Spring in Mallorca: A Natural Spectacle and the perfect time to discover the island

Spring in Mallorca is a true natural spectacle and one of the best times of year to enjoy the island. With mild temperatures, longer days, and an explosion of colour across the landscape, the Balearic island becomes an ideal destination both for residents and those looking to invest in a second home.

At Balear Invest, we want to guide you in discovering this magical season and show you why spring is the perfect moment to fall in love with Mallorca.

The awakening of nature

As winter bids farewell, Mallorca comes to life with the blossoming of the almond trees and a lush green blanket covering its fields and mountains. The Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, transforms into a paradise for hiking and cycling enthusiasts. Routes such as Puig de Galatzó or Camí de s’Arxiduc offer breathtaking views and a unique opportunity to connect with nature at its finest.

Outdoor plans in Spring

With temperatures ranging between 15-22°C, spring is the perfect time to explore Mallorca without the scorching summer heat. Here are some specific plans to make the most of this season:

• Boat trip to Sa Calobra and Torrent de Pareis: embark on a journey from Port de Sóller to Sa Calobra, taking in dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters. Afterwards, walk through the spectacular Torrent de Pareis canyon.

• Cycling route through the Pla de Mallorca: ride through the rural paths of this central area of the island, passing vineyards and charming villages such as Sineu and Petra.

• Hot air balloon ride over the island: from the Manacor area, you can experience a balloon flight with stunning panoramic views of the entire island.

• Hike to the Formentor lighthouse: a trail with spectacular views ending at one of Mallorca’s most iconic spots.

• Relaxing day at Es Trenc: unwind on one of the island’s most paradisiacal beaches, with white sand and turquoise waters – perfect for a peaceful day before the summer crowds arrive.

Local Events and Traditions

Spring in Mallorca also means festivities and cultural events. Among the highlights is Holy Week, when the streets of Palma and other towns fill with impressive processions. It’s also an ideal time to visit local markets, such as those in Pollença or Santanyí, where you’ll find fresh produce, crafts, and typical gastronomy. Other unmissable events include:

• Campos Flower Fair: a burst of colour and tradition with flowers, music, and local products.

• Sant Jordi’s Day in Palma (23rd April): the streets of the capital fill with book and rose stalls, creating a truly special atmosphere.

• Wine Days Mallorca (May): a must for wine lovers, with tastings at wineries within the Binissalem Designation of Origin.

Spring Gastronomy

Mallorcan cuisine also embraces the season, with fresh ingredients and lighter dishes. In spring, local markets overflow with strawberries, asparagus, and aromatic herbs, which are used in traditional recipes. The Mediterranean diet at its best. You won’t want to miss:

• Frit de Pasqua: a typical Easter dish made with lamb, vegetables, and spices.

• Seafood rice dishes: enjoy a delicious rice meal at seaside restaurants in areas such as Portocolom or Port de Pollença.

• Ensaïmada filled with cream or apricot: a classic sweet treat that can be enjoyed year-round but pairs perfectly with a coffee on a sunny terrace in spring.

• Wine tasting at local wineries: discover Mallorcan wines by visiting wineries such as Macià Batle or José L. Ferrer in Binissalem.

Spring in Mallorca is synonymous with life, nature, and opportunity. Whether you are looking for a getaway to disconnect, to immerse yourself in the local culture, or to explore the property market, this season offers you the very best of the island in its purest state.
