Is everything open in Majorca in October?

This month Mallorca is at the end of the summer season and practically all tourist businesses are fully booked. Bars, restaurants, water parks are all still open. The temperatures in October are very pleasant (between 23 and 28 degrees Celsius) and it is not as hot as in August, which is appreciated by children.



In October 2026, Majorca is in its "shoulder season," meaning that while the island is very much "open," the high-energy pulse of the summer peak begins to soften. Most major resorts, hotels, and tourist attractions remain fully operational until the end of the month, as October weather is typically pleasant with average highs in the mid-20s (70s°F). However, you will notice that in smaller, strictly seasonal coastal towns, some beach clubs, water parks, and "party" venues in areas like Magaluf or S'Arenal may begin to wind down or close their doors mid-month. In contrast, the capital city of Palma and inland villages remain vibrant year-round. October is actually considered one of the best times to visit for "active" tourism; golf courses, hiking trails, and cycling routes are at their peak popularity. While you might find fewer "boozy" boat parties, the cultural scene flourishes with harvest festivals and local fairs, offering a more authentic Balearic experience without the stifling heat or the massive July and August crowds.
