Mallorca in October: What to Expect

  • Weather: Highs of 22-25°C and cooler evenings around 15°C. The sea stays near 22°C, still warm enough for paddling and swims when the sun’s out. You might catch the odd shower, or even rainy day, but most days are bright with plenty of sunshine.
  • What’s open: Most hotels, restaurants and family attractions run until the end of October, with pools and kids’ clubs open through half term.

  • What’s quieter: Water parks, beach clubs and water sports wind down early October, and coastal towns like Alcúdia and Cala d’Or do feel quite a bit calmer in the evenings.

  • Why families love it: Fewer crowds and easier days. Think beach mornings minus the parking drama, village cafés you can wander to, and mountain adventures in the afternoon. You might catch a  local harvest fair or fiesta and it’s also the start of hiking season, with cooler trails and family-friendly routes across the island.

 

October half term in Mallorca is all about keeping your options open. Some days are warm enough for the beach, others made for mini-hikes and village strolls. The best family hotels make it all flow effortlessly – perhaps with an indoor pool for the kids, good food or a spa for parents, and locations that balance coast, culture and open space. Stylish, family-friendly, and perfectly placed for whatever the weather brings.
