Is December 2026 a good month to visit Palma de Mallorca?
Calm — the typical December day in Palma de Mallorca is calmer than 84% 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.
December 2026 is the Palma de Mallorca most visitors never see — Calm on 27 of 31 days and never busier than Lively, mild and showery, around 17°C / 62°F.
Yes. December in Palma de Mallorca is Calm on the typical day, and not one of the 31 days in our window is crowded enough to call Busy. Expect around 17 °C by day, with rain on about 6 days. The crowd comes with the school holidays in Germany, the Netherlands and France. Cruise ships call on 9 of the 31 days. Palma Christmas Markets (Placa Major, La Rambla, Parc de ses Estacions, Sa Feixina) falls on 1–31 December. Early December is the month's quietest stretch in Palma de Mallorca — the typical day at 9%, against 21% in late December. The crush is at the cathedral quarter on cruise mornings; the quiet is at Bellver's pinewood. The calmest day is Tuesday 1 December, the busiest Sunday 27 December.
In short, a genuinely good window to pick.
Among the 12 months we forecast for Palma de Mallorca, December ranks 9th for crowd pressure. Its heaviest day is Sun 27 Dec, busier than 49% of the year; its lightest is Tue 1 Dec at 9%.
You won't need skip-the-line tickets here — that's rather the point. A month like this is the one for the longer visit — the guided walk, the food tour, the day out of town, with room and time to enjoy them. see what's on →
Nothing extreme to plan around — rain on 6 of 31 days.
The one thing you wear all day, every day of the trip.

How busy is Palma de Mallorca in December?
It's quiet right through December — no crowded stretch to plan around.
Ships call on 9 of 31 days, a typical call day carrying at least 2,534 guests between them — real, but a secondary part of the crowd here; the season moves the needle more.
The month is not one thing: its lightest day sits at 9% of the year and its heaviest at 49%, so where you land inside it matters. Daylight runs about 9 hours.
Any day works. There is no need to plan your dates around the crowds.

The upside of a quiet December

- This is a wing-it month: nothing needs locking in.
- Photograph the landmarks empty — the shot everyone else queues for.
No queues to skip, and nothing to book ahead — that's the whole point.
