Mallorca This Month

September is the island’s big exhale.

The sea is often where you feel it first: the water clears and the blues brighten, but it’s still beautifully warm for swimming. On land, the daytime heat eases, and once the schools go back, the beaches and restaurants suddenly feel a lot less frantic.

Its also when Mallorca starts to feel more like Mallorca again. Villages for slow mornings, beach dips without a parking plan, harvests festivals on the weekend and impromptu city suppers, making a welcome change from the relentless August beach-and-pool routine.
