February in Mallorca: What's On & Weather
Traditional fiestas, almond blossom and more
February is here bearing longer days and more hours of sun. The island's illustrious almond blossom reaches full bloom, making Mallorca more beautiful than ever.
February is often called the most beautiful month in Mallorca as the landscape is decorated with almond blossom, making it a popular time for artists and photographers to explore the island. Son Servera's annual Fira de la Flor d'Ametler is the fair paying tribute to the Mallorca's famous almonds, but there's a lot more to February than these nuts, with Valentine's Day celebrations and Palma Cathedral's Festival de la Luz (light festival) headlining the show.
Naturally the cooler climate of spring time in Mallorca means the hikers and road bikers are out in full force, and there are some wonderful rural hotels accommodating outdoor enthusiasts who want to have Mallorca's mountains on their doorstep.
Restaurants and hotels around the island get creative when it comes to creating packages for those looking to make some lifelong memories with their loved ones for Valentine's Day.
Whether it be a hiking holiday, a Valentine's trip or a city break. Let’s see if we can tempt you!
What's the weather like in Mallorca in February?
February feels brighter as it sees an average of eight hours of sunshine per day. The average temperature is 10°C, but highs of 15°C during the day, make it feel a lot warmer than northern Europe at this time of year. Do note the evenings see temperatures drop, often as low as 5°C so pack a warm coat. Sunrise begins at around 08:00 at the start of the month, but just a few weeks later it's more like 07:30, whilst the sun goes down at around 18:30 by the end of February.
Valentine's Day in Mallorca
Mallorca's hotels tend to create some attractive packages tailored especially for a romantic weekend away. Bottles of bubbly, dinners, spa treatments and more can be on the menu so do take a look at some of the different options to see what might tickle your taste buds. Whether you are looking for a city break or a more rural retreat, Mallorca has it all! So take your pick.
Foodie February
With it being Valentine's Day this month, celebratory lunches and dinners are of course on the agenda for many. So we thought we should discuss the restaurants on the island.
Palma is a foodie hub, with an extensive selection of restaurants offering all types of cuisine. We highly recommend trying out one of the modern tapas restaurants, they are becoming a bit of a cult here.
At the other end of the spectrum, if you head inland there are some wonderful rustic restaurants offering authentic hearty Mediterranean cuisine.
Hotel dining tends to offer international gastronomy with a dash of Mallorcan flair, or aim for the coastline, especially the ports for some of the islands best fish restaurants!
Vineyards in Mallorca
We would encourage you to head inland to check out Mallorca's almond blossom, but whilst you're there it would be rude not to stop and admire the vines too. Mallorca's wines have become increasingly popular in more recent years, and there are plenty of vineyards offering tours and tastings, which is also a great Valentine's Day activity. Various vineyards offer bespoke wine related activities, from train tours to romantic picnics.

The Sierra de Tramuntana mountains and the inland plains are popular, so you will likely spot big groups of cyclists out on the roads.
