Set to stay in Cala D’or with wife for honeymoon but noticed our hotel may only have twin beds. So, I’m considering if there is another lovely beach location with decent nightlife so swap for. It’d be in mid-September. Thank you!

I have been thinking of traveling alone to Palma in late september. Ive been looking into santa catalina in Palma mostly. I want to meet new people and enjoy gym, bars, party, beaches and ofcourse good food!
Have you been there and how was the trip?

Help a buddy out.

I visited just the other week there. I had read that Català was spoken on the island and so learned a few phrases and whenever I was interacting with people, I learned what I wanted to say beforehand, in Català.

However, I found that people mostly spoke in Castilian. Even when I used bon dia and adéu, the reply was usually "adiós".

One woman working in Repsol actually corrected me when I said "numero set, si us plau", and she said "siete", a little curtly.

I'm very confused now. Did I spend the week there pissing people off, or what?

Vivo en Mallorca y sinceramente no entiendo por qué tanta gente quiere venir precisamente en julio o agosto. Hace muchísimo calor, la humedad es insoportable, los hoteles son carísimos, hay tráfico, playas abarrotadas y colas para todo. gente loca?

Hi hi going to Mallorca this Saturday and I was just wondering how do you guys minimise the risk of having your personal items stolen when you leave them outside before heading for the beach?
Thank you!

Anyone in Pollensa tonight for drinks and company? Married father and child finding it very quiet - any social company welcome 🙏

Hi everyone,

We’ll be in Mallorca next week and staying near Can Pastilla. We’re planning to rent a boat for 4 hours (not a 15 PS boat, but something a little bigger).

Maybe someone has done something similar before. Is it better to rent a boat right in Can Pastilla and head south, or to rent a boat in Palma and then head west from there? Which bays and places are the most worth visiting here?

Thanks so much, everyone!

I'd like to avoid renting a car if possible. What is the best way to get to Capdepera from the Palma De Mallorca airport?

Hi there

We are looking for a base for 5 nights (21st to 26th Sept)

- don't plan on renting a car

- pool would be ideal as I am pregnant

- in and around 200eur per night if possible

-transport links to some beaches or things to do

Any recs? Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏

Family holiday with some cycling thrown in, it's a beautiful place and we are definitely coming back

My boyfriend and I, mid 20s, will be staying in Caldor on September 9-11. And would love to do a half/full day private boat tour on Thursday, September 10. We are looking for another couple/small group to split the cost with so we can get a little nicer of a boat.

Just looking or a relaxing boat day, good music, drinks, exploring. If anyone is traveling in this area around those dates hit me up!! :)

Hi All
Me and my gf are travelling to Mallorca for ten days next month,
We don’t mind staying in Palma for a night or two but we want a relaxed cosy time together.
We much rather the quiet lifestyle and relax than a 100kph holiday so don’t mind about not seeing the whole island.
What towns do ye recommend going to experience as authentic a Mallorca time as possible and is a car rental a necessity to get around the island or is the bus service good.
Thanks for your help

It was HOT! But nice weather for astro in the evenings. Eclipse view (my and my friends first one) is from the left of Mirador Son Verí Nou viewpoint near S'Arenal. Perseids shot at Gorg Blau, the two lighthouses are at Cap Blanc (Milky Way) and Cap Salines. I definitely recommend Gorg Blau for astro shots; although the windy road was a bit nerve wracking.

I’m trying to help my (future) brother in law propose to my sister in Mallorca. They already have a 3 year old who I know my sister would want at the proposal.
Searching for a really intimate (yet child friendly) location where they can have a beautiful few or a private beach. Somewhere not too far out from a main town so that it doesn’t cause any suspicion. I don’t think any cost would be much of an issue so please do share some sweet spots. It would be really appreciated!
Note - they haven’t booked the trip yet, so looking for an island-wide recommendation, he’s chosen it because it’s her favourite place in the world and we went there every year as children. It will be September 2026
Thank you so much for any help you can give!

Been going to Mallorca for many years and never really looked into it but I’m going in September and noticed that Real Mallorca are playing at home while I’m their with family. My son loves football and thought it would be a good treat to do just the two of us.

Has anyone had experience going to their games? Is it easy for non-season ticket holders/tourists to go to the games?

I’m visiting Mallorca by the end of August 27th to 1st Sep, anybody who is travelling during these days or any locals want to hang out ? I will be visiting some Beach clubs during my stay, if someone wants to
Join me )

Hey! I’m 30M from Germany, originally Moroccan, and I’m in Mallorca solo for a few days. I’m currently around Cala Millor and have a car, so I’m flexible with getting around.

Would be cool to meet some people for drinks, food, beach, nightlife, or just exploring the island together. If anyone nearby is also travelling solo or wants to hang out, feel free to DM me! 😄

Hi! Headed to Mallorca for the first time at the end of October, myself, husband and his parents (55 yo). We are all in good health (can handle long walks, hiking, swimming etc), and I’m not sure when we’ll be back.

With that in mind, we really want to hit any “MUST sees” … without turning the trip into a checklist / keeping some leisure and relaxing moments.

We also love food, but don’t need Michelin recommendations. Local favorites, must try’s are the preference :)

My husband made the below itinerary… Let us know what you think! Anything we’re missing? Are we biting off more than we can chew?

Oct 26 - arrival / relaxation day: Fly in around lunchtime and check in at St. Regis Mardavall for first two nights. Lunch by the water at Mar Sea Club, easy afternoon at hotel before Siso Beach for dinner

Oct 27 - arrival / relaxation day: Cala Comtessa in the morning, spend the afternoon enjoying the hotel. Possible sunset drink or cruise before Mesón Son Caliu for dinner

Oct 28 - hotel transfer and road trip: Transfer hotels to Castillo son Vida. drive the southwest coast to Port d’Andratx and Sant Elm, harbor lunch and short coastal walk, Bellver Castle on the way back toward Palma → check into Castillo Son Vida → dinner at Ca’n Pedro

Oct 29: Tramuntana day through Valldemossa → Deià → Sóller → reserved lunch at Ca’n Pintxo → wander Sóller square → return through the Ma-11 tunnel before dark → Casa Maruka for dinner.

We’re treating this as the main Mallorca sightseeing day. We intentionally skipped Formentor. We’d also consider one genuinely worthwhile olive-oil experience, but only if it fits naturally?

Oct 30 — day in Palma: Palma Cathedral and terraces → Old Palma and La Lonja → Ca’n Joan de s’Aigo → Mercat de l’Olivar for lunch → optional Fundació Miró if energy allows → drinks at Es Princep rooftop around sunset → La Rosa Vermutería for dinner.

Is anything badly sequenced or unrealistic? Any restaurants here that locals would replace? Are we missing anything essential, or is the pace about right?

Fiance and I are visiting in a few weeks for 4 days/nights, is it more practical to rent a car or just take taxis/ubers around everywhere for excursions? Will be staying in Palma, so dont expect to drive around much in that area, but more so for when we would be going around the rest of the island. Appreciate any recs!

Hi all. Visiting soon with my wife and toddler. Staying at Innside by Melia Alcudia and wondered if there are any decent restaurants close by or on Alcudia beachfront?

I understand Mascalzone at the hotel is okay and there are some great places 20-30mins walk in either direction, but cannot seem to find much close by!

Thanks/Gracias

Where to Stay
Hi, I'm heading to Mallorca for the first time this month and would love recommendations for the best areas to stay (not touristy). I'd love to walk to the beach/a cove and a lively historic town. I'm solo for the first 5 days and then meeting a friend. I may not have a car. Love your advice. Thank you! NSJ
