Why choose winter for a romantic break in Mallorca?
In summer, Mallorca is a place to share. In winter, it’s a place to savour as a couple. The roads through the Tramuntana mountains are free of traffic jams, the inland villages go about their business at their own pace, and you can explore Palma without having to queue outside the cathedral. The days remain mild – mild enough to have lunch on a terrace – and the cool evenings make a log fire all the more cosy.
This is also the season for our winter experiences and breaks, designed to help you discover the island in a different way through culture, cuisine and scenery whether with an Amigo or at your own pace.
Our favourite: a stay in the heart of Mallorca, in Costitx
A suite with a fireplace in the heart of the island
In Costitx, a small, peaceful village in the Pla de Mallorca, your stay at the Hotel Ses Illes will see you settled into a Luxury Double Suite with garden views and a fireplace. In winter, a little welcome gift awaits you, containing everything you need to light your first fire. Breakfast is served every morning, and the included hire car gives you the freedom to explore Palma, the Tramuntana mountains or the inland villages.
From 2 nights: Palma through the senses
Your first getaway for two in the capital. With ‘Palma through the Senses’, you’ll explore the cathedral at your own pace, enjoy ‘Elements’ a show combining music, imagery and light and then sit down for a picoteo at a hand-picked venue. The bookings are all sorted; all you have to do is follow your roadmap. To make the most of your day, check out our ideas for enjoying Palma in winter.
In 3 nights: the Tramuntana and dinner in Valldemossa
The 3-night package includes an extra day in the Serra de Tramuntana: the Son Marroig estate in Deià, overlooking the sea; the botanical garden in Sóller; followed by dinner at Can Costa in Valldemossa. The village of Chopin and George Sand takes on a whole new atmosphere after dark. To help you plan your day, read our article on Valldemossa in winter.
Over 4 nights: cooking together in Inca
To round off your stay, a Mallorcan cookery workshop in Inca, just a few minutes from the hotel: you’ll prepare the menu together, then enjoy it together. It’s a lovely way to take home a memory that you can recreate in your own kitchen.

Experiences to enjoy as a couple to make your stay last longer
The car included in your holiday package makes it easy for you to add one or more of our ‘Freedom Experiences’, which you can enjoy at your own pace with a route plan and pre-booked arrangements.
An evening out in Palma, from cocktails to dinner
For a truly romantic evening, Palma after dark offers a series of experiences: an immersive show, a cocktail at one of the city’s iconic venues, and dinner at a traditional restaurant serving local specialities. Everything’s been booked all you have to do is enjoy yourselves.
A vineyard and a Mallorcan restaurant
With Vins & Saveurs, the day begins at a local market, continues with a visit to a vineyard including a wine tasting, and ends with a meal at a traditional restaurant. An itinerary to be savoured without keeping an eye on the clock.
Let’s create your own olive oil, together
Set amongst the olive trees near Santanyí, our olive oil workshop introduces you to olive oil tasting before letting you create your own blend from three different oils. You’ll leave with two bottles of your own creation: a lovely souvenir to share.
A dessert in a village of golden stone
On the same day, make the most of being in the south-east to enjoy some of the region’s delights: a private lunch in Ses Salines, followed by dessert and a coffee at a hand-picked spot in Santanyí. A leisurely day, at your own pace.
