The weather in Mallorca in July: ideal for your summer holidays

The weather in Mallorca in July is enviable. The temperatures are typical of summer, ranging from 20°C to 35°C, with cooler nights dropping to around 22°C. July is a very dry month, characterised by sunny days with hardly any clouds, and very little rainfall except for the occasional storm.

Near the sea, a gentle breeze blows, creating a very pleasant atmosphere to cool off those high temperatures. The wind tends to be stronger in the afternoons and evenings, which is something to keep in mind if you’re looking to participate in sports like sailing or kitesurfing.

Visiting Mallorca in July is a popular choice, as it’s the perfect month to enjoy the beaches and outdoor activities with great temperatures and a low chance of rain.

In July, several local festivals eagerly anticipated by all Mallorcans are celebrated, full of tradition, vibrant atmosphere, and happiness. On 16th July, many coastal towns honour the Virgen del Carmen, the patron saint of sailors, with a grand festival. Here, you’ll find both land and sea processions, the popular blessing of the boats, live music, and many activities.

The same goes for the festival of San Cristóbal, although in this case, it honours lorry drivers, and rituals like blessing vehicles occur. This festival is just as full of activities and cultural events similar to the Virgen del Carmen celebration and is held on the 10th of July.

Another well-known festival in Mallorca that you can also enjoy in July 2024 is the San Jaime festival, celebrated on the 25th of July in places like Alcudia, Manacor, and Sa Pobla. It features religious processions, parades, concerts, fairs, activities for children, and fireworks displays.

Additionally, throughout the year, especially in summer, many towns and cities organise markets and artisan fairs where you can buy all sorts of products and enjoy the best Mallorcan cuisine. The best markets in Mallorca are held in places like Alcudia—on Tuesdays and Sundays, in Pollença—on Sundays, and in Sineu—on Wednesdays.

The best beaches to cool off at in Mallorca

Mallorca is especially known for its beaches, and in July, they are at their best.

Cala Mesquida is perhaps the favourite beach, after those in the Cala Ratjada area. It has completely crystal-clear waters, white sand dunes, and an ideal setting for relaxing and enjoying many services such as restaurants, beach bars, and guided water activities, etc.

If adventure is your thing, an excellent option is Coll Baix, a beautiful beach surrounded by cliffs and crystal-clear water, completely wild and without any services. Although the rocky path to get there can take about 20 minutes, the effort is worth it. Another option is Cala Varques, a secluded beach that you can also enjoy after a good hike.

Other more accessible options with the same level of charm are Formentor or Playa de Muro. The first is in the north of the island, near Pollença, and is famous for its impressive views of the sea and mountains; the second is extensive, with fine sand, shallow waters, and countless services.

Tips for enjoying Mallorca in July without crowds

Like you, many other travellers and tourists want to enjoy the quieter side of Mallorca, though July can be challenging as it’s a very popular month for holidays.

With this in mind, we recommend exploring less-known areas during the middle of the day. Places like Palma or the more popular beaches will be crowded, whereas other towns like Búger or Campanet and beaches like Cala Varques might be quieter and less visited.

To avoid crowds at the most touristy spots, it’s best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Most importantly, plan and book your trip to Mallorca in advance, as there’s a chance you could miss out on tickets, tours, or good accommodation options.
