Last Updated on May 10 , 2025 by acrossthewaterwithchelsita

Thinking of holidaying in Mallorca in July, but not sure what to expect? Worrying it might be too hot or crowded? Before you book, check out this insider’s guide for an honest review of everything from the weather to special events. As a full-time resident, I’m here to give you the real deal — no hype or commission to be made, just practical tips and honest recommendations. Read on to find out more.

What’s the weather like in Mallorca in July?

Temperature: Average daily highs of 31℃ (83℉)  and lows of 19℃ (61℉)

Rainfall: Just 1 rainy day on average

Sunshine: 11 hours

Mallorca in July is hot, sunny, and dry – perfect beach weather! 

Can you swim and sunbathe in Mallorca in July?

Absolutely! With an average temperature of 24℃ (75 ℉), the sea is comfortable enough to swim and snorkel for hours. 

What should I pack for Mallorca in July?

Just summer clothes. With evening temperatures hovering around a balmy 19℃ (66℉), there’s no need to take a jacket or layers to wrap up in. 

Is Mallorca crowded in July?

Yes! With most schools closed for summer, millions of holidaymakers flock to the island making everything busy, from the roads to hotels, beaches and restaurants. 

Because of this, I recommend booking everything in advance, including hotels, restaurants, and rental cars. In the evening, it can also be incredibly difficult to nab a taxi, so call in advance to avoid getting stranded (sadly, speaking from experience!). 

Things to do in Mallorca in July

With daytime temperatures of over 30℃ and summer crowds clogging the streets, now is not the time for hiking, cycling, or extensive sightseeing. Of course, where there’s a will, there’s a way. So if you’re determined to get your fitness or culture fix, by all means, do it, but consider going early in the morning before the temperatures and tourists rise for the day. 

Instead, I suggest beating the heat with the following activities:

Hit the beach

July in Mallorca has perfect beach weather. Some of my favourites include Cala Agulla, Palma Nova, Playa de Alcúdia, and Playa Muro, but all of them are gorgeous!

Warning: There are no “hidden gems” in Mallorca. Everywhere has been instagrammed and promoted out the wazoo. So despite what the guidebooks tell you, you won’t find any secret coves or quiet beaches in Mallorca in summer. In fact, if you don’t arrive by 8 or 9 am, you could find it difficult to find a parking (or even a towel) space at a lot of the beaches

Tip: If you’re a late riser, I suggest going to beaches within walking distance in summer to avoid parking issues. And although it sounds counterintuitive, you’re more likely to find a space at the bigger, more popular beaches. 

Go snorkelling or diving

In summer, the waters around Mallorca are usually calm, warm, and crystal clear – ideal conditions for snorkelling and diving! Home to more than 400 species of fish, the Balearic Sea is a fantastic place to see a wide range of marine life, including:

• Dolphins
• Crabs
• Turtles
• Sharks (Gulp!)
• Eels
• Several species of jellyfish
• Sea sponges
• Anemones
• Starfish
• Seahorses

And much more!

Snorkelling tips

• Go early! Not only will there be fewer beachgoers, the sea tends to be calmer before the wind picks up in the afternoon. Plus, you’ll find marine life is much more active in the morning. 
• Head to rocky coves to increase your chances of seeing octopus and other sealife that take refuge there.
• Wear sturdy rock/water shoes to protect your feet from rocks and sea urchins!

Where are the best places to go snorkelling in Mallorca?

Any rocky beaches are generally a good shout with some notable ones including Badia Blava, Cala Delta, and Cala Blava in the south of the island, the area around Sa Dragonera in the west, and the island of Cabrera in the south-east. 

Try a new water sport

If you want to keep moving despite the summer heat, water sports are where it’s at. In the summer, you’ll find countless water sports on offer, including surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking, canoeing, jet-skiing, SUP, sailing…

Try something new and have fun! 

Go on a boat trip

It might be too hot for intensive sightseeing, but that doesn’t mean you can’t explore the island. How about exploring the island on a sunset catamaran cruise, a dolphin-spotting tour, or a day trip to the surrounding islands of Sa Dragonera and Cabrera?

You could even go further afield and explore the other Balearic islands of Ibiza, Formentera and Menorca. The fastest inter-island ferries get you to Ibiza in just 2 hours and Menorca in 1 hour! 

Pssst! If you’re toying with the idea of visiting Menorca, check out my blog post about why you should make Menorca your next holiday destination! 

Cool off at a water park

If you’re with kids, they’re probably dying to go to a water park. Fortunately, there are many around the island, including:

• Hidropark Alcúdia (North) – Hidropark offers slides, wave pools, a mini-golf course, and more. With a dedicated kids’ area and shallow pools, Hidropark is particularly well-suited for young children. 
• Aqualand El Arenal (South) – One of the largest water parks on the island, featuring a mix of high-speed water slides, kids’ splash pools, and calm raft rides. 
• Western Water Park (Southwest) – Magaluf’s Wild West-themed water park will please everyone – from the craziest adrenaline seekers to the not-so-brave. 

Money-saving tip: While the tickets aren’t so expensive, the food at the water parks is. Take your own snacks to avoid shelling out on overpriced fast food.

Party the night (and day) away!

There are plenty of ways to have fun in Mallorca in July, including its buzzing nightlife! 

You can:

• Relax at a beach bar with live music and cocktails
• Get tipsy at a bottomless brunch
• Dance all evening at a tardeo 
• Join an all-day boat party
• Have a debauched night out at Megapark or Bierkönig
• Watch a late-night show like Pirates Reloaded
• Enjoy adult bingo raves, full moon, foam, pool parties, and more events in Magaluf!

Night markets

Beat the heat by shopping at one of the island’s night markets. Hosted across the island in the summer months, you can find stalls offering crafts, jewellery, food, drinks, leather goods, textiles and more. A full list of daytime and night markets can be found here.

A summer tradition since 1987, Cinema a la Fresca is a cultural staple in Mallorca that brings the magic of movies outdoors.

Is July a good time to visit Mallorca?

Pros

• You have almost guaranteed beach weather with warm water for swimming.
• A lot is going on in terms of parties and events.
• All hotels, restaurants, beach services, water sports, attractions, and shows are in full swing.

Cons

• It’s too hot for many outdoor activities.
• Prices for rental cars, hotels and attractions are as high as they get.
• It’s crowded.
• Because of the summer crowds, parking and driving can be nightmarish.

Is Mallorca worth visiting in July?

I’m not gonna lie. Mallorca in July is hot, busy and expensive. If you prefer a quieter and cheaper holiday, you’re better off visiting in low season – in which case you may prefer Mallorca in March or April.

But if you don’t mind the heat and the crowds, July is the perfect time for a beach holiday. The days are long, the evenings are warm and you’ll never run out of things to do – snorkelling, water sports, nightlife, festivals… island life is in full swing and waiting for you to make unforgettable summer memories.
