Who this trip suits
Mallorca packs a remarkable variety of golf into a short transfer radius. The Arabella cluster sits in the wooded hills of Son Vida above Palma; Son Gual guards the flat land near the airport; and Alcanada runs along the north coast at Alcudia. You can play three contrasting courses without ever driving more than an hour.
It suits the group that wants golf in the morning and a proper city, beach or mountain village in the afternoon. Palma's old town, the Tramuntana villages and the bays of the north all sit within easy reach, which is why Mallorca works as well for couples as it does for a buddies trip. It is also one of the easiest first golf trips to sell to a mixed ability group, with forward tees and short, scenic transfers.

A sample four night structure
Day one, fly to Palma and settle into a hotel near the old town or Son Vida. Day two, Son Gual ten minutes from the airport, then lunch on the terrace. Day three, Son Muntaner up in Son Vida, with the afternoon for Palma's cathedral and a long dinner. Day four, drive north for Alcanada at Alcudia and a night by the bay before flying home.
When to go
Spring and autumn are prime, with warm, settled days and quiet fairways. Summer is hot but playable early in the morning; winter golf is mild and good value, with the occasional shower. Book marquee tee times several weeks ahead in the spring and autumn peaks.
Green fees and what a trip costs
These are third party green fees for the 2026 season, gathered at the time of writing and offered as a guide, not a quote. Rates move with season, day and tee time, and twilight is cheaper. Always confirm directly before booking.
