Mallorca is not just about coves and good weather. Here, life is celebrated with an infectious energy. Street parties, fireworks, folk dances and ancient rituals fill the villages with magic, music and excitement. And if you are lucky enough to coincide with a traditional festival during your holiday, get ready for a very different experience… and a very Mallorcan one at that.
The island is full of celebrations that connect with its history, roots and customs. One of the most vibrant is the night of Sant Joan, on 23 June. Fire, music, jumping over bonfires… It is a magical night that combines tradition and celebration like no other. On the beach, it is customary to dip your feet in the water at midnight and make three wishes.
At the end of August, Felanitx celebrates the Cosso festival, a popular festival that emerged in the 1980s and has evolved over the years without losing its essence: irreverent, festive and with a touch of protest. Music, joy and a lot of local pride.
And if you want to experience one of the most creative festivals on the island, make a note of the Mucada de Sineu, which is held on the first Monday before 15 August. Based on the legend of Much de Reig, this celebration combines tradition, fable, humour and lots of pink clothing. The Plaza des Fossar hosts the procession between the Muc and the Muca, and during the day there is a unique atmosphere, with parodies of all kinds, music, colour and a sense of humour that is so Mallorcan.
The festivals in Mallorca are a delightful mix of history, creativity, identity and fun. Experiencing them from the inside will leave you with a much deeper memory than a photo of the beach.
Where to stay?
After a day of festivities, nature, beach or tapas… there’s nothing like coming home to your ‘home’ in Mallorca. And that’s where we come in.
At Nord Villas Pollensa, we offer a wide variety of holiday accommodation that will allow you to enjoy the island in complete freedom, comfort and privacy. Staying in a hotel, with schedules, noise and shared spaces, is not the same as having your own Mallorcan retreat. A private villa gives you peace of mind, flexibility and that special touch that turns a holiday into unforgettable memories.
Whether you are travelling with your family, as a couple or with a group of friends, we have accommodation to suit you. A perfect example for large groups? Traditional villas located between Pollença and Puerto Pollensa. As soon as you arrive, you can breathe in the calm. We have villas with several bedrooms, a large kitchen, private garden, swimming pool, barbecue, terrace… and even a play area! Ideal for disconnecting and reconnecting.
Always perfect for enjoying Mallorca at your own pace, without rushing and in total comfort.
Our accommodation is the perfect alternative for experiencing the island from the inside, with the space and tranquillity you need after each day of adventures or celebrations.
Mallorca in June
Mallorca in June is truly amazing. The summer heat begins to be felt without reaching the extremes of July or August, the beaches look spectacular and the atmosphere already smells like holidays. It is a perfect month for those who want to enjoy the island in good weather but avoid the most intense crowds.
It’s an ideal time to explore the hidden coves of the north, visit charming villages such as Pollença, Fornalutx or Valldemossa, or sign up for a hiking route through the Serra de Tramuntana, where the landscapes will take your breath away. It’s also the perfect season for lovers of cycle tourism or kayaking in calm waters.
June also sees the start of many popular festivals and open-air celebrations, so if you happen to be there, don’t miss out! And, of course, there’s no shortage of local markets, sunsets on the coast and lively terraces at dusk.
In short: if you’re thinking of visiting Mallorca, June is one of the best times of the year to do so. Good weather, a thousand things to do, a local atmosphere and all the magic of the island… what more could you ask for?
