Majorca holidays 2026/27: Book your trip to the Balearics

When is the best time to visit Majorca?

Majorca, like the rest of the Balearic Islands, enjoys mild to hot weather all year round, which means that you can find holidaymakers on the island during every season. That said, the summer months of June, July and August are undoubtedly Majorca's peak holiday months, with hot weather and, unfortunately, higher prices too. If this is when you'd like to visit, watch out for early bird and last-minute deals to get some bigger savings for your Majorca holiday.

For warm weather, slightly cheaper prices and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of April to May and September to October are great times to be in Majorca. What's more, all of Majorca's summertime activities and excursions will still be on offer during these months.

For the cheapest holiday prices of all, you can head to Majorca between November and March. This is when the island is quiet but the weather is still mild enough to enjoy the island's major sights and beautiful nature. Just keep in mind that many activities and day trips won't be running during these months.

We love package holidays. Why? Put simply, they feel less stressful than other types of holidays. Instead of having to take care of the admin with separate bookings for flights, accommodation and transfers, a package holiday bundles all of these into a single deal. Majorca is especially geared up for package holidays, as this is one of the most popular ways to visit the island. That means you're pretty much guaranteed a seamless holiday experience.

Majorca holiday packages are also a good idea for budgeting reasons. For one, holiday packages are often cheaper compared to booking accommodation, flights and transfers separately. That's because holiday providers will often buy hotel rooms and flights in bulk at a lower price, which means that holidaymakers will get to enjoy discounts too. Secondly, it's easier to manage your own travel budget with a package holiday, as you've already paid for your room and flights upfront, so all you need to do is manage your budget for meals and activities.

To give yourself even more control over your budget, you could consider booking an all-inclusive package holiday, where your three main meals, drinks and snacks will be included. With everything covered in a single deal, you'll know exactly how much your holiday will cost.

Here are some other benefits for booking a package holiday to Majorca:

• Financial protection: Most UK holiday providers will sell package holidays that are ATOL protected, which means that you'll be financially protected if the company goes under.

• Many resorts to choose from: Majorca is home to so many different resorts, each with their own distinct vibe. Whether you're looking for something tranquil or a family-friendly resort with all the activities and fun facilities, you'll easily find the right deal for you, often at a competitive price too.

• Perks and upgrades: Each deal is different, but some will throw in extra perks, like airport transfers, watersport equipment hire, activities, cheap upgrades and more.

• Convenience: Perhaps the best reason of all, especially if you're travelling with your kids for the first time or travelling in a big group. Package holidays allow you to have all of the big elements of your trip in one tidy deal, meaning less stress and hassle.

Q: What are the best things to do in Majorca?

A: As the largest Balearic island, there are plenty of things to do in Majorca, from seeing cultural attractions like La Seu and Roman ruins to lazing on one of the island's many beaches or trying out watersports or horse riding. There are also plenty of family-friendly attractions, such as the Hidropark Alcúdia waterpark, Palma Aquarium and the Caves of Drach.

Q: What should I bring on holiday to Majorca?

A: If you're visiting during spring or autumn, it's a good idea to bring light layers so that you can adjust your outfit for potentially cooler evenings. In summer, bring your swimming gear, hat and sun protection if you're planning to spend most of your time on the beach (check out our beach holiday packing list). The most important thing is to consider when you're visiting and what activities you're planning on doing, and then pack accordingly.
