Types of Holidays

Situated in the popular holiday destination of Majorca, Palma Nova is easy to reach.

As Majorca is only an hour and a half flight from London, it is suited to almost any type of holiday â" from a weekend break to a three-week holiday.

Best Time to Go

Like the UK, Palma Nova has the hottest weather in the summer months from May to September.

In addition to the warmer weather, Palma Nova is drier in summer, with July averaging just 9mm of rain over four days, while September averages 50mm over five days.

Sunshine also varies throughout the year, averaging six hours a day in December and January compared to 13 hours in July, with 12 hours in June and August.

If low cost is more important than the weather though, then the colder months will be cheaper and have fewer tourists.
