April is the month when you notice that Mallorca really comes to life again. As temperatures rise above 20ºC, people flock to the island and its beaches to bask in the Mediterranean sun. Even though the sea remains at a chilly 15ºC, you will definitely catch sight of some courageous individuals indulging in their first swim of the year.
April in Mallorca: What's On & Weather
Annual fairs, beach club openings, sporting and yachting events
This month the seasonal resorts open, the spring fairs are in full swing and you will find there’s a jam-packed schedule of events taking place around the island, making Mallorca a top destination to visit in April.
Spring fairs fill the calendar throughout April and we believe Port d'Alcudia, Andratx, Colonia de Sant Jordi, and Calvia host some of the biggest and best as they each celebrate their local specialities.
Cyclists travel from far and wide to compete in Mallorca's legendary 312 cycling challenge and as the weather gets better, many yachts are out on the water, and big yachting events bring all different types of yacht lovers onto the island.
What's the weather like in Mallorca in April?
In April there's a notable increase in temperature which is why many seasonal businesses choose this month to start their summer season. You can expect an average of 8 hours of sunshine per day and it’s common for temperatures to reach the early twenties. So whether you are looking to embark on some sporting activities like cycling and hiking, lounging by a pool or exploring some of Mallorca's idyllic beaches, you will enjoy some warm but comfortable weather. When packing your suitcase, we recommend bringing 'layers' as the evenings are still quite cool, and there is the odd day of rain. By the end of the month sunrise is before 07:00 and sunset reaches past 20:30 so the days are feeling a lot longer now.
Markets in April
Mingle with the locals at a market
Whatever day it is, there's usually a market taking place somewhere on the island. These are a great place to pick up local produce including top notch food goods like fresh fruit and vegetables, local cheeses and meats, honey, almonds, olives and more. There's also a good selection of artisan goods, handmade jewellery, summer clothing and textiles. As a general rule, these markets usually start between 08.00 and 09.00 in the morning and finish at 13.00, so make sure you get up early. You could even grab a traditional Mallorquin Ensaimada with your cafe con leche at one of the local restaurants or towns you are visiting.
Beach Clubs in Mallorca
The beginning of April sees our favourite beach clubs opening their doors all across the island in some of the most idyllic locations. Some some world famous names have taken up residence on the island. So whether you prefer to lounge on the sun lounger or fancy a swanky spot for lunch or dinner, you can enjoy some top-notch food, scrumptious cocktails or a chilled glass of champagne in a photo worthy setting!

Nightlife in Mallorca

These early openings are small, weekend-focused parties that set the tone for the months ahead. Expect a lively but more relaxed atmosphere compared to peak summer, with DJs, themed nights, and early‑season promotions, making it a great time to enjoy nightlife without the large summer crowds.
