Is Majorca safe for solo female travelers?

Majorca is generally considered safe for solo female travelers. However, like any place, it's always crucial to maintain vigilance, particularly in crowded areas where pickpocketing can be an issue. The locals are friendly and helpful, and sticking to well-traveled areas can contribute to a safer experience. Nighttime requires standard precautions, and it's best to avoid isolated areas after dark. Public transportation and taxis are reliable and easy to use. Emergency services are promptly responsive.

How safe is Majorca for solo female travelers?

Travel safety index

4.6 /5

Solo travel

If you like seafood, get a plate of grilled octopus or gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp). The paella in coastal towns is worth the hype, especially when it’s freshly made for two. Don’t skip ensaimadas (the fluffy spiral pastries) with coffee in the morning, and if you like tapas, order pimientos de padrón and patatas bravas — they’re everywhere and always different. Also, if you’re into ice cream, there are small artisanal gelato spots in almost every seaside town. Things to do: Cala Varques & Cala Mondragó – the kind of beaches you see in postcards, with turquoise water and soft sand. Alcudia Old Town – cobblestone streets, little cafés, and a nice market. Cap de Formentor – dramatic cliffs and views that feel unreal (the drive up is half the adventure). Palma – the cathedral is massive and beautiful, and the little streets nearby are full of hidden tapas bars. Boat trip along the coast – totally worth it for the views and swimming spots you can’t reach by land.

Solo travel

I spent 2 days there as a budget weekend trip. Flight ticket was like 20 euros there and back to Barcelona. Amazing food, nice beaches. You can shower at the beach. If totally on budget you can sleep at the airport lol

It was a very nice trip ! In Autumn, it’s the end of the tourist season so there were not plenty of people but the weather was still excellent and the sea was really warm ! The locals are so friendly and welcoming and always volunteers to help us and gives us the best places to hang out !

How safe is Majorca for women?

I think Mallorca is a very safe place but just to be sure have always someone by your side because I went with friends to Paguera. People over all where very nice and even when we are at a beach where women could safely swim without a top on, it was safe. I didn't see any men bothering women. So, it's very safe in my opinion
