Picturesque picnic spots in Mallorca

The best places for picnics on the island

Imprint: By Jose Rains, Updated 29 April 2026

Thanks to around 300 days of sunshine per year and an array of enchanting scenery, from rugged mountain backdrops to idyllic paradise beaches, Mallorca has all the ingredients to create the perfect picnic.

Year round, you will find both locals and tourists gathering for big picnics with families and friends on the island's beaches, mountains and natural parks. Although you can bring a picnic blanket and plonk it down wherever you like, the island hosts some designated picnic areas too. For the ultimate picnic experience, here are some handpicked locations providing top-notch picnic and BBQ facilities.

Shopping for your picnic

First things first, what are you going to pack in your picnic basket.

The Spanish love a picnic, there is plenty of picnic-friendly produce found in supermarkets and markets on the island. Supermarkets are the obvious choice as they are the easiest option for many. Carrefour, Mercadona, Eroski, Lidl and Aldi are a few renowned names on the island and will have everything you might require, including fresh baguettes, juicy tomatoes, Manchego cheese. Spanish ham, chorizo, sobrassada and fresh fruit, all of which are compulsory for any picnic in Mallorca.

For those who are keen to shop for the finest ingredients for their trip, then we highly recommend a trip to one of Mallorca’s many weekly markets. Alternatively, Palma’s Mercat Olivar fresh food market is open Monday to Saturday from 07:00 until 14:00. Remember a cool box is an absolute must to keep your cervezas and wine chilled on a hot summer day. If you don’t own one already, then most supermarkets sell these and/or chill bags.

Picnic on a Beach

If a post-picnic swim is your kind of thing, or you simply love dining by the water, Mallorca has plenty of scenic coastal picnic spots to choose from. Many of these locations are also great for a quick snorkel or a paddle, so you can easily build up an appetite before settling down to eat.

S’Illot Beach, located close to Alcúdia, offers a peaceful natural setting with sweeping views across the bay of Pollença towards Formentor. A small picnic area sits beside the pebbled beach, with a handful of tables, benches and a couple of grills. The clear, turquoise water and rocky seabed make it a popular spot for snorkelling, so it’s well worth bringing your mask.

Mondragó Natural Park, on the east coast of Mallorca, combines beautiful beaches with protected natural landscapes. Alongside its sandy coves, you’ll find wetlands, pine forests and an impressive variety of birdlife. Just behind the beach at Sa Font de n’Alís, there’s a dedicated picnic area with tables and benches next to a children’s play area, offering a more comfortable alternative to dining on the sand after a swim or coastal walk.

Picnic on a Small Island

Escape to your very own dragon shaped island for a picnic lunch. Although it sounds like it's set in the fictional world of ‘Games of Thrones’, Sa Dragonera is most definitely real but you have to catch a boat from Sant Elm to get to the small island and natural park. It is home to 361 different plant species but one of its most interesting residents is the wall lizard, an endemic subspecies that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Birdwatchers are also in for a treat here as there’s an extensive list of seafaring birds dominating the area including Audouin’s gull, the Balearic shearwater and Eleonora’s falcon. The most popular picnic area is by the pier at the beginning of hike 1 where there are tables and benches but make sure you bring supplies as you won’t be able to buy food once you reach the island.
