The Weather in Mallorca in November won’t be a problem
If you can’t imagine good weather in November, it’s because you haven’t been to Mallorca. Here, the climate is mild, with temperatures usually ranging between 10°C and 20°C. While it may not be beach weather, it’s perfect for exploring the island.
That said, November is one of the rainiest months on the island, so it’s a good idea to pack an umbrella or a waterproof jacket, just in case. But don’t let this put you off—rain in Mallorca is usually light and intermittent. Plus, thanks to these autumn showers, the island takes on especially beautiful colours and lush vegetation in November.
And if you’re worried about windy conditions, there’s no need to be. In Mallorca in November, you’ll only notice gentle breezes, the kind that refreshes the air without being bothersome. You’ll mainly feel them in the mornings and evenings, so don’t forget to bring a sweater or jacket to keep warm during those times.
Visit Mallorca’s top attractions in November
November is the perfect time to discover Mallorca from a new perspective, and there are plenty of tourist attractions that prove it.
For instance, you can explore the villages and the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is stunning year-round but especially appealing in November when you can enjoy it with fewer tourists and cooler weather. Villages like Valldemossa, Deià, Pollensa, and Sóller become even more charming with the arrival of autumn.
Hiking and cycling also become standout activities in Mallorca in November. The island offers routes for all levels, from gentle walks to more challenging adventures for the daring, like the Ruta de Pedra en Sec, the path to the Monastery of Lluc, or the La Victoria Peninsula Route.
You’ll also have the chance to immerse yourself in the island’s history and culture with numerous cultural visits. Explore Palma Cathedral, Bellver Castle, the Roman ruins of Pollensa, the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, or Capdepera Castle without the long queues.
Moreover, many museums and galleries host special exhibitions during this time, allowing you to discover local art and history in a more intimate setting. Highlights include the Yannick and Ben Jakober Foundation Museum, the Pollentia Monographic Museum, and the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation.
And as for local markets, they’re a must-see in Mallorca in November. The Sineu Market, one of the oldest on the island, and the Alcudia Market are excellent options to explore local life and sample fresh, artisanal products right from the stall. You can also visit the Manacor Market, held every Monday and one of the largest on the island.

Lastly, some tips for travelling to Mallorca in November
If you want to explore the island at your own pace, renting a car in Mallorca in November is an excellent option. It allows you to move freely and discover hidden gems without relying on public transport. While we might not recommend renting a car during peak season, in the off-season months, public transport services are less frequent and have fewer routes.
Keep in mind that some places and attractions may have different opening hours during the off-season, so it’s wise to check them in advance to avoid any surprises.
In November, finding accommodation in Mallorca is much easier, and prices are generally more affordable than during the high season. However, we still recommend booking your accommodation in advance—just in case your trip coincides with an event and everything gets booked up.
