Well, the climate on the island is Mediterranean, mild during the winter months and hot in the summer, dry most of the year although the climate, being an island, it is always humid. Most months the temperatures are normally high, especially during the sunniest hours of the day. During the warmer months, May to September, you can bathe in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea to cool off during your holidays in Mallorca.

 

If you come to the island during the summer season, in terms of clothing you will only need light clothing, a swimsuit, sunscreen and very little else. As for the basics, as for any trip do not forget to the essentials such as your documentation or your credit card. For some travellers, carrying a small first-aid kit is important, but even if that´s not for you, we would still recommend taking some simple items with you, such as aspirin, Band-Aids, or disinfectant. In any case, remember that wherever you go there will be pharmacies and other shops where you can buy anything you might require.
