April marks the start of the tourist season in Mallorca (Majorca), Spain. After a long winter slumber (November – March), accommodations and restaurants open up their doors and welcome sun-starved Europeans.
April is shoulder-season in Mallorca. Though by no means empty, crowds are more manageable in popular destinations. Parking is more readily available. And, overall accommodation prices are lower than in summer months. Tourism noticeably crescendos around the Easter Holiday, which can fall anytime between late March and late April.
Though itโs possible to swim in the Mediterranean Sea, itโs still a bit too brisk for most (15ยฐC water temperature). The mild daytime temperatures throughout April attract many cyclists and hikers to the island. If youโre craving a multi-day hiking adventure, spring is an ideal season to tackle the Dry Stone Route (Ruta de Pedra en Sec), aka GR221.
Last year, we spent the whole month of April in Mallorca. We hiked extensively in the Tramuntana Mountains, drove the scenic Ma-10 road, visited popular places (which are usually overrun in summer) like Calรณ des Moro, the walled city of Alcรบdia, and Valldemossa.
Overall, April is a lovely month to visit Mallorca. Stay in historic towns rather than purpose-built tourist resorts, which are mostly lifeless in early spring. Read Where to Stay in Mallorca for an overview of the best towns to stay in.
Sunrise is between 6:50 – 7:30 am and sunset is between 8:10 – 8:40 pm. The days get slightly longer as the month progresses.

Mallorca April Weather

Statistically, the average April temperature is 14ยฐC (57.2ยฐF). Though day temperatures are quite moderate, evenings are still cool.
When we visited, it was far colder than we anticipated with many days hovering around 6ยฐC (42.8ยฐF). Locals confirmed that the cold weather was atypical.
Rainfall is common throughout the month, especially in the mountains. It rains about 5-6 days per month on average.
Though April is spring, pack layers. If youโre staying in the mountains, bring a warm sweater, jacket, and beanie.
1. Drive the Ma-10 Road

The Ma-10 road is a scenic mountain road which connects Andratx in the southwest of the island with Pollenรงa in the northwest. Ma-10 Route: Google Maps. Itโs widely considered the most beautiful road on the island.
This stunning 118 km-long road links together Mallorcaโs most picturesque villages, twisting through dreamy Mediterranean landscapes of agricultural terraces, olive groves, pine-fringed coastal cliffs, and limestone mountains.
For that reason, the Ma-10 route is the backbone of our suggested 7-Day Mallorca road trip itinerary. Take it slowly and visit Estellencs, Banyalbufar, Valldemossa, Deiร , Port de Sรณller, Sรณller, and/or Fornalutx along the way.
Worthy Detour. Between the Embassament des Gorg Blau reservoir and Escorca, the thrilling Sa Calobra Road Ma-2141, branches off the Ma-10 and steeply drops down to the coast in a series of tight hairpins. Donโt miss the beach at the end of the Torrent de Pareis canyon. The beach is accessible by foot via two tunnels from Sa Calobra.
Overall, the Ma-10 road is safe to drive, if you have experience driving narrow mountain roads with tight curves. In spring, cyclists can cause congestion issues along the route. As frustrating as that may be, only pass cyclists when thereโs clear visibility ahead. We saw many reckless drivers overtaking groups of cyclists in turns.

2. Hike in the Tramuntana Mountains

The Serra de Tramuntana is a limestone mountain range which runs parallel to the northwestern coast of the island. In 2011, this Mallorcan mountain range was awarded World Heritage Status for its cultural value. The highest summit in the range is Puig Major (1436 meters).
Our Mallorca Hiking Guide summarizes the most interesting hikes in the Tramuntana Mountains, including Cornador Gran Day Hike, Tossals Verds Circuit Trail, Puig de lโOfre Peak Hike, La Trapa Viewpoint Hike, Castell dโAlarรณ Rock Castle Hike, and Path of the Archduke.
The best base for hiking in the Tramuntana Mountains is Sรณller, or Port de Sรณller. Valldemossa and Deiร are also well-positioned for hiking excursions in the Serra de Tramuntana.

3. Stay in a Finca

A finca is a farmhouse, or countryside estate, set on a plot of agricultural land.
Today, many Fincas across Mallorca have been converted into rural vacation homes, bed and breakfasts, or hotels. Many Fincas have undergone extensive modernizations and renovations, while still maintaining their historic character.
Though quality varies, most Fincas offer peaceful countryside settings, beautiful grounds (usually with a swimming pool), and sometimes farm-to-table products (oranges, almonds, olives, etcโฆ).
In Mallorca, a typical Finca estate is defined by natural stone walls, beamed ceilings, large courtyards, and antique furnishings.
Here are some standout Fincas we recommend booking for your next trip to Mallorca.

5. Visit Alcรบdia Peninsula

Alcรบdia peninsula is located in Northern Mallorca, between the bays of Alcรบdia and Pollensa/Pollenรงa.
The peninsula is home to the charming walled city of Alcรบdia, the tourist resort of Port dโAlcรบdia, Platja dโAlcรบdia beach, the Pollentia ciutat romana Roman ruins, the Mirador de Penya des Migdia viewpoint, and Platja des Coll Baix, which is often hailed as the most stunning beach in Mallorca.
Inhabited since the Bronze Age, settled by the Romans, attacked by pirates, settled again by the Moors, and then conquered by King James I of Aragon, this ancient part of Mallorca encapsulates the history of the island.
In 1298, King James II of Aragon bought Alcรบdia (which was a Moorish farmstead) and founded a town. The city plan remains the same today, with buildings dating back to the 13th century and walls dating back to the 14th century.
The medieval town of Alcรบdia, a pedestrian zone, is a delight to explore. Park outside the city walls and stroll in through the Porta Sant Sebastia gate. The well-preserved medieval townscape is packed with restaurants, shops, and boutique hotels like Can Tem Turismo de Interior (midrange), Forum Boutique Hotel & Spa – Adults Only (luxury), and ARA Alcudia (midrange).
Each week, the town holds a weekly market on Tuesdays and Sundays.
After visiting the town, we recommend hiking this varied and scenic trail: Talaia dโAlcรบdia and Platja des Coll Baix.
