Off-season — lowest travel prices with still acceptable climate.
January in Mallorca is on the cool side — with highs around 15°C it's less suited for a beach holiday, but good for sightseeing away from the high season.
Daytime temperatures reach up to 15°C, cooling to 5°C at night (daily average: 10°C). With 6 sunshine hours per day and 4 rain days (45 mm), this is one of the cloudier months. At 15°C, the water is still quite cool in January — a wetsuit may be useful.
Pack warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Cool temperatures make hiking and cultural trips enjoyable — beaches are off the agenda.
Die Insel gehört den Einheimischen. Mandelblüten überziehen das Hügelland rund um Llucmajor und Felanitx in Rosa und Weiß — dieses Spektakel findet ohne Menschenmassen statt. Palma hat wieder Tische auf den Gehwegen, der Café-Kaffee kostet wieder den halben Preis.
