There’s a secret sweet spot in the European travel calendar, and it’s called “September in Mallorca” ;). The crowds thin, the heat softens, and the Mediterranean still sparkles like it’s mid-July. With Airial, planning your perfect shoulder-season escape to this Balearic gem takes less than a minute. Let the summer linger a little longer.

Why Mallorca in September?

Mallorca is the coastal dream most people miss. The high-season stampede slows to a graceful trickle, meaning beachside restaurants reopen their reservations, hiking trails quiet down, and charming villages like Deià and Valldemossa welcome you with open arms (and shorter queues). Flights and stays drop in price—while the island’s magic stays right where it is.

What is the September in Mallorca Trip Vibe:

This trip is for romantics, artists, cyclists, and anyone who hates crowds but loves coastal magic. Whether you’re craving peaceful beach reads, farm-to-table wine tastings, or cliffside scooter rides, September lets you roam like a local with all the sun and none of the chaos.


Planning Tips / Local Advice:

  • Best Time to Go: First three weeks of September—still warm (75–85°F) but with way fewer tourists.
  • Where to Stay:
  • Transportation: Rent a car or scooter to explore the Serra de Tramuntana.
  • Dining Tips: Book ahead for Ca Na Toneta (zero-kilometer dining in Caimari) or El Olivo (romantic cliffside dining).
  • Events to Catch: Festa de la Mare de Déu de la Salut (early September) in Palma for a peek into local tradition.
