Which part of Majorca has best weather?

The southeast part of the island is definitely warmer than the northwest, but whichever part of the island lucky visitors choose to spend their holiday, sun is always guaranteed.



The South and Southwest regions of Majorca, particularly the area around the capital, Palma, typically boast the most consistent and pleasant weather year-round. This part of the island is somewhat shielded from the cooler, wetter winds by the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range to the north. While the Northwest is stunningly beautiful, it receives significantly more rainfall and can be several degrees cooler. The South and East coasts enjoy a classic Mediterranean climate with over 300 days of sunshine and mild winters where temperatures rarely dip below 10°C (50°F). During the peak of summer, the sea breezes in the South help mitigate the intense heat, making it more comfortable than the island's interior. For travelers seeking a "winter sun" escape or a reliable beach holiday, the stretch from Magaluf through Palma to Llucmajor offers the highest statistical probability of clear skies and warm temperatures.
