In seven short steps, we compare your preferences with 42 possible bases. You get up to three suggestions, each with an explanation of how it fits your plans.
Worth a visit Worth considering Less suitable Closed
April and October receive particularly strong recommendations in the season guide. The best time for you also depends on whether you want to swim, walk or explore towns and villages.
In July and August, look at the individual place guides for advice on heat and crowds. January, February and December are quieter in many resorts, with some tourist businesses closed for the season.
Ten places I like to show anyone visiting for the first time, from the city to a quiet cove. This is not a ranking: each place guide explains which months suit a visit.
There are so many places worth seeing in Mallorca. Here are a few of them, with the practical information you need to plan your visit just a click away.
Does it suit my holiday? Find out who will enjoy the place and which holiday plans it may not suit.
When should I go? Compare all twelve months: crowds, what is open and the most rewarding times to visit.
What can I do there? Suggestions for three hours, half a day or a whole day, including rainy-day ideas.
How do I get there? Airport driving times, parking, public transport and an honest view on whether you need a hire car.
Is it accessible and family-friendly? Information on surfaces, slopes, pushchairs, wheelchairs and dogs, so you know what to expect.
What is nearby? Neighbouring places, beaches and days out, with distances and journey times where available.
Six regions to explore
Which part of Mallorca suits your holiday?
Each part of Mallorca feels different. The rugged Serra de Tramuntana, the broad central plain and the sunny coast offer very different landscapes and holidays. Explore the six regions and find the one that suits you.
Mallorca Fritz helps you choose places that suit your holiday, decide when to visit and find nearby stops to combine in a day. Each of the 171 place guides draws on my own visits.
01
Beyond the best-known places. The right ones for you.
Every place has its own guide and an honest assessment: what can you expect, who will enjoy it and who might prefer somewhere else? A beautiful place is not necessarily the right one for your holiday.
02
Choose your moment. Find the right time to go.
A place can feel completely different in August, April or November. Every month is considered separately: how busy is it, what is open and when is a visit most worthwhile? That helps you decide when to go as well as where.
03
A day out that works
Which places are genuinely close, and what can you sensibly combine in a day? The guides suggest neighbouring places and days out. Where a driving time is available, it is shown; other distances are marked as straight-line distances. Allow more time for the actual journey, especially in the mountains.
04
Personally visited. Independently recommended.
The place guides combine my own impressions and photographs with practical information. No town, hotel or restaurant pays to be included or recommended. The English edition has no advertising offers or affiliate links.
