Pre-Christmas
Palma and the surrounding area will provide you with all the seasonal buzz you need at this special time of the year.
The switching on of the lights in Palma took place on Saturday 22nd November 2025 and the show goes on until 7 th January 2026.
Shops are open 7 days a week, most until 21.00hrs (except Sunday when they close a little earlier) , so more than enough time to complete your Christmas shopping list.
The Christmas markets start as early as mid November. One of the largest and most popular is at Puerto Portals , as much for the quality of gifts on offer as for its location on this glitzy marina with its millionaire yachts. Just 10 km from Palma, easily accessible by bus ride, taxi or car.
The weather
Mornings and evenings can be cool, but between 11 am and 4 pm, there’s a good chance you will be in short sleeves.
Christmas Day in Palma
On Christmas Day, stroll along the seafront in Palma, Sóller or Pollensa and stop for a coffee or something stronger and watch the world go by with the sun on your face. Restaurants are open, you would need to book, especially those which offer a special Christmas Day menu in the hotels we feature.
