Last Updated on May 11 , 2025 by acrossthewaterwithchelsita

Eyeing up Mallorca for a late summer holiday? Find out everything you need to know about visiting Mallorca in September, including the weather, top activities, and special events. (Don’t miss the Binissalem Wine Festival and Bunyola’s Underwear Run!)

As a year-round resident who receives no commission for any tips or suggestions, you can trust me to give you the real deal. This insider’s guide has no hidden agenda, just practical tips and honest recommendations to make the most of your time on the island. Let’s jump in!

TL;DR: Slightly less crowded and expensive than August, September is a good time to enjoy great beach weather and the island’s full entertainment programme before winding down for autumn. I’d recommend it!

What’s the weather like in Mallorca in September?

By September, the first late-summer storms will likely have hit, making the weather pleasantly cooler than sweltering August. Hooray! But don’t worry, summer’s not over yet. You can expect average highs of 28°C (82°F) and lows of 17°C (63°F). And the sea is a warm 24°C (75°F), so lots of swimming, beach days and water sports are still on the cards. 

Just be mindful that your chances of rain double compared to August. It still only rains 4 days on average, but you might want to pack a light rain jacket so you’re not caught out. And if it does rain you’re in for a treat. Mallorca’s rainy days and storms can be quite intense, but they’re beautiful to watch from indoors! 

Average temperature: 23°C (73°F)

Average sea temperature: 24°C (75°F)

Average daily sunshine hours: 7.5

Average rainfall: 4 days, 50 millimetres (2 inches)

Sunrise and sunset at the start of the month: 07:20 am – 20:20

Sunrise and sunset at the end of the month: 07:45 – 19:30

What should I pack for Mallorca in September?

Just like in August, you should still pack your summer things, but you’d do well to include a rain jacket, light cover up and perhaps some closed-toe shoes for the evening if you feel the cold easily.

• Swimsuits
• T-shirts
• Vests
• Shorts
• Skirts
• Summer dresses
• Sandals/flip-flops
• Trainers or comfortable shoes for exploring
• Sunglasses
• Sun cream
• Rain jacket
• Light cover-up
• Closed toe shoes

Things to do in Mallorca in September

While some travel guides will tell you that September is a great month for hiking and cycling, I would advise against it. For many, it’s still far too hot and you can very easily get sunburnt and dehydrated at midday. I would leave any type of physical exertion for October or even November once the summer heat has died down. Instead, I’d suggest the following:

Enjoy the last of the summer parties

If you haven’t already, now’s your last chance to check out Mallorca’s fiestas. Here are a few suggestions to get you started. 

• Watch the sunset in style at one of the island’s many beach clubs.
• Check out the massive range of events in Magaluf. You’ll find everything from bingo raves to foam and pool parties.
• Let your hair down at an outdoor tardeo and be in bed by midnight (Perfect for the 30+ crowd!).
• Get tiddly drinking endless mimosas at a bottomless brunch.
• Catch a morning, afternoon or night-time boat party.
• Have a wild night out at Megapark or Bierkönig.

¡Vamos a la playa!

Summer’s not over yet, so make the most of it at the beach! With around 550 kilometres of coastline, it’s not hard to find a beautiful beach or cove in Mallorca. My top tip? Avoid gorgeous coves like Cala Llombards or Cala des Moro, because they’re tiny and oversubscribed in summer. 

Instead, I’d recommend long and sandy beaches that are popular but have enough room and sunbeds, beach bars etc. for everyone. My personal fave? Platja de Muro! With gorgeous views of the pine-dotted Bay of Alcúdia, crystal clear waters, and enough space for everyone, this northern beach is always a great day out! Oh, and did I mention you can buy fresh coconuts, mangos, and mojitos directly on the beach? Heaven! 

Discover Mallorca by sea

It may be too hot for hiking and cycling but you can still stay active in the water! In September you can still try all sorts of water sports including snorkelling, swimming, surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking, canoeing, SUP, sailing, and much more! 

And if you prefer something more tranquil, why not try a sunset catamaran cruise, a dolphin-spotting tour, or a day trip to the surrounding islands of Sa Dragonera and Cabrera? You could even visit the other Balearic islands of Menorca and Ibiza with the inter-island ferries!

What’s on in Mallorca in September? Key dates and special events

Underwear Race, Bunyola – Dates TBA

Bunyola might be a sleepy village most of the year, but every September, it throws caution—and clothes—to the wind for its famous Correguda en Roba Interior (Underwear Race).

Now in its 20th year, this quirky tradition started as a playful prank by a group of local youths and has since grown into the star event of Bunyola’s Sant Mateu fiestas.

And don’t worry, you can forget the marathon training — this race is just an easy 500-metre circuit around the village. The real challenge is coming up with the best underwear costume! Check out this video for inspiration:

With live music, free-flowing beer, and a good-humoured crowd ready for a night of irreverent fun, this event has become a must-see spectacle. So leave your inhibitions and clothes at home and come join Bunyola’s wackiest party!

Art Night, Palma – 20th of September

Want to explore the city’s culture and arts scene but on a budget? Palma’s Nit de l’Art (Art Night) is the event for you! Organized every year on the third Saturday of the month by Art Palma Contemporani, Nit de l’Art is one of the largest annual art events in Europe. This is a unique opportunity to visit around 30 of Palma’s museums, galleries and cultural centres free of charge between 6 pm and 11 pm.

This year’s 29th edition of the Nit de l’Art features many new exhibitions by well-known artists at galleries where art lovers can enjoy a glass of cava or two while they peruse the collections. They had me at cava!

Aside from the open-house galleries, you’ll find many shops open until late and the streets buzzing with street artisits and thousands of visitors who come to soak up the lively atmosphere.

Grab a map from participating galleries including Casal Solleric, Can Balaguer, and Fundació Miró Mallorca, and see where the night takes you! And if you’re busy on the 20th? You haven’t missed out. Despite the event being called “Art Night”, many art galleries and museums keep their exhibitions free of charge for a few more days or even weeks following the event.

Festa des Vermar, Binissalem – Dates TBA

Calling all wine lovers! Get ready to get dirty, have fun, and drink lots of vino! 

The Festa des Vermar, celebrated throughout September, turns Binissalem, Mallorca’s most important wine-producing region, into the epicentre of all things wine. But this is not your average harvest festival. Yes, there’ll be wine tasting, but it’s also your chance to get up close and personal with wine’s main ingredient in frantic grape-treading competitions and messy grape battles. Let me tell you more…

The Great Grape Battle (Gran Batalla de Raïm)

Prepare to get dirty in Mallorca’s messiest fiesta! The Gran Batalla de Raïm is an epic grape battle where villagers and visitors throw some 10,000 kilos of grapes at each other to celebrate the end of the wine harvest. Perhaps inexplicably, it’s tradition for participants to wear white linen for this, but whatever you do, wear clothes you don’t mind being permanently stained with memories of this raucous event – that counts for spectators too! After the battle around midday on, let your (grape-stained) hair down at a traditional party for the entire village.

Grape-treading Competition (Concurs de Trepitjar Raïm)

Grab a partner, take off your shoes, and get ready to move your feet in Binissalem’s grape-treading competition. With less than 5 minutes to tread two sacks of grapes, it’s a race against time to make as much grape juice as possible. Whether participating or watching, this competition is just as exciting as it is hilarious! 

Wine Tasting

You’ve thrown them, trod them, and now it’s time to taste them! Taste a wide range of Mallorcan wines at the Binissalem wine fair in Parc de Sa Rectoria. The wine tasting includes young wines as well as wines from previous vintages, many of which are free to try!

Other Wine-related Events

Other events and activities to look forward to include:

• Carnival-style parades paying homage to the all-important grape
• A wine-tasting course and contest
• Live music
• A non-alcoholic cocktail workshop
• Various races
• Fireworks
• Correfoc
• Tasting traditional food like Fideus de Vermar – a dish similar to paella but made with short noodles instead of rice as well as slow-cooked lamb, tomatoes, spices, sobrassada and Binissalem red wine.

So what are you waiting for? Grab some friends and head to Binissalem for the 59th Festa des Vermar. 

Pros and cons of visiting Mallorca in September

Is September a good time to go to Mallorca?

In my opinion, September is a good time to visit Mallorca. It’s still busy but it’s not as crazy crowded as in August. There’s plenty to do, the weather is perfect for going to the beach and all sorts of water activities and the events calendar is packed with fun things to do.
