November in Mallorca: What's On & Weather

Traditional fairs, delicious food and art

Imprint
By Jose Rains, Updated

As visitor numbers to the island calm right down, the streets, beaches and trendy restaurants of Mallorca are noticeably quieter than previous months. The weather is also cooler but the sun still shines (most of the time), making the island an attractive autumn destination.

Local traditional festivals thrive at this time of year, more cyclists take to the roads and Palma becomes an appealing city break destination throughout the cooler months on the island.

What's the weather like in Mallorca in November?

Exploring the atmospheric ruins around Sant Elm

The days may feel a little shorter in November since the clocks will have changed, but you can expect around seven hours of sunshine per day, so plenty of time to get your vitamin D fix. The average day temperature is 15°C and often reaches 20°C at lunchtime, so certainly a comfortable climate to conduct sporting activities, and it's still very much possible to enjoy eating al fresco style during the day. Whilst the temperatures continue to drop, the sun still very much shines throughout November in Mallorca. You will still see families playing on the beaches, along with a few trying to top up their tans. Note there are usually some rainy days forecast in November, so do pack a rain jacket but it's unlikely to last for long. Sunrise gets closer to 08:00 as the month closes and sunset will get as early as 17:30.

Palma in November

About the Attractions in Mallorca

November is a great time to visit the island's capital, Palma de Mallorca. This historic city has become a trendy city break destination thanks to its beautiful architecture, excellent gastronomy and vast choice of boutique hotels. There's plenty to see, from the iconic Cathedral and charismatic streets of Palma's old town, to art galleries, museums and of course there are some wonderful shops to explore.

Markets in November

Soller Market

The markets in Mallorca are year-round, and November is a great time to rub shoulders with the locals as there are far fewer tourists around. Pick up local produce from fruit and vegetables, through to artisan pottery and baskets, handmade jewellery and other arts and crafts.

Museums & Galleries in Mallorca

Now the official summer season is over, this is a great time to visit some of Mallorca's best museums and galleries without having to share your experience with too many others. The Es Baluard Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art is popular for art connoisseurs, as it showcases more than 500 works with legendary names like Picasso on its books. Others might be more attracted to more local treasures like The Pilar and Joan Miro Foundation, the Robert Graves Museum or Chopin's cell.

Vineyards in Mallorca

Amongst all the tours you could take, a wine tasting tour at one of the award-winning vineyards dotted around the island is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Mallorca’s rich history of wine production and trial some local produce. This is a wonderful activity for large groups or couples, but we do recommend booking in advance.

Hiking in Mallorca

Rocky gorges, lush valleys and coastal trails, what more could you ask for? Mallorca has everything for all abilities when it comes to its hiking routes but whatever trail you choose we promise you will be rewarded with breathtaking views. Many routes are sign posted, and there is plenty of accommodation dedicated to keen backpackers looking for a hiking holiday.

Golf Courses in Mallorca

Mallorca is one of the best golfing holiday destinations in Europe right now and November is a great time to hit the greens! Choose from a selection of courses with epic mountain and coastal scenery, whether you're a beginner or playing off scratch there will be something to tickle your golf tastebuds on the island.

November events in Mallorca

November in Mallorca blends food, culture and seasonal celebrations. The island’s largest agricultural fair brings farmers and artisans together for markets, music and family activities, while smaller village fairs highlight local produce such as olives. Food lovers can follow tapas routes through Palma as restaurants showcase creative small bites. The month also features jazz concerts across city venues and a unique light display inside the cathedral. By late November, festive lights and street performances signal the start of the Christmas season.
