Summer in Palma is something special. The old town comes alive, terraces fill with conversations and laughter, the Mediterranean sparkles under the sun, and every corner invites you to slow down and live in the moment.

If you're visiting this time of year, get ready to experience a city made for open-air enjoyment, without rushing.

Here are five plans to make the most of summer in Palma.

Beaches close to Palma

You don’t need to go far to enjoy the sea. Just a few minutes by car - or even by bus - from the city centre, you'll find beautiful beaches perfect for that refreshing Mediterranean swim. Our recommendations? Ther beach at Ciudad Jardín, with its lively seafront promenade and local vibe; Cala Mayor, ideal for a day of sunbathing; and the beaches of Illetas and Illetas Militar, two turquoise-water coves in a quiet, scenic setting. Perfect for combining the city and the sea with zero hassle.

Rooftop afternoons

This one’s just for our guests. As an MHouse guest, you get exclusive access to our intimate rooftop: the perfect spot to soak up the sun, dip in the pool and enjoy sunset views with your favourite cocktail in hand. It’s all about the views, the vibe and the good life.

Summer markets

In summer, Palma fills with pop-ups and artisan markets showcasing local products, design, art and street food. Don’t miss the Plaça Major market, the Rata Market, or the charming night markets in towns like Santanyí (in the South) and Alcúdia (in the North): perfect for finding unique gifts or one-of-a-kind souvenirs.

Charming terraces

Palma is full of beautiful patios and outdoor terraces, perfect for a slow breakfast, a midday coffee, a cold beer or a glass of wine at sunset. In the old town, you’ll find spots that combine heritage architecture with a vibrant atmosphere. Our very own Gilda Lobby Club is a great example: a cozy, all-day patio perfect for a break between your city adventures.

Boat trips

Want to see Mallorca from a different perspective? Hop on a sailboat, catamaran or private charter and enjoy the coastline from the water. There are sunset trips, routes with swimming stops in secret coves, and group or private experiences departing from Palma harbour. If you’d like help arranging a boat trip, just stop by reception — we’ll be happy to assist.
