Mallorca in November, is an island that catches its breath. The beaches empty, the villages return to their usual rhythm, the olive harvest is in full swing and, at last, you can explore the Serra de Tramuntana without feeling the heat. It’s also the month when our winter activities begin, whether guided or self-guided. Here’s how to make the most of November.
Mallorca Weather in November: Soft and Golden Light
The Mallorca weather in November is surprisingly mild, ideal for visitors who enjoy tranquility.
- Average temperatures: between 16 and 22°C during the day, perfect for walking and sightseeing.
- Evenings: around 12–14°C — bring a light jacket.
- Sea temperature: around 20°C, great for those who don’t mind a refreshing swim.
- Sunshine: 6–7 hours per day.
Visiting Mallorca in November means enjoying a golden light that enhances the island’s nature, the Tramuntana mountains, and the charming stone-paved villages.
What to Do in Mallorca in November
November marks the start of Mallorca’s quietest season. The days remain mild, the light is beautiful, and the island reveals itself as its inhabitants experience it: markets, cafés, uncrowded mountain roads, and villages where you can take the time to stop and explore. It’s the perfect month for walking, meeting people, sampling local specialities and discovering the areas you tend to just pass through in summer.
If you tend to travel over the festive season, why not take a look at our ideas for enjoying the island in December?
Exploring the Serra de Tramuntana, from Sóller to Valldemossa
Without the summer heat, the Mallorcan mountains are at their best. On our ‘Treasures of Mallorca in the Tramuntana’ day trip, an Amigo will take you from Sóller and its harbour to Valldemossa via the Ma-10 road, running alongside the Mediterranean, with a stop at Son Marroig, the former residence of Archduke Louis-Salvador. A Mallorcan lunch and collection from your accommodation are included.
Do you have a car? The ‘Tramuntana at Your Own Pace’ tour lets you explore the botanical gardens of Sóller and the Son Marroig estate at your own pace, with a pre-booked lunch and a route map for each stage.
Hiking in the cool air with an Amigo
November is one of the favourite months for walkers. The trails are quieter, the temperatures are pleasant and the views are unobstructed. For a guided walk tailored to your ability, your Amigo will choose the route to suit your preferences whether along the coast or in the mountains and a traditional lunch is included. To plan other outings, take a look at our selection of the island’s most beautiful walks.
Experience the olive season
Autumn is olive harvest season, and the new olive oil is one of the island’s proudest products. It’s the perfect time to create your own blend of olive oil and take your bottle home with you. Food lovers can also get behind the hob with our Mallorcan cookery workshop, from farm to fork.
Discover the northern towns of Alcúdia and Pollença
Once summer is over, the north of the island returns to its usual tranquillity. Our day trip to Alcúdia and Pollença takes you along the medieval ramparts of Alcúdia, up the steps of the Calvary in Pollença and to a viewpoint overlooking the Tramuntana mountains, with a traditional lunch along the way and an Amigo to tell the story of these two towns.
Wander through the south-east, between Ses Salines and Santanyí
The south-east of Mallorca is perfect for carefree days out. The charms of the east allow you to explore at your own pace between Ses Salines and Santanyí, with lunch already booked, followed by dessert and a coffee in a village built of golden stone. Further north-east, the caves of Artà and Capdepera Castle can also be explored at your leisure.
See what everyday life is like in Palma
In November, the capital belongs to its residents. On our small-group tour of Palma, an Amigo will take you from the old fishing districts to the cathedral, with a gourmet stop at a traditional bar. On gloomier days, Palma is also a true city of art: a day spent between Es Baluard and the CaixaForum, with a tapas break, is a great way to enjoy the city indoors.
Have a look round the Dijous Bo in Inca
In mid-November, Inca hosts the Dijous Bo, the island’s biggest fair. Artisans, producers, food stalls and entertainment take over the town centre for a day that’s very popular with the Mallorcans. The dates change every year: check before you come.

Our tips for travelling in November
- Remember to dress in layers: a T-shirt might be enough at midday, but mornings and evenings can be chilly, especially in the mountains.
- Pop a waterproof jacket in your bag: a few days of rain are on the cards this month.
- 1 November is a public holiday: please check the opening hours of museums, shops and restaurants on that day.
- For a ‘Freedom’ experience, a vehicle is required. For a ‘Classic’ experience, please check the pick-up locations listed on the details page.
- Some establishments in the seaside resorts close for the winter: opt for Palma, the villages and the island’s interior.
To settle in for a few nights
November is the perfect time for short breaks. Our 2- to 4-night breaks, which include accommodation and experiences, combine a carefully selected hotel, breakfasts, transfers or a hire car (depending on the package), and one to three experiences depending on the duration of your stay. For the Mallorcan countryside, consider a stay at a finca in Son Pieras or a stay in the heart of the island, in Costitx. For the mountains, a stay in Valldemossa places you right in the heart of the Tramuntana range.

Hiking in the Serra de Tramuntana, exploring villages, visiting Palma, enjoying the local cuisine and everything to do with olive oil, right in the middle of the harvest season. Our Winter ‘Classic Experiences’ and ‘ Freedom Experiences’ programmes cater to these interests, whether accompanied by an Amigo or on your own.
Are restaurants open?
In Palma and the villages, yes: life goes on all year round. In the seaside resorts, however, some of the hotels, restaurants and shops close for the winter. It’s best to check before you set off.
