Mallorca is an island that rewards the golfer who knows its rhythms. The same sweep of pine, limestone and shimmering Mediterranean that makes the courses around Son Vida and Camp de Mar so beautiful also shifts in mood through the year — emerald and fragrant in spring, golden and still in autumn, gently green even in the depths of a northern winter. Knowing when to come is half the pleasure.
This is our specialists’ guide to timing a Mallorca golf trip well: when the fairways are at their finest, when the courses breathe quietly between holiday crowds, and the windows where fine weather and unhurried tee sheets meet. Read it as a starting point, then let us tailor the dates to the trip you have in mind.
Spring (March to May): the island at its greenest
Spring is, for many, Mallorca at its most beguiling. Winter rain has left the fairways lush and the rough thick with wild flowers, the air carries almond blossom and pine, and daytime temperatures climb gently from the high teens in March to the low-to-mid 20s Celsius by May. Course conditioning is superb after the cooler months, and the light is long enough for an unrushed eighteen and a leisurely lunch afterwards.
It is an ideal season to settle into a refined base and play at your own pace. The Castillo Hotel Son Vida and the Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel, both set in the wooded hills of Son Vida above Palma, suit the spring golfer who wants beauty, comfort and a calm tee sheet — the island’s peak summer crowds are still weeks away, so mornings on the course feel wonderfully your own.
Summer (June to August): early starts and poolside afternoons
High summer is hot and reliably dry, with July and August often touching the mid-30s Celsius under near-cloudless skies. The golf is still very playable, but the trick is rhythm: an early tee time while the air is fresh, then the rest of the day given over to the sea, the spa and the pool. Played this way, summer in Mallorca is a joy rather than an endurance.
This is the season that suits families and those travelling with non-golfers, where the resort matters as much as the round. Zafiro Palace Palmanova and the Hipotels Playa de Palma Palace near Palma lean into that easy resort life, while Son Caliu Spa Oasis Hotel and the Iberostar Suite Hotel Jardin del Sol at Santa Ponsa give you cooling pools and sea air to return to once the morning’s golf is done.
Where our specialists would stay in Mallorca
Autumn (mid-September to early November): the connoisseur's window
If we had to name one season, autumn would be it. The fierce summer heat eases into warm, settled days in the mid-20s Celsius, the sea is still warm enough to swim, and the holiday throng thins noticeably once the schools return. The courses are in fine fettle after a summer of careful conditioning, and tee sheets relax into the unhurried pace that makes a golf trip feel restorative rather than rushed.
It is the perfect moment for a true golf-led break. Pula Golf Resort at Son Servera on the quieter east of the island makes a characterful autumn base, while the Hipotels Cala Millor Park at Cala Millor pairs golf with a gentler, less-trodden stretch of coast — both at their best when the September light turns soft and the courses empty out.
Winter (December to February): warm-weather golf when home is cold
Mallorca’s winter is its quiet secret. While much of northern Europe is closed for the season, the island plays on through bright, still mornings with daytime highs around 15 to 17 Celsius — light-layers golf, the occasional passing shower, and ground that plays a touch softer underfoot. For the keen golfer chasing daylight and fairways in January, it is hard to better in Europe.
A sheltered, comfortable base is everything in winter. Pure Salt Port Adriano in Calvia and the Steigenberger Golf & Spa Resort at Camp de Mar offer exactly that — refined warmth to return to after a crisp morning round, with a spa to ease tired shoulders before dinner. Value is at its kindest in these months too, with tailor-made winter breaks from

Frequently asked questions
Which months have the best weather for golf in Mallorca?
April, May, late September and October are the standouts — settled, warm days in the low-to-mid 20s Celsius, low rainfall and comfortable conditions for a full eighteen. June is excellent if you tee off early, while the deep summer of July and August is best reserved for early-morning golf and poolside afternoons.
When is Mallorca quietest and best value for a golf trip?
The shoulder seasons — particularly mid-September into November, and the winter months from December to February. Crowds thin, tee sheets relax and tailor-made breaks start from
Can I play golf in Mallorca all year round?
Yes. Mallorca is one of the few European destinations where golf is genuinely a year-round pursuit. Even in midwinter the courses around Calvia and Camp de Mar stay open and playable, with bases such as Pure Salt Port Adriano and the Steigenberger Golf & Spa Resort offering warm comfort between rounds.
Is spring or autumn better for a Mallorca golf holiday?
Both are excellent, and the choice is one of mood. Spring brings wild flowers, almond blossom and lush, freshly recovered fairways; autumn brings warm seas, soft light and the calmest tee sheets of the year. Keen golfers often favour autumn for its settled weather and space on the course, while spring rewards those who love the island at its greenest.
