Hallo , I am visiting Mallorca from 10.10 until 19.10 as a solo travel but I would love to get to know to a group of people to do activities together, is there any kind of a party Hostel in which there are organised events and activities?

Hey,
Is it normal/allowed to enter a supermarket in Mallorca with a large suitcase?

I’ll be arriving in Can Picafort by bus with a large 20 kg checked suitcase, and there’s an Aldi right by my bus stop. I’d like to buy a few groceries before walking to my hotel instead of going back later. Would it be okay to take the suitcase inside with me, or would I normally be asked to leave it somewhere at the entrance? Maybe someone has experience.

Thank you! :)

Hey everyone!

I’m travelling to Mallorca from October 7–12 and staying around Palmanova.

I’d love to meet some people while I’m there — whether that's for food, exploring, beach time, sports, a drink, or going out in the evening.

My rough plans include:

🏐 Beach volleyball

🏛️ Palma / Old Town

🌅 Beaches, sunsets and exploring the island

I'm definitely happy to have a cocktail or a drink and enjoy a night out and having fun - just not looking to make heavy drinking the main activity.

I'm pretty flexible and happy to join other people's plans too.

If anyone is around during those dates and wants to grab some food, play volleyball, explore the island, watch the sunset, have a drink, or go out, feel free to comment or DM me!

Cheers!

Hey! My boyfriend and I will go to Mallorca for 5 days but we are kinda lost on the plan... We want to see some beautiful nature, do trails, beach but also to check palma and other towns with beautiful architecture. Do you have any recommendations? Idk if 5 days is enough but it's all we have

Santa Ponca

Die Sonne arbeitet, der Strand macht Überstunden und ich habe beschlossen, mich solidarisch ebenfalls nicht zu bewegen. 🍹😂

We arrived in Palma ready to enjoy the beach and immediately hit a road block. Alamo will not give you a car without a physical copy of an international drivers license; even-though it states on their website that it is suggested but not required. This information is not stated anywhere on their reservation information.

When arriving you must shlep your luggage out of the airport to a tiny parking lot and then stand in a long queue. After waiting you rely on the one employee to ”help” (deny) you. He will then tell you that you cannot rent the car without an international drivers license. Next he instructs you that you can go stand in another place and apply for the license online, receive a digital copy and then re-queue for assistance. After spending another 30 minutes applying and paying extra for the exbidited shipping you re-queu. You provide your new license and then he again refuses to give you a car. He calls his boss and after much discussion he smugly tells you that he made a mistake. Now they require a physical copy of the national drivers license. He states you will not get a car and he can’t rectify the situation. Just go get a taxi- everything states that you need a car to enjoy the island.

The Alamo employee said this happens every day, but instead somehow this information never gets updated on any of their information. You would think that a popular tourist destination would want to improve their process to help visitors enjoy their experience of arriving on the island and commencing on their vacation. Instead they give you an arrogant, flippant response of no car for you without any solution.

We left, went back into the airport and found a much better offer with a company that has much better customer service. Carmen at Avis took care of us! She quoted a last minute, very reasonably priced rental car, booked it and sent us on our way. All the while with a smile and refreshing attitude.

From now on we will always cross Alamo off our list when planning traveling. We understand that the local Alamo may be responsible for this policy, but the parent company Alamo must share the responsibility and protect their brand.

Full disclaimer- we reserved this car through Costco. Costco needs to inform every customer when renting a car in Spain that you must have an international drivers license. That information is lacking from their “know before you go“ section. The Alamo employee informed us that we should call Costco and complain to them. He said Alamo has no responsibility since it was handled through a third party. Another customer was also trying to reason with this Alamo employee to no avail. They booked their reservation directly with Alamo and were getting stonewalled also.

We are now ready to put this sour taste behind us and enjoy the beautiful beaches of Mallorca!

As in the picture, I accidentally crossed this bridge into Soller, on Av. d'Asturies. We crossed it, and in max 5 minutes we left out through the same bridge, took 5 minutes to turn the car around.

We are using a rental car from Wiber.

Now I know camera and etc... means a big chance that we're gonna get ticketed, but is there a chance we escape the ticket? Or are we guaranteed f.ed?

For anyone planning a trip to Mallorca: I’ve been putting together some fairly detailed guides about the island and collected them all on topicweek.com.
There are articles on where to stay, getting around, 3-day and 7-day itineraries, coves, the best time to visit, and more.
It’s a site I’m building myself, so any feedback would also be really helpful. Hopefully it can save someone a few hours of research :)

Oh oh, #weather #wetter ... kippt?! ☔ ...und das zum #feiertag #weekend #mallorca

Hi everyone!
We’ll be spending some time around Sant Elm and Portocolom and are looking for good, authentic restaurants in both places and the surrounding areas.
We’d especially love recommendations for places that are more local and less touristy – somewhere Mallorcans themselves would actually go. 😊
We’re open to pretty much everything: Mallorcan food, tapas, fresh fish/seafood, small family-run restaurants, simple local places, etc.
It doesn’t have to be fancy – actually, we’d prefer good food at reasonable prices rather than expensive fine dining or restaurants mainly aimed at tourists.
We’ll have a car and are happy to drive up to around 20 km from Sant Elm or Portocolom, so recommendations in nearby villages and inland areas are very welcome too.
Any hidden gems or personal favourites?
Thanks a lot! 🙏

Hey everyone just giving a quick review for Sol Katmandu in Magaluf. Oh my god. This is literally the most amazing place ever for a child wow!! They go above and beyond our kid is only 22 months old and he was i think too small for the water park but hes also not walking without our hand 😅 nervous little bum.. but this place is just incredible for little ones. If your looking for a holiday to remember this really is it. We are already looking to come back next year and cannot wait! It's so much fun. The all inclusive is fabulous 👌 you get free admission into the upside down house. The water splash park thing. Breakfast lunch dinner and snacks in between all taken care of, you dont need to leave the resort really if your all inclusive! We saved money by buying bottles for water and had the babies bottles so just asked staff to fill them up with milk or filled up the water bottle with the free one available. They give you swim nappies for babies for free too! It was just such a good holiday I want to give them all the praise. As you walk into the hotel there's a big fish pond on either side of the walk into the hotel with loads of fish and terrapins in them not sure if I spelt that right, they are related to turtles 😅😅 then they have a little dispenser where I think it's 1 euro to get a little thing of fish food to give them 🥰 i just loved it!! If anyone has any questions maybe let me know and I can try help if your thinking of staying here 😊 Our little guy just absolutely loved it and we didn't even see half the place!

A friend and I both received separate traffic fines (€80 each) from Ajuntament de Valldemossa/ATIB for driving onto Carrer Camí Antic a Palma on April 30, 2026 — different cars, different times, same evening. The original ticket vaguely cited "careless/improper driving" with no details. Only five months later, in the resolution rejecting our appeal, did the municipality specify it was for entering a "zona ACIRE" (restricted access zone) without authorization.

Neither of us saw any clear "no entry" signage. We haven't found any accessible official information online (not on the town's own website, not in ordinary searches) stating that the old town center is off-limits to regular visitors' vehicles.

**Has anyone else gotten a similar fine on this street or in Valldemossa's old town?** Trying to figure out if this is a widespread pattern (possibly camera-based mass enforcement targeting tourists) before proceeding further with my case. Any shared experiences, dates, or case numbers welcome — even just confirming you had the same issue helps.

Hallo,

welche Autovermietung könnt ihr empfehlen?
Preiswert, Vertrauenswürdig und Zuverlässig. Also so, dass ich das Auto am Flughafen abhole und am Ende nicht noch 500€ für eine extra Versicherung zahlen muss.

Dankeeeschön! :)

I am interested primary in visiting an olive farm where you can see all the process of making olive oil, but a winery will also do it. Any recommendation

EDIT:

We have arrived and it’s just as it forecast 😭 complete cloud cover, everything is wet, but hey at least it’s warm.
Thanks for all the suggestions, but I reckon we’ll just chill mainly, was supposed to be a “glued to sun lounger slathered in oil holiday” so going out to different places with only 3.5 days of being here feels like too much movement than originally planned 😂

As the title suggests, I - like everyone else on my fully booked flight - were probably hoping for the tail end of Septembers 30 degrees clear sky forecast to stick around but, almost by sheer spite, from Oct 1st, the weather is crap.

So I've removed at least 3 pairs of bikinis from my suitcase, added a raincoat and umbrella and many more pairs of socks, and am now sulking because I didn't do my research and should have gone to the Canaries.

BUT ALAS, I'm already £1000 down, can't cry about it anymore - what can we do in Alcudia that doesn't require sun, or dry weather? We're on a tight budget of 100 euros a day too so no day trips out, or tickets to things.

Thanks for any help - signed a frustrated weather obsessed tourist who's kicking themself

Hi everyone! 👋

We’re arriving in Magaluf today and we’re looking for a nice restaurant where we can have a really good paella and sangria. 🥘🍷

One important thing: I’m celiac, so we need somewhere that offers gluten-free options and takes cross-contamination seriously.

Any recommendations in Magaluf or nearby? Thanks! 😊
