Your Dream Honeymoon in Mallorca
Discover a Local’s Guide to a Beautiful Honeymoon in Mallorca
Mallorca is the perfect destination if you are looking for an enchanting honeymoon in the Mediterranean. With breathtaking landscapes and a rich culture, it offers an idyllic backdrop for a romantic getaway.
I have called this island home for 9 years and captured the love stories of countless couples and am excited to share my insider tips, exquisite hotel recommendations, and activities to make your dream honeymoon unforgettable.
Practical Tips for a Perfect Honeymoon in Mallorca
Best Time to Go
Consider planning your Honeymoon in Mallorca during the spring (April to mid June) or fall (mid September to October) when the weather is warm, and the island is less crowded. These months are the best time for exploring, indulging in outdoor activities, and enjoying the beauty of the island. The sea is also still very warm in September & October.
The summer months (July and August) bring high temperatures & humidity and while they may be perfect for beach days they are not ideal for any other type of adventures. Mallorca gets very crowded in the summer and accommodations and rental cars will be much more expensive.
Insider Tip: My personal favorite months are April & May. The island is filled with red poppies and temperatures are ideal. October is very beautiful too – not hot but still perfect for beach days.
Getting There
Mallorca is well-connected with international flights, and Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is a major gateway to the island. Numerous airlines operate direct flights from major cities in Europe, the United States, and Asia, ensuring convenient access for couples embarking on their dream honeymoon.
Getting Around
To make the most of your time on the island, consider renting a car to explore Mallorca’s hidden gems at your pace. This way you can discover off-the-beaten-path coves and villages but also gives you complete flexibility.
Language
The locals speak Mallorquin and Spanish but Mallorca is a very international destination and English is also commonly spoken or at least understood in the tourist sector. Menus are almost always available in English too. This makes navigating the island really easy.
