What November is like in Mallorca
November is cool, with highs near 67F (20C), and rainier. Resorts are closed, and Palma and the mountain villages are quiet. It is a good month for walking, food markets, and city breaks. Prices are near their lowest, and the pace across the island slows right down.
It suits hikers, couples, and budget travelers who want a quiet Palma base with mountain walks. It is not a beach month. For beach time, go back to early October or plan for June, when the resorts are open and the sea is warm.
Make the most of November
What is especially good about Mallorca this month.
Autumn hiking
The Tramuntana is quiet and green again after the first rains. The GR 221 is at its best.
Palma's food markets
Local markets are full of autumn produce. A market lunch is a great way to spend a rainy day.
Quiet villages
Valldemossa and Deia are peaceful without the summer coaches.
What to pack for November
- A waterproof jacket
- Hiking shoes
- Warm layers for evenings
- An umbrella

Things to do in Mallorca
Palma Cathedral (La Seu)
The Gothic cathedral on the waterfront, with an interior touched by Gaudi. Go at opening or late afternoon to avoid cruise groups.
Soller train and tram
A wooden train running since 1912 from Palma through the mountains to Soller, then a tram down to the port. Book ahead in summer, and check for winter maintenance closures.
Valldemossa and Deia
Two stone villages in the Tramuntana, the first famous for Chopin's winter stay, the second for the writers and artists who settled there. Visit early before coaches arrive.
Cap de Formentor
The island's dramatic northern tip. In peak summer private cars are restricted on the final stretch; check before you go and consider the bus.
Hiking the GR 221
The Dry Stone Route traverses the Tramuntana with mountain refuges along the way. Best from February through May and in October and November.
Mondrago Natural Park
Protected coves with clear water and pine woods in the southeast. Arrive before 10am in summer.
Beat the crowds
- Visit the most famous calas, such as Cala Varques or those in Mondrago, before 10am or after 5pm. Midday parking often runs out entirely in July and August.
- Check Palma's cruise schedule and save the cathedral and old town for non-ship days, or early mornings.
- Stay in an inland village, Soller, or a finca instead of the big resorts, for calmer nights and easier access to the mountains.
- Drive the Sa Calobra and Formentor roads early. Tour coaches and cyclists fill them from mid-morning.
Know before you go
- Many hotels and restaurants in beach resort areas close from about November to March. Palma, Soller, and the larger inland towns stay open year-round.
- In summer, access to Cap de Formentor and some protected beaches can be restricted for private vehicles; check current rules before driving.
- Mallorca has tightened rules on holiday rentals and on drinking in some resort zones. Book licensed accommodation.
- Late summer and autumn can bring sudden heavy storms that close roads and beaches for a day.
