Mallorca Summer Guide: How to Enjoy It Like a Local

Summer begins earlier in Mallorca than in many other Mediterranean destinations.

Summer begins earlier in Mallorca than in many other Mediterranean destinations. June is that magical moment when the island awakens under a special light, with pleasant temperatures and a vibrant energy that pulses through every street, terrace and cove. It’s the perfect month to immerse yourself in the true essence of Mallorca, without the crowds typical of the high season. If you're wondering what to do in Palma in June, the answer lies in enjoying the sun, the sea, and a host of unique experiences, all within easy reach from the capital.

Beaches and Coves to Enjoy Near Palma

Mallorca is brimming with hidden treasures, and near Palma you’ll find real coastal gems that require no long journeys. From Santa Clara Urban Hotel & Spa, some of the best beaches near Palma are just a short distance away – ideal for starting the summer at a relaxed pace.

Cala Mayor is one of the closest urban beaches to the city centre. With a lively atmosphere and crystal-clear waters, it offers all the amenities for a full day in the sun. Its proximity makes it a perfect option for a first summer dip after exploring the old town.

Just 30 minutes away by car, Illetas Beach shows off its beauty in a more exclusive and peaceful setting. Surrounded by pine trees and charming seafront terraces, it’s perfect for switching off without sacrificing elegance.

And if you’re drawn to quiet corners, Cala Portals Nous awaits with its calm atmosphere – ideal for reading, swimming, or simply listening to the whisper of the waves in a secluded cove.

Activities to Welcome the Summer

Summer is all about experiences. In Palma, the options are as varied as they are inspiring. A favourite among many? Sailing. A catamaran or yacht excursion from Palma’s harbour offers stunning views of the bay, with the city as a backdrop and the Mediterranean breeze as your companion.

For the more active, kayaking or paddleboarding in Palma Bay allows you to explore the coastline from a fresh perspective. Prefer to stay on land? A scenic bike ride from the Paseo Marítimo to Ciudad Jardín lets you enjoy the sea breeze and beautiful views. More fun, more wellness, more authenticity – what more could you ask for?

After so much activity, nothing beats joining the beloved Mallorcan tardeo (early evening socialising). Terraces like Anima Beach or Assaona blend music, cocktails and the sea in a relaxed setting that defines summer’s rhythm.

Events and Celebrations in Palma in June

June in Palma is also about culture and celebration. One of the highlights is the Sant Joan Festival (23 June), when purifying fire takes centre stage. Beaches glow with bonfires and Parc de la Mar becomes a magical gathering place filled with music, rituals, and wishes cast to the sea.

Throughout the month, open-air concerts in venues such as Es Baluard or Plaza Mayor offer a diverse programme, from jazz to flamenco, and from electronic music to classical.

And if you love strolling among lights and discoveries, Palma’s night markets are a great chance to browse local crafts and gourmet products in a charming atmosphere.

Summer Gastronomy: Where to Eat in Palma

Mallorcan cuisine also has its summer flair. The Mercat de l’Olivar is the perfect place to taste fresh seafood, local cheeses, and seasonal fruits. For something more laid-back, urban beach bars like Balneario Illetas offer Mediterranean dishes with sea views.

Among the unmissable flavours are tumbet – a delicious vegetable dish perfect for warm days – and the famous artisanal ice creams from Can Joan de s’Aigo, a timeless treat that will delight your palate.

The Heart of Mallorca Awaits

Summer in Mallorca begins in Palma, where every plan becomes an authentic and radiant experience. From postcard-worthy beaches to unique events, and the finest local cuisine, June is the perfect month to rediscover the island from its capital.

Don’t wait for the crowds to arrive. Enjoy the sun and sea at their most peaceful and charming. And to complete your escape, book your stay in the heart of the city: Santa Clara Urban Hotel & Spa, the perfect balance of history, design, and relaxation.
