Choosing the right month for your Mallorca escape
May and June give you a useful balance of warmth, sunshine and room to explore. May reaches daytime temperatures of 22 °C with ten hours of sunshine, while June offers 26 °C and twelve hours. These months suit visitors who want coastal walks, market visits and time outdoors without making the island the whole focus.

Daytime temperatures reach 29 °C in July and 30 °C in August, with sea temperatures of 25 °C and 26 °C. Keep the daily route comfortable by placing one main activity around the hottest part, then leaving the evening for a waterfront meal or a slow walk.
September brings warm sea at 25 °C and daytime temperatures of 27 °C, making swimming and island sightseeing rewarding. October remains warm at 23 °C during the day and offers a calmer rhythm for villages and walking routes. January through March works well for Palma, galleries, local food and clear sightseeing days, with daytime temperatures between 14 °C and 16 °C.

Enter your Edinburgh departure point and Mallorca as the destination, then compare the flight options shown on the page. Dates can remain open while you compare choices, or you can add them when your flights and accommodation are ready.
EdinburghiPhoto: W. Bulach · CC BY-SA 4.0 · Wikimedia CommonsA first base in Palma gives you direct access to La Seu Cathedral, the waterfront and the old city. Keep the opening day light after travel, perhaps pairing the cathedral with a walk through the historic centre. Save Palna Nova and the seafront for another day when you know the pace that feels best for your group.
For a longer visit, Palma can be one part of an island route rather than the whole holiday. Add a second stay later in the plan, allowing the map to connect the two bases. This arrangement gives you a change of scenery while helping each day stay centred around local stops and sensible travel legs.

Beaches, coves and coastal days for every kind of traveller
Families often do well with a beach-focused week that leaves plenty of time for swimming, snacks and a flexible return to the accommodation. Choose one coast for the main stay and treat other beaches as an outing rather than a rapid checklist. Summer sea temperatures support long swims, especially across July, August and September.
Couples and active travellers can mix coastlines with walking. The area around Cap de Formentor offers dramatic scenery, while Sant Antoni de Portmany provides a convenient setting for waterfront walks and relaxed evenings. Use the map to arrange nearby stops together and choose a relaxed pace when the day includes several swims or a long outing.
The beach works well in other seasons too. March and April bring daytime temperatures of 16 °C and 18 °C, with sea temperatures of 14 °C and 16 °C. These months suit walkers who want outdoor time and comfortable sightseeing, adding beach visits to a varied programme rather than making them the sole activity.

A seven day island plan with a relaxed rhythm
Begin in Palma for La Seu Cathedral, the old city and the waterfront. On another day, explore the wider Tramuntana area, reserving time for a scenic drive and a place to stop for lunch. Keeping these activities separate gives you room to adjust the day around the weather and your energy.
Move your second base towards the coast, then build days around a beach, a market town and a scenic headland. Refrain from placing distant stops on the same route. A balanced pace of two or three stops works well, while a relaxed pace gives families and travellers with an early flight more breathing space after arrival.
For the final day, keep plans close to your departure point and leave time to return to the accommodation. The editable planner can move a stop to another day, swap a destination and reorder the route. Share the finished plan with your group, allowing everyone to comment, vote and see the latest version in one place.
