Live music, beach club parties and local festivals
As we head into August, the summer season is at its peak and Mallorca’s jam-packed calendar of events continues to impress. Beach parties, live music concerts, traditional festivals and sports competitions are all on the agenda.
Couples, families and groups of friends all choose Mallorca for their summer holidays and August is a popular month to visit. Here’s our comprehensive insider's guide to Mallorca in August.
August tends to be the hottest month of the year in Mallorca with an average of 12 hours of sunshine per day, an average temperature of 25°C and lunchtime temperatures often reaching the early thirties. The sea is a comfortable temperature for most by this point in the summer and those balmy summer evenings provide the perfect environment for dining al fresco style. For those keen to see the island at its best, sunrise is just before 07:00 and sunsets are around 21:00.
When it's hot and dry above ground, head down below - some of the island's most important pieces of natural architecture are its caves! The Cuevas del Drach (translated as the Caves of Drach) located near Porto Cristo on the east side of the island are the most famous due to the record breaking underground lake within the caves. A visit here is a magical affair as it includes a special music performance! Near Arta, in the north-east of Mallorca, there's also a vast network of underground caverns full of stalactites and stalagmites at the Cuevas del Arta, regular guided tours are available throughout the summer.
You cannot miss these caves as you drive from Manacor to Porto Cristo. Most people only want to visit one set of caves during their time on Mallorca and the giant billboards and flags at the entrance are an attempt to ensure that this is the one. In fact you are better off continuing to the 'Cuevas del Drach' or up the coast to the 'Coves d'Arta'.
The Caves of Campanet are situated in the north of Mallorca in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains. The caves cover a surface area of approximately 3,200 square metres at a depth of 50 metres
Do not believe anyone who tells you that they have discovered the perfect unspoilt cove on the west coast - unless of course the name is Sa Calobra. This is indeed a beautiful spot, which is why tour buses pour in by the dozen every day, even in winter.
These caves near Arta, in the north-east of Mallorca, are a fascinating network of underground caverns whose weird stalactites and stalagmites conjure up mysterious images of Heaven and Hell. An early visitor was Jules Verne, the caves are said to have inspired his Journey to the Centre of the Earth.
This wild peninsula on Mallorca's northeast tip has stunning views, sandy beaches and the island's original luxury hotel. The 20-km drive from Port de Pollenca to Mallorca's most northerly point has scenery as dramatic as anyone could wish for. Cliffs 400 metres tall jut into the sea, their weird rock formations attracting nesting seabirds, while pine trees seem to grow out of the rocks.
Dark and cool, these limestone caves on the edge of Porto Cristo have become one of Mallorca's top tourist sights. Groups walk along 1200m of smooth paths exploring the magnificent stalactite formations within.
