I still remember the moment we stepped off the plane in Mallorca for our honeymoon — the warm breeze, the scent of the sea in the air, and that giddy feeling of knowing we had days ahead filled with nothing but romance, relaxation, and discovery. Mallorca truly has that magic. From its hidden coves and charming mountain villages to candlelit dinners under the stars and luxurious boutique stays, this island is made for love.
Planning our honeymoon here felt exciting but also a little overwhelming at first — there’s just so much to see and do. But once we got into the rhythm of island life, everything unfolded beautifully. That’s why I wanted to share everything I learned about planning the perfect romantic getaway in Mallorca — from choosing the right location to finding those unforgettable experiences that will make your trip truly special. Whether you're dreaming of lazy beach days, wine tasting in the countryside, or cliffside dinners with panoramic views, Mallorca is the kind of place that will leave you with honeymoon memories you'll treasure for a lifetime.
So, if you’re wondering where to start or just need a bit of inspiration, this guide is here to help you plan a honeymoon that’s as magical and unique as your love story.
After the whirlwind of planning a wedding, all I wanted was to unwind with my partner and soak up every moment of our first days as newlyweds. For some, that means long, lazy afternoons on the beach with the sound of waves washing away the last bit of wedding stress. For others, it’s about diving into culture, history, and exploring somewhere rich with character. For us, we were craving a mix of both — and Spain immediately came to mind. With its warm Mediterranean charm, incredible food, and stunning coastlines, it felt like the perfect backdrop for our honeymoon. But one place in particular captured our hearts: Mallorca.
This dreamy island off Spain’s eastern coast had everything we were looking for — romance, beauty, adventure, and that blissful feeling of escape. So, with our rings still shining and our hearts full, we set off to make the most of this new chapter together. If you’re considering a honeymoon in Spain, let me tell you — Mallorca is pure magic. And thanks to the team at Vida Villas, who know this island inside and out, we had plenty of inspiration to help us plan something unforgettable. From secluded beaches and sunset dinners to the best times to visit and romantic day trips, I’m sharing it all here to help you create your perfect honeymoon in Mallorca, just like we did.
One of the first decisions we had to make when planning our honeymoon in Mallorca was when to go — and it’s definitely something worth giving some thought to. The truth is, this island is stunning all year round, but timing can really shape the experience. While the summer months are known for their sun-drenched days and warm sea temperatures (especially in August when it can reach 30°C), we quickly realised it also comes with peak season crowds and inflated prices. For us, that wasn’t quite the romantic escape we had in mind.
Instead, we opted to visit during one of Mallorca’s “shoulder seasons” — either spring (April–May) or early autumn (September–October). The weather was still beautifully warm, the sea was inviting, and we found the island to be quieter, more affordable, and even more charming without the high-season rush. It allowed us to slow down, enjoy every moment, and make the most of our time together in a more peaceful, authentic setting. So if you’re anything like us, and want a honeymoon that’s both intimate and sunny, one of these off-peak windows is ideal. Working out the best time to visit Mallorca is paramount to building memories that will last a lifetime!
Whilst there are a plethora of idyllic honeymoon spots across Mallorca, we’ve selected some of our favourite destinations across the island for you to choose from when planning your Spanish honeymoon here. From tranquil seaside resorts to thriving and vibrant capital cities…
Alcúdia
Mallorca is packed with honeymoon-worthy places, and we were spoilt for choice. From tranquil towns to vibrant city life, here are the spots we visited — each with its own kind of magic.
Alcúdia
We fell in love with Alcúdia almost instantly. Nestled on Mallorca’s northeast coast, this little gem offered the perfect blend of beach days and cultural discovery. We spent mornings lounging along its 10km stretch of golden sand, then wandered hand-in-hand through the medieval old town’s cobbled streets by afternoon. The historic centre — with its ancient walls, quaint shops, and cozy restaurants — created a storybook setting for romantic dinners and evening strolls. It’s peaceful, picturesque, and full of charm — everything we wanted in a honeymoon destination.
Palma
For a burst of energy and excitement, we carved out a few days in Palma, the island’s capital. If you and your partner enjoy art, history, food, and a bit of nightlife — Palma delivers on all fronts. We explored gothic cathedrals, browsed modern art galleries, and tried some of the best food we’ve ever eaten at its local restaurants and tapas bars. When night fell, we even dipped into the city’s buzzing nightlife scene. It was the perfect contrast to our slower days elsewhere on the island — and gave us a great mix of city life and beachy downtime.
Puerto Pollensa
Peaceful, scenic, and completely romantic — Puerto Pollensa was one of our favourite places. The laid-back vibe was just what we needed. We walked the famous Pine Walk, a beautiful seafront promenade with views that made us stop every few minutes to take it all in. It’s also a great base for exploring the outdoors — we hiked in the nearby Tramuntana mountains and took some of our favourite honeymoon photos there. If you’re dreaming of a relaxed escape with a hint of adventure, this town has it all.
Pollensa
Just a short drive inland from Puerto Pollensa, the town of Pollensa captivated us with its history and timeless charm. We’re both fans of art and culture, so exploring the galleries, museums, and ancient streets was a treat. The El Pont Romà — a Roman bridge — and the famous Calvari Steps were among our highlights. Climbing to the top and looking out over the Formentor Peninsula was unforgettable. This place feels like a love letter to Mallorca’s past, and walking through it hand-in-hand made us feel like part of something truly special.
Santa Ponsa
On the western side of the island, we also made time for Santa Ponsa. It has a slightly livelier beach town feel, but it’s surrounded by natural beauty that we couldn’t resist. We spent a day exploring its rugged coastline and took a hike through the nearby woodlands, soaking up the mountain views. It’s a great spot if you want a bit of buzz with access to wild, natural landscapes — and the sunsets from here were something else.
Where we stayed truly helped shape our honeymoon into something unforgettable — and we were lucky enough to stay in a few incredible spots that we’d recommend in a heartbeat.
Casa Rostollas – Pollensa
Tucked away in the rural outskirts of Pollensa, Casa Rostollas was the ultimate countryside escape. We loved waking up to birdsong, sipping coffee in our private garden, and having a dip in our own pool before heading out for the day. It felt secluded and romantic, yet was only a short walk from Pollensa’s town centre whenever we wanted a bit more life around us. If you’re looking for serenity, this is it.
Pine Walk Apartment – Puerto Pollensa
For a completely different vibe, we also spent a few nights in a beautiful 2nd-floor apartment right on the iconic Pine Walk in Puerto Pollensa. This place put us right on the waterfront with sweeping views over the bay — we had breakfast on the terrace every morning and watched the sun melt into the sea each evening. Everything was within walking distance: the beach, shops, restaurants — and the atmosphere was warm, friendly, and relaxed.
La Casa de Marina Playa – Near Alcúdia
Our final stay was just outside Alcúdia, in a spacious beachfront villa called La Casa de Marina Playa. This place felt like a dream. A few footsteps from the sand, a quiet terrace to watch the waves roll in, and all the privacy we could have asked for. It was a perfect blend of comfort and location, close to some of the best beaches in northern Mallorca and great for slow, lazy honeymoon mornings.
When it comes to the most romantic places in Spain for our next honeymoon, it’s undoubtable that Mallorca offers much to tempt couples eager to begin their leap into marriage with many adventures, excitement, and sheer beauty.
