September 2024 in Mallorca, plans to enjoy it
September in Mallorca is a magical month that offers a unique experience for visitors. With the end of summer, the island takes on a special charm, ideal for those looking to enjoy its beauty without the crowds of the summer period.
The weather is particularly pleasant. Temperatures remain warm, with highs around 25-28°C, but without the sweltering heat of July and August. Evenings are cool and perfect for walks or outdoor dining. The Mediterranean Sea remains warm and inviting for swimming and water sports.
Beaches and nature in September 2024 in Mallorca
The beaches are one of the main attractions at this time of year. With fewer tourists, it is possible to enjoy the famous Mallorcan coves in greater peace and quiet.
Places like Cala Mondragó, Es Trenc or Cala Formentor offer crystal clear waters and golden sands in a more relaxed environment. It is the ideal time to explore the lesser known or difficult to access coves, such as Cala Varques or Cala des Moro.
For nature lovers, September is perfect for hiking. The Serra de Tramuntana, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers spectacular routes. The s'Arxiduc path or the route from Deià to Sóller are popular options that combine panoramic sea views with the charm of mountain villages.
Towns and villages to visit
The inland villages of the island come alive in September with their traditional festivals. Binissalem celebrates its famous Festa des Vermar, dedicated to the grape harvest, where you can taste local wine and take part in activities such as the ‘wine battle’. In Felanitx, the Fira de Sant Agustí offers a sample of Mallorcan culture and gastronomy.
Palma, the capital, is an unmissable destination. Without the hustle and bustle of summer, it is more pleasant to stroll through its medieval streets, visit the imposing Mallorca Cathedral or explore the Santa Catalina quarter. Museums such as Es Baluard or the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró offer a cultural experience without the summer queues.
Mallorcan gastronomy shines especially in September. It is the season for figs and almonds, fundamental ingredients in the local cuisine. Restaurants offer seasonal dishes such as tumbet or frito mallorquín. It is a good time to try sobrassada or enjoy a freshly made ensaimada in a traditional bakery.
September sports in Mallorca
For cycling enthusiasts, September offers ideal conditions. The roads are less congested and the weather is perfect for cycling around the island. The Serra de Tramuntana route or the route through the Pla de Mallorca are exciting challenges for cyclists.
Golf is another popular activity at this time of year. Mallorca has excellent courses such as Golf Son Gual or Golf de Andratx, where you can play in a pleasant climate with spectacular views.
Water activities are still an attractive option. Kayaking or paddle surfing are excellent ways to explore the coast. Boat trips to the island of Cabrera, now a Maritime-Terrestrial National Park, allow you to discover unspoilt nature and deep blue waters.
In the evenings, the September sunsets are spectacular. Places like the lighthouse of Formentor or the Es Colomer viewpoint offer breathtaking views. For night owls, Palma and areas such as Magaluf continue to offer nightlife, although in a more relaxed way than in the middle of summer.
