Solo travel

I spent 6 days in Mallorca in April, and it was memorable. The weather was perfect with lots of sunshine and mildy humid. I stayed in Palma de Mallorca, but travelled to the nearby towns and beaches. Transportation is excellent and most beaches are accessible by bus.

Solo travel

I really enjoyed traveling the island! I would definitely recommend going to soller. And a also did a dolphin tour- that was amazing! I didn't visit the party part of the island, cause I wouldn't have felt save being alone.

Family travel

I recommend Mallorca for female solo travels. It’s a safe island. You can have beach life and nightlife. The island is quite small, but I recommend to rent a car and visit it, driving is safe, the routes are well maintained.

Solo travel

Spent a few days walking, hiking, and swimming. So much to see and so much accessible by foot or bike (lots of cyclists and rentals everywhere). Incredible beaches (sandy on one side, rocky on the other). Super safe, stress-free place. Absolutely recommend it for solo travel.

Group travel

We felt very safe during our stay, I can recommend booking a “Finca” instead of a hotel! There are many houses (for example on Airbnb) with great prices if you’re planning on going with a group of people (so the prices can split). Santanyí has some great restaurants! Our favourite has been “Anoa” - we’ve been there twice in a week.

Is Mallorca safe for women?

Leonie

Mallorca in general is a very safe island. There are many tourists, which in the main city Palma de Mallorca attract some pick pocketers, which can basically happen anywhere in the world. Also, if you own a luxury home, the chances for break-ins are higher than usual here on the island.
