Spring is one of the best times of the year to visit Mallorca. Want to know why?
Although our island has a great reputation for summer holidays, we have very mild temperatures during the Springtime (average highs of 20 degrees Celsius and lows of 10 degrees Celsius) - perfect for outdoor activities.
Between March and May, you're also more likely to experience gusts of wind, and some of them can be strong.
We recommend you take a jacket or a jumper, especially if you're planning to head out into the Serra de Tramuntana mountains.
And if you have problems with allergies, be aware that pollen levels on the island increase considerably in spring, as they do throughout the whole of Spain.
Despite these minor "downsides" (which are easily overcome), visiting Mallorca in spring, and at times like Easter, is a real treat.
The scenery is breathtaking, with the fields blanketed in flowers, some of which are endemic, such as the cyclamen, which is very recognisable because of its purple stripes.
During your spring getaway to Mallorca you could also take the opportunity to visit the wine festivals held at this time of the year, where you can do some wine tasting and get to know the island's wine industry.
Here at Hotels VIVA, we have selected 5 ideal activities if you visit Mallorca this spring.
Some are simple and not very touristy, others are more romantic and still others perfect to enjoy with family or friends.
There's something for everyone!
Despite its mild climate, the Mallorcan spring brings us days of sunshine and warmth, perfect for swimming in the Mediterranean waters.
And as the coves and sea are calmer at this time of the year, why not take your first dip of the year in one of the magical spots on our island?
Taking a boat trip is one of the best things you could choose to do in Mallorca in the spring.
We recommend a great boat trip to Sa Calobra.
This island is usually very touristy in the summer, so it's a good idea to take advantage of spring to pay us a visit. You'll be able to travel along its famous road and enjoy its unique cove with virtually nobody there, which is absolutely priceless.
Sóller is one of the most touristy villages in Mallorca.
Its old train, port, and beautiful church give it a unique feel, and it attracts thousands of visitors every year.
If you visit Mallorca this spring, you won't want to miss the incredible spectacle of the fields in bloom, as they paint the whole valley orange and yellow.
In fact, spring is a great time to explore this valley and enjoy the fresh scent of citrus fruits.
One of the most popular excursions is the one that runs from Fornalutx to Sóller.
Mallorca is a wine region. And while the volume and production of its vineyards isn't very high, it has a significant presence in the inland areas.
One of the villages with the greatest wine-growing tradition is Puigpunyent.
In this small municipality in the Sierra de la Tramuntana mountain range, with a population of barely 2,000 inhabitants, the vines bloom quietly in the pleasant weather and surroundings.
Strolling through its fields at this time of the year is another of the most beautiful things to do in Mallorca in spring.
If you're thinking about what you can do in Mallorca in spring far from the tourists, we'd like to suggest another idea: visiting some of the gardens located all over the island, which are currently at the height of their beauty.
The gardens of La Alfabia, the gardens of Son Marroig, the botanical gardens of Lluc and Sóller, and the gardens of La Posesión, in La Raixa, are some of the most beautiful.
We know that Mallorca has so much to offer you in springtime.
If you’re planning to visit our island in the coming weeks, book your stay at one of our VIVA hotels. We can offer you excellent locations and all the services you could possibly need for an unforgettable stay.
