Mallorca is an island that you can fall in love with no matter the season. Thanks to its even climate, great natural diversity, and its infrastructure, this Mediterranean island has something for everyone. It's perfect to visit 365 days a year.

Winter is one of the most beautiful seasons. The tourist season draws to a close, nature changes its colours, and the temperature hovers between 11 and 17 degrees, with most days being sunny. Here at Hotels VIVA, we want to help you discover all you need to know about the planetarium in Mallorca, as well as other spots to visit as a couple this winter.

The planetarium in Mallorca: a romantic spot too good to miss

Inland on the island at Costitx, you'll find Mallorca's planetarium. Without a doubt, it's one of the most interesting tourist spots to visit. And it's not just for astronomy buffs. The planetarium is also for anyone who wants to have a unique experience.

The planetarium in Mallorca has state of the art technology. This can be seen with the observations, connections, and studies that are carried out there. The planetarium's projector can display up to 6,000 stars at the highest resolution that exists. It's an impressive show, and you can see it from underneath a 14-metres wide dome. More than 100 people fit comfortably seated at a time.

Apart from the sky projector, Mallorca's planetarium has cutting-edge technology which creates simulations about our planet's history, as well as the whole of the solar system. The planetarium is also connected to other observatories around the world. These connections to other telescopes allow you to see in real-time how the skies look from the other side of the globe.

Of course, while the planetarium in Mallorca is a great spot to learn and get close to the stars, spending time under the stars also has its romantic side. From times of old, observing the heavens with its beautiful stars is one of the favourite activities of many couples. In the planetarium in Mallorca, you'll be able to enjoy this experience in the best possible way.

Apart from its luminous displays and projections, Mallorca's planetarium also has an outdoor observatory. Here you can enjoy the night sky, the stars, other heavenly bodies, and all the other amazing scenes the universe puts on show each night.

On your next visit to the island, a stop at the planetarium is something that's too good to miss. Mallorca's planetarium opens from Thursday to Saturday, from 7:30 pm to 11:30 pm. They also have several special events throughout the year.

Valentine's Day all year round: enjoy Mallorca with your partner

Mallorca is famous for its spectacular beaches and for being the preferred destination during summer. But you can also enjoy the island at other times of the year. If you're planning a romantic getaway, Mallorca is the ideal spot.

The planetarium in Mallorca isn't the only romantic spot you'll find. Apart from stargazing, here are some other activities you can experience during a romantic getaway in winter.

Go up in a hot-air balloon

Would you like to see the sky by day? A trip in a hot-air balloon is an amazingly romantic idea. From high up above, you'll see the sea, the beaches, the Serra de Tramuntana, and even some of the neighbouring islands if the sky is clear. It would definitely be a special moment to share with your partner. You'll both be able to enjoy unique views. It would be a never-to-be-repeated experience.

Dinner for two

Mallorca doesn't just have incredible views from anywhere you go on the island. It also has a wide variety of high-quality dining experiences. We recommend restaurants with a view of the beach, where you'll sample the island's delicacies while you feast on the spectacular views. The best restaurants for a romantic dinner are: Bens D'Avall, Las Terrazas del Bendinat, Oleum, Voro, and Es Racó d'es Teix, among others.

Escape to the Serra de Tramuntana

Its picturesque villages, impressive nature, winding routes, and incredible views are what give the main mountain range of the Balearic Islands its unique charm. Anywhere throughout the range, you'll feel like you're in the pages of a fairy-tale, where each spot you visit is filled with romance. Sóller, Alcúdia, Deià, Valldemossa, Fornalutx, and Pollença are stops you can't miss out on on your next trip.

Mallorca is an island known for its beaches and bays, incredible scenery, rich history, and impressive architecture. But it also has a wide variety of activities that make it a destination you can enjoy 365 days of the year with your partner.
