and coves you can easily stumble upon.

Yes, I think it’s fair to say I was a Mallorca novice!

But after just 1 week there, I’ve very much become a Mallorca convert!

Because while there are a few resort spots you can give a wide berth to, the rest of the wonderful island is just begging to be discovered.

Drenched in Spanish sunshine from April to October, the island is not only easy and inexpensive to get to, but it’s also simple and affordable to adventure around once you’re there.

So if you’re thinking of heading to this Balearic beauty, then read on to learn all my top tips when it comes to travelling to Mallorca…

#1 How Best to Get to Mallorca?

So first up with the obvious question – how to get to Mallorca!

Confusingly also often referred to as Majorca (so don’t be confused it is the same place – just one uses the Catalan spelling and the other the anglicised one!), this island makes up one of the Balearic Islands, just off the coast of Barcelona in eastern Spain.

The capital of the island is Palma, which is a beautiful city (learn more in this article ) with the only international airport.

As such, unless you are getting a ferry from Barcelona, it’s highly likely you’ll be looking for a flight to Palma to get to Mallorca.

Flights arrive regularly here from many European capitals, including several London airports.

Budget airlines offer the best deals (if you don’t have any check-in luggage), otherwise you might be surprised by the affordability of regular airlines such as British Airways when you include checked luggage.

The best way to get info on all prices is to use a comparison tool of course and, as always, I suggest Skyscanner for the job!

Just enter your details below and I'll email it you - simple!

Information will be sent to the email provided above

#2 Do You Need a Visa?

Mallorca is part of Spain, so if you usually need a visa to visit this European country you’ll need one for Mallorca.

For those lucky ones, Spain is of course part of the Schengen travel zone in the EU, and this extends to the Balearic island of Mallorca.

For Brits wanting to get to Mallorca, you don’t need a visa, but post-Brexit, we are now limited to 90 days out of every 180 in the EU – boo hiss!

#3 When Should You Visit?

No question in my mind that the best time to visit Mallorca is between the months of March and October – this is when the warm weather will allow you to take full advantage of the island’s beautiful landscapes and beaches.

Just beware that in July and August especially, the island can experience some very high temperatures – think mid 30 degrees plus – so do bear that in mind if you’re not a fan of the heat or you want to enjoy some more active adventures on the island.

When I visited in mid-September the temperatures were still in the high twenties and very pleasant.

#4 How Long Should You Visit Mallorca For?

The amount of time you’ll want to spend in Mallorca will very much depend on what you plan to do there, whether you’ve been before and how long you have for your trip overall!

In general, most people tend to enjoy 1-2 weeks on the island – this is a good amount of time if you want to include some days relaxing on the beach, as well as enjoy some other activities the island has to offer including cycling, hiking and wine tasting – more on this later!

2 weeks will certainly allow you to explore most of the island, especially if you have a car, whereas with just one week you might have to choose certain regions of the island to concentrate on i.e. the west and the north.

#5 How Best to Get Around Mallorca?

So with the mention of car hire, it seems like a good opportunity to talk about getting around Mallorca and how best to do this.

There are certainly some local bus options you can use to get around the island – although these can be infrequent and irregular.

There’s also a train that runs from Port de Sóller to Palma, and while you certainly can use this, it is more of a tourist option than a regular commuter train.

In all honestly therefore, unless you are planning to stay in a resort and not move, the best option is to rent a car.

This will give the you freedom to get around and explore all the hidden beaches and cute towns you wish too – a key part when travelling to Mallorca.

I usually rent a vehicle with Thrifty Car Hire as they operate globally and have some great rates, however I actually found better deal in Mallorca with Wiber – so do check these guys out too.

All the car hire companies have handy depots near the airport in Palma, with shuttle services that can connect you with the arrival / departure hall and your rental car location.

If you plan to rent a car, don’t forget to check if you need an international driving license to drive in Mallorca.

And do remember to bring this with you, as well as the credit card you reserved the car with, when you come to collect the vehicle.

If you don’t feel confident driving in Mallorca, then I would definitely recommend basing yourself somewhere near the airport for ease i.e. in Palma or the areas around.

There’s lots to do in these places and the beaches are beautiful too.

#6 A Word About Orientating & Driving in Mallorca!

So that you’ve got your hire car in Mallorca, it’s probably worth talking a little bit about orientating and driving on this island.

Being part of Spain, they drive on the right-hand side in Mallorca – so Brits and other left-hand drivers do keep this in mind!

You’ll also be pleased to know that the roads are very good in Mallorca and that the main highways here are especially well-maintained and easy to drive on.

The only challenging part can be in the north of the island where the twisting mountainous roads do require some patience and skills to navigate.

As always, google maps can get you around safely however.

Just remember that if you are hiring a car, you may want to bring a phone holder that will help you navigate using Google as most rentals don’t include them.

#7 Where Should You Stay in Mallorca?

The island can generally be split into 4 main regions – the more remote north, the most populated west with Palma and Magaluf, the beach coves of the south and the long sandy strips and resorts of the east.

Thinking about what you want to do during your trip, and also how you might get around the island, are the key credentials when it comes to deciding where you might stay.

Check out this article I wrote specifically about how to choose where to stay if you are travelling to Mallorca.

#8 Best Things to Do in Mallorca?

So yes, a key part to planning your whole trip to the island of Mallorca is deciding what you want to do there!

Do you just want to laze at the pool in the resort, go out day tripping and exploring, or do some serious hiking and cycling?

Are you up for getting off the beaten track to discover hidden coves, or would you rather stick to the easier and more accessible sandy stretches?

As a guide, the more developed resorts and sandy strips tend to be around Palma in the northwest of the island and also near Alcúdia in the northeast.

The south and especially the north tend to be a bit more remote, with the latter providing most of the island’s great cycling and hiking trails, while the former has some beautiful cove beaches.

And who can forget the wine tasting and all the eating you can enjoy in Mallorca too?!

Many of the vineyards tend to be in the central flatter belt of the island, while wonderful restaurants can be found across Mallorca, but especially in the northern towns of Port de Sóller, Deià and Valldemossa.

Palma itself is also worth a couple of days – it’s a beautiful coastal city with a lovely historic centre and impressive cathedral!

#9 Is Mallorca Safe?

Yes Mallorca is very safe to travel and very easy to as well.

Although the language of the local people is Spanish, due to the well-developed tourism industry here, English is widely spoken.

The island is also very used to tourism, meaning the infrastructure is good and things are generally set up and very straightforward for the average visitor.

Travelling as solo female here I’d certainly feel safe and, even if you don’t speak Spanish or you get lost, there’s good data coverage across most of the island you can always tap into.

On that note, if you’re from the EU you won’t experience roaming charges when you visit in Mallorca, which is a real blessing!

If you come from further afield then, as with anywhere in the world, I highly recommend getting your hands on a SIM card that will allow you to access the data network – you can pick one up at the airport or in Palma.

Having access to the internet is a great way to help you feel safe, to navigate with maps, to book activities or accommodation and to keep in touch with those at home.

If even you decide not to go down the data option, then it’s worth knowing all accommodation and restaurants / cafes etc (well all the ones I experienced anyway) certainly had free wifi you could connect to!

Alternatively, if you’re a long-term traveller, digital nomad or frequent remote worker seeking travel health cover, check out Safetywing’s Nomad Insurance policies.

#10 How Much Does it Cost to Travel Mallorca?

Well this really depends on what sort of trip you decide to do in Mallorca, because honestly you could cycle and camp or stay in Airbnb’s and have a super cheap trip, or you could stay in a 5 star all-inclusive resort and blow a couple of grand!

In general, however, I found Mallorca a pretty affordable destination.

Both food and drinks are cheap in average bars and supermarkets are well-stocked which means if you have the facilities you can certainly cook in.

Airbnb’s tend to be pretty well-priced too, particularly if there’s a large group or family of you going and flights over to Palma are really affordable from elsewhere in Europe.

Our car hire cost a couple of hundreds euros for the week and we got a very efficient car so it didn’t use a lot of petrol.

In general, I find Spain is by far one of the cheapest countries in Western Europe to travel (Germany and Portugal are the other budget gems in this region), so don’t let money put you off if you’re thinking of travelling to Mallorca.

#11 What’s the Food and Drink Like?

And yes, one reason you might want to head to Mallorca is for the delicious food and drink!

Let’s start with the simple stuff – tap water here is generally potable, which means you don’t have to buy bottled water and waste all those plastic bottles – hoorah!

Beer and wine is also very affordable, especially the local stuff… did I mention Mallorca has a well-established wine culture and you can actually visit vineyards here and arrange tastings?

Food can be very affordable too if you go for the local options, especially tapas.

Paella and all things jamon (if you’re not veggie) are of course also local winners!

Vegetarians (como yo!) might find things a little hard here but not impossible.

The island has a lot of olive groves and orange plantations, so at the very least you should get heavily involved in both of these products!

Other foods such as the pizza and pasta classics are also readily available.

And of course ice cream… what are holidays for after all?!

#12 What Should You Pack?

And now that you’re hopefully pretty much sold on the idea that a trip to Mallorca is a good one, it’s time to think about what you should pack for a fantastic trip here.

Well first up, we want to cover the beachwear, as this is pretty much an essential in my opinion!

If you’re not a beach person, you probably won’t be heading to this island!

So yes swimwear, beach towel , sunscreen and a good hat are musts.

I’d also bring activewear with you when travelling to Mallorca so that you can enjoy some of the fantastic hiking and cycling on offer here.

And what about some nice clothes in case you want to go out to dinner?

That said, things are pretty casual on this island, so shorts and t-shirts are totally fine in the day, plus trousers and a top for the evenings.

If you’re visiting outside of the peak summer, then I’d advise a warm jumper and perhaps even a thin waterproof jacket in case of the odd of the shower.

And oh insect repellent is a definite must!

Learn more in this complete Spanish packing list .

#13 Can You Hike & Cycle Unguided?

In a simple, word, yes!

This island is an amazing spot for independent hikers and cyclists and I highly suggest taking full advantage if you’re travelling to Mallorca.

The best spot to get active is probably in the mountainous north of the island, where the twisty-turny roads lend themselves to a good adventure!

There are even several dedicated cycle trails, including the famous 312 route, which will take you a good few days to complete.

For hikers, the north is also the best spot to head for.

There’s some amazing multi-day trails you can walk that take between 8-10 days – the most popular are the GR221 and the GR222.

You can also opt for day treks that take in shorter sections of these routes.

This is what I did when I was in Mallorca and I have to say that the stretch between Deià and Port de Sóller was particularly wonderful – not least because it started and finished in 2 of Mallorca’s top towns!

This meant I managed to combine a good hike and some fab sightseeing, as well as a good sea swim and some beach time all in one day – what a winner!

If you would rather take a guided walking tour in Mallorca however, then this is also possible. Check out these top picks .

England rugby star Billy Vunipola ‘tasered twice’ during arrest in Majorca

England rugby star Billy Vunipola laughed after being tasered by police at a bar in Majorca

England rugby star Billy Vunipola has been arrested after being tasered by police a bar in Majorca.

The 31-year-old was tasered twice by police at a nightclub called Epic in Palma at 4.30am on Sunday following calls from security staff.

Vunipola, who is 6ft 2in and weighs nearly 20 stone, is accused of assaulting a police officer during the confrontation.

The Saracens No.8, who was born in Australia to Tongan parents and moved to the UK as a young child, issued an apology in a statement on Monday and described the incident as an ‘unfortunate misunderstanding’ .

Vunipola was taken to nearby Son Espases Hospital where he had to be sedated and bound to his bed. Until the medication took effect several security guards and police officers had to watch over him.

After a speedy trial in Palma later on Sunday, Vunipola paid a fine of €240 (£205) and received a four-month suspended prison sentence. He was also ordered to pay €500 (£427) in compensation to the person he injured.

Billy Vunipola was arrested and tasered at a club in Palma

A spokesperson for the National Police in Majorca said: ‘In the early hours of yesterday [Sunday] morning, at 4.30am, we arrested a 31-year-old foreign man on suspicion of a crime of disobedience and assaulting a police officer.

‘The events took place in a leisure establishment on the seafront in Palma, when a man was causing altercations inside the establishment.

‘The man would not listen to reason and confronted the rest of the customers, and the security staff were unable to restrain him or remove him from the premises.

‘The police were alerted and the officers, on seeing the man, who was shirtless and making gestures with his hands, cleared the premises. It was then that he confronted the police and attempted to assault the officers.

‘The police officers tried at all times to get him to calm down, but the man would not listen to reason. At that moment, the man pushed and slapped an officer and a policeman pulled out his electric stun gun and fired a first time although the gun didn’t discharge.

‘A second projectile was then fired, which did the job, and it was then that the officers jumped on him and proceeded to immobilise him by shackling him, later taking him to Son Espases hospital for assessment and arrest.

‘Yesterday afternoon he was taken to court and released on bail pending an ongoing investigation.’

Vunipola spent his childhood in Wales and the south west of England after emigrating to the UK.

He won a scholarship to attend the prestigious Harrow School and whilst there, was picked by Wasps Academy where he made his senior debut aged 18.

He featured 30 times in two seasons before signing for current club Saracens.

Vunipola made his debut for England on the 2013 Summer Tour of Argentina. He has been capped 75 times during his career.

His father and uncle both played for Tonga. His cousin, Taupe Faletau, has been capped by Wales and British and Irish Lions.

Uk tourists in majorca told to 'leave' after making life 'hard' for locals.

UK tourists in Spain have been warned "it's hard" as expats living in Majorca share the toughest part of living on the Balearic Islands. UK holidaymakers and tourists contemplating a move out to the sun-kissed holiday hotspot have been warned over the worst aspect of life on the European Union island.

Speaking on her YouTube Channel Mallorca Under The Sun, Alex shared: “The busyness extends not just to buses but also just life in general. [It's] packed everywhere on the island in the summer can be a pain for people living here.

“It can be hard to find a table in a really popular restaurant, you have to book ages in advance. The beaches are packed. After you’ve been here for a few years, some people just do not like the summer months. On the island.”

“This is a great time to leave, leave the tourists to enjoy the really high temperatures in Mallorca, also take a break as well," she said. To avoid these frustrations, Alex recommends leaving the island during the peak months, she told her YouTube viewers.

Prominent spots like Port Andratx, Santa Ponsa, and Palma Nova stand out as three of the most favoured areas among British property buyers. These locales offer an enticing array of luxury villas, sea-view apartments, and traditional Mallorcan houses.

Every year more than 2.3 million British tourists enjoy holidaying on Mallorca, which accounts for around 26% of the total tourist traffic. In Majorca, inflation is currently at 5.8 per cent. The increase in tourism prices can be partly attributed to this global price surge.

The President of the Mallorca Council, Catalina Cladera, said previously they want “tourism of greater value and less volume”. Cladera admitted that “the recurring debate about overcrowding is back”. “I won’t deny it, there has been overcrowding this summer,” she said.

“However, only in some places and at certain times.”

New data show a rise in travel-acquired malaria cases

Imported malaria cases diagnosed in 2023 exceed 2000 for the first time in over 20 years

New data from the UK Health Security Agency ( UKHSA ), published ahead of World Malaria Day (25 April), show an increase in malaria diagnosed in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, with reported cases exceeding 2,000 for the first time since 2001. Cases were confirmed in individuals who had recently been abroad. The number of cases highlights the importance of taking precautions to minimise the risk of malaria when traveling abroad.

In 2023, there were 2,004 cases of malaria confirmed in England, Wales and Northern Ireland following travel abroad, compared to 1,369 in 2022. The rise is linked to the resurgence of malaria in many countries and an increase in overseas travel following the removal of pandemic restrictions. The World Health Organisation reports that in 2022, global malaria cases were estimated at 249 million, surpassing pre-pandemic levels by 16 million compared to 2019. 

Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite that can be passed to humans by mosquitoes. Symptoms can be non-specific and flu-like including fever, headache, fatigue, abdominal discomfort and muscle aches. Cough and diarrhoea can also be seen. Although symptoms of malaria from several species of the Plasmodium parasite can cause severe disease, illness with Plasmodium falciparum can progress rapidly and cause life-threatening complications if prompt treatment is not given.

Following the ABCD of malaria prevention - ‘Awareness of risk, Bite prevention, Chemoprophylaxis and Diagnose promptly and treat without delay’ - can help travellers to be protected against the infection. UK travellers are reminded to seek and follow travel advice for their destination, which may include antimalarials and mosquito bite avoidance measures. There is no licensed vaccine against malaria for travellers, but vaccines are available for other travel-associated infections.

The Travel Health Pro website, supported by the UK Health Security Agency, has information on health risks in countries across the world and is a one-stop-shop for information to help people plan their trip abroad. Travellers should be aware that even if they have visited or lived in a malarious country before, they will not have the same protection against malaria as local residents and are still at risk. Travellers should consult their general practice, pharmacist, or travel clinic 4 to 6 weeks before their trip for individual advice and malaria prevention tablets where required.  

In countries with insects that spread diseases like malaria, dengue and zika, travellers can protect themselves by using insect repellent, covering exposed skin, and sleeping under a treated bed net.

For travellers feeling unwell during their trip, it is important to seek medical help while abroad. When returning to the UK, if feeling unwell, individuals should promptly seek medical attention and ensure they inform their healthcare provider that they have been traveling recently.

Professor Peter Chiodini, Director of the UKHSA Malaria Reference Laboratory (MRL), said: 

All malaria cases are preventable and simple steps like using insect repellent, covering exposed skin, sleeping under treated bed nets and taking malaria prevention tablets can lower infection risks. While malaria can affect anyone, the majority of Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases in the UK occur in those of African background. Even if you have visited or lived in a country before, you will not have the same protection against infections as local people and are still at risk. We are working in partnership with communities at greater risk to improve their access to and use of effective malaria prevention measures.

Dr Dipti Patel, Director of the National Travel Health Network and Centre, said: 

If you are making plans to travel abroad this year, please take a moment to prioritise your health and plan ahead. Check the relevant country information pages on our website, TravelHealthPro, and ideally speak to your GP or a travel health clinic 4 to 6 weeks ahead of travelling to ensure you have had all the necessary vaccinations and advice you need to ensure your trip is a happy and healthy one.

Brexit – Travel Between the UK and Mallorca

Since the end of the Brexit transition period, new rules have come into force for travel between the UK and Mallorca, Spain. We have summarised some of the changes for you below.

Travel Documentation after Brexit

You will need a passport to be able to travel between the UK and Mallorca. National ID cards are no longer accepted. It is important to check the age and expiry date of your passport to ensure that it is valid for travel. Your passport has to meet two criteria:

However, if you are also visiting other EU countries , you will need to check that you do not spend more than 90 days in total across all the countries you visit , in any given 180-day period. Different rules apply for business travel and longer stays.

Passport Stamping

When visiting Mallorca as a tourist, do check that your passport has been stamped when you enter and leave Spain. This is important, as border guards will use the stamps in your passport to check that you are complying with the 90-day rule (see above).

Mobile Roaming after Brexit

Sadly, the days of guaranteed free mobile roaming are over. You will need to check with your mobile phone operator to find out whether you will be charged a roaming fee in Spain.

This will safeguard you from inadvertently spending large sums of money on mobile roaming without realising.
