Is April 2027 a good month to visit Palma de Mallorca?
Lively — the typical April day in Palma de Mallorca is calmer than 56% of its year.
The weather is the trade-off here, not the crowds.
Calm · Lively · Busy · Packed rank a day against Palma de Mallorca's own year — not a headcount.
April 2027 is a shoulder month in Palma de Mallorca: mild and wet, around 20°C / 68°F with rain on about 9 days, Calm on 8 of 30 days and never busier than Lively.
Mostly yes. April in Palma de Mallorca is Lively on the typical day, and not one of the 30 days in our window is crowded enough to call Busy. Expect around 20 °C by day, with rain on about 9 days. The crowd comes with the school holidays in France, Germany and the Netherlands. Cruise ships call on 24 of the 30 days, 3 at once on Sunday 25 April. No week of April is meaningfully quieter — the typical day is Lively throughout; pick by day instead. The crush is at the cathedral quarter on cruise mornings; the quiet is at Bellver's pinewood. The calmest day is Monday 5 April, the busiest Wednesday 28 April.
In short, a solid middle-ground pick.
Of the 12 months we forecast for Palma de Mallorca, April is the quietest. Its heaviest day is Wed 28 Apr, busier than 57% of the year; its lightest is Mon 5 Apr at 33%.
Preparing pays off in a month like this: timed-entry tickets and pre-booked tours turn the queue time into sightseeing time. see the options →
Pack for wet first — rain on 9 of 30 days.

How busy is Palma de Mallorca in April?
It's quiet right through April — no crowded stretch to plan around.
Ships call on 24 of 30 days, a typical call day carrying at least 3,062 guests between them — real, but a secondary part of the crowd here; the season moves the needle more.
Across the month the days run from 33% to 57% of the year. Daylight runs about 13 hours.
Either side of it, May picks up.
The calmest days are the 5th, 7th and 9th — aim for those if your dates can flex.
