Light and comfortable clothing for the Mediterranean climate

The climate in the Balearic Islands is warm and sunny for most of the year, so it’s best to pack fresh and lightweight clothing:

• Cotton or linen T-shirts and blouses.


• Shorts and summer dresses.


• Comfortable sandals for walking and flip-flops for the beach.

If you’re visiting in spring or autumn, add a light sweater or jacket for cooler evenings.

Beach essentials

The Balearic Islands are famous for their turquoise-water coves and white-sand beaches. Be sure to pack:

• Swimwear and sarongs.


• Sunglasses and a hat to protect yourself from the sun.


• A quick-dry beach towel.


• A water-resistant beach bag.

Sun protection and personal care

The Mediterranean sun can be very intense, especially in summer. Make sure to include:

• High-protection sunscreen.


• After-sun lotion or moisturizer to care for your skin after a day at the beach.


• Mosquito repellent, especially useful in nature-rich areas.

Footwear for exploring

Beyond beaches, the islands offer charming villages and hiking routes. Pack:

• Sports or hiking shoes for excursions.


• Comfortable footwear for exploring historic centers such as Ciutadella in Menorca or Palma in Mallorca.

Useful gadgets and accessories

Technology can also make your trip more comfortable:

• European plug adapter.


• Portable charger for your devices.


• Camera or smartphone with plenty of storage to capture unique landscapes.


• A lightweight backpack for excursions.

Documents and other essentials

Don’t forget the basics to avoid any surprises:

• ID card or passport.


• European Health Insurance Card or travel insurance.


• Hotel and transport reservations, printed or in digital format.


• A small first-aid kit with essentials.
